I have days with two separate workout runs planned- this is not ideal around my schedule: is it an error; should I combine them; should I delete one?

Hello, welcome to Athletica.  
It is not an error, double runs are amazing way to increase fitness, and durability while staying injury free. However, I totally understand if running twice don’t fit in your schedule. I would extend one of those runs into a “traditional” long run (possibly Sunday), and consider either moving the aerobic run from Saturday to Wednesday. That strength sessions should be 30 min, not 1hr. could you please let me know which training plan week this is showing up in? Marathon - mid volume - Build 1-2-3 or?  
Best, MJ
