Running Doubles: this isn't for everyone. Why do it? It will flush out your legs to promote recovery. If you ran an age appropriate number of miles this summer and want to try running doubles - talk to your coach. General guidelines: keep the second run short - 20 to 30 minutes. Get on soft surfaces. 9th graders - 1 to 2 per week. 10th/11th - 2 to 3. Seniors 3 to 4.
