  • I have a limited amount of time in my morning workout, about 70 minutes, so I will occasionally do doubles when I want to focus on one particular aspect of my swimming, and can't fit it in in the morning. I rarely double more than twice weekly, and the second session is usually in the evening and only 1200-1500 yards/meters. Also in the final 2-3 weeks before a taper I will start doing doubles 2-3 days a week just to get my daily yards up an additional 1500-2000 yards, and again to focus on what I consider my weaknesses. If you consider the spin sessions and yoga practice that I do you could say that I do doubles almost daily.
