I plan on running 10 mile days at least 3-4 times & 1 long run. The rest of the days I’d like to double. What’s the best way? 4 AM 6/8 PM ?
Of course you will benefit from running more. I'd do 4-8 for your doubles. The benefit is if you keep doubling over a long period of time, you'll get faster than you would had you ran less.
Doesn't answer your question, but kind of interesting: Michael Musyoki was an interesting athlete that would run 1 hour everyday, but it would vary from 8 miles to 12 miles depending on how he felt each day. In 1982 he set the half marathon world record.
I’ve doubled in the past but never consistently. I’m thinking long term because I’m also thinking of cutting track workouts or should I keep them in? I
I think if you're building and adding a new stimulus you might want to cut back on the intensity, once you get used to running this much add harder running and sharpen with track stuff.
