Is it ok to run twice in one day?
Is it ok for runners to do two runs in one day? For most runners, doubles are a foreign concept, assumed to be the province only of those cranking out 100-mile weeks. Most of us don’t run twice a day...

Yes, if you want to push yourself to the next level, running twice is a good idea as long as your body is getting enough rest and recovery mixed with your exercise. Rest and recovery days are as essential to our training as the exercise itself. During the rest phase, they adapt to the physical stresses we have placed upon them. Without rest and recovery, we risk over-training syndrome, injury, and burnout.
