What do you think about Jeff Galloway's recent article [Runner's World column] on two a day runs?

REPLY: Jeff is like a brother to me. And I know that he has no trouble handling two- or even three-a-days himself.

But I couldn't adopt or recommend his plan. It's an invitation to overrun and overtire -- either that, or dilute one good run into two mediocre ones.

My runs don't seem like they really begin for almost a half-hour. If, say, two of them totaled most of an hour, they still would feel much less satisfying than one run of that length.
