Doesn't matter, marathon training or base training. All singles or do you add some doubles?

I double once a week to preserve a rest day.

I usually double a few days a week with 2 mile easy runs in the morning.

I can hardly remember anymore. But mostly singles.

Mostly singles. Around 75 mpw or higher, I try to add in one or two doubles.

I don't run 70 mile weeks often. But when I do, I run doubles.

I highly value my rest day.

Last few marathon training cycles I've been using the Pfitz 70mpw plans. Two (consecutive) 70-mile weeks I have coming up look like this:

Mon - Rest

Tue - 6 AM / 4 PM

Wed - 11 w/5x1200m @ 5k pace

Thu - 15

Fri - 10

Sat - 6

Sun - 18 w/12 @ MP

Mon - Rest
Tue - 9 w/10x100m strides
Wed - 15
Thu - 7
Fri - 12 w/7 @ tempo
Sat - 6
Sun - 21

They will be a lot of fun.

70 is rare for me, and to make it happen, I need a double somewhere in there.

I prefer it to be singles. Easiest to handle if I do a fairly long run on Sunday - takes the pressure off the rest of the week.

Tuesday: 70 miles on the treadmill

Wednesday: 70 miles on the treadmill

Thursday: 70 miles on the treadmill

Friday: 70 miles on the treadmill

Saturday: 70 miles on the treadmill

That was funny, jimmyb. Now what about doing s'more on some mornings or evenings before/after the main run of the day.

This thread is interesting, especially to those of us who aspire to higher MPW averages.
