why so many doubles rather than just running every day and a rest day every two weeks?
Partly life / family balance & simple planning to run both ways on any one day but also working on both the theories of 2nd run is on looser muscles & double days work towards longer time on feet / running form when more tired.
Other non run weekdays will be gentle bike commutes, occasionally steady riding velodrome or ss mtb too but those easily dropped if needed.
Sounds like your run today was interesting from Strava title...

makes sense, I see.
Yes, was on my way back when a woman on a phone asked me to stop and help a guy who was in the river. I couldn't initially see him because of vegetation but there he was, an old guy holding on to the side with a shopping bag around his arm and a bike attached behind him. Fortunately, one of the support boats for the rowers on the river came across and we got him up some steps a bit further downriver.
@sirlarry those hills look really good fun. I'm jealous.

I've just had a little look at that Rob Young guy. He's a massive liar. His website lists pbs of 15:56 (5k), 30:47 (10k), marathon (2,41). His powerfo10 (results website for all uk athletes, lists every major race that a uk athlete is involved in) has him as 5k (not listed) parkrun pb 18:55, no 10k pb, marathon pb (3:07).
