Forcing the plan to schedule double run days?

Last marathon training plan I had worked perfectly for me, with double run days rather than 1 longish run per day.

I can’t seem to get this replicated but I haven’t changed any of my settings since. I’ve asked the AI coach and there does appear to be settings that maybe coming to suggest this?? But I can’t see them currently.

Has anyone else got a plan that schedules double run days, can you share any of your settings?

There is this setting in plan builder

Thanks @Phil I think I had seen that and checked it, there wasn’t this option last year.

It’s not 2 hard sessions thats the thing, generally it would be one aerobic and one interval.

In that case what you could do is

Create a custom aerobic session and add it to your library. Then add it to the day you want it alongside the interval session. You can add to as many weeks forward as you want.

Then let the AI adjust sessions around that aerobic session.

@jockefc23 The high volume marathon plan double runs as default. You could use that and then delete the ones that are too much.

@Marjaana I’ve just rebuilt my plan making sure that it was the High volume Marathon plan and it still doesn’t schedule the double run days, apart from 4 taper weeks before my 2 races in March and April?

For me it often takes a day or two, up to a week or two for my plan to settle, especially if I haven’t done whatever I’m trying to have it do recently haha. Check again tomorrow (about 48 hours?) and let us know!
