[ Doubles ]

Two athletes, one race, eight shared stations.

Doubles is not an easier singles. Both of you run the full 8km and only the stations are shared, so the work comes at you faster and recovery is shorter. The upside is that you no longer have to be good at everything, and that is where doubles races are won.

Not sure doubles is the right entry?

The single biggest predictor of a good doubles race is whether you and your partner run at a similar pace, because that is the part you cannot split. Work out where your own fitness sits first, then find the partner to match it.
