Whatever the merits of doing doubles in terms of training benefit, I do not see them as being an advantage in terms of time. Illustration

AM: get dressed - warm-up - run 5m - stretch - shower -dress

PM: get dressed - warm-up - run 5m - stretch - shower -dress

Everything in bold you are doing twice, so where is the time gain?

Do you eat more than once a day?

I guess I must be a total slob, but I generally don't take a shower after every run. Sure if its warm out or it was a tough workout, but if it is a nice cool day evening and I just run some easy miles I barely break a sweat and don't take a shower until the next morning. I don't really warm up or cool down on an easy run either. I do typically change into running clothes though so that is an extra 5 minutes out of my day.
