I have my first relay race at the end of this month n was curious as time gets closer should I be doing daily doubles n running in the morning n at night? Or just be consistent n do long runs 3-4 times per week. I've never really been a distance runner - I have 3 legs for the relay - 7, 5 and 4 miles.
Thoughts???

Are you running all 3 legs the same day? If so I would definitely break up your runs leading up to the race. You want your body to be prepared to the break between runs. Assuming your run is on the weekend I wouldn't run after Wednesday and spend the rest of race week stretching and possibly practicing yoga. Good luck on your run.0

Try a few days of 2 a day runs. Run the first one as you normally do and the second one shorter and easy. And get a good taper in during race week.
I have had good experiences with 2 a day runs. At first they seem pretty hard but your body adjusts and you get really "running strong".0 -

It's between 2 days - I did start yoga n that seems to help with recovery0
