Two-a-day training
Splitting the day: an aerobic session in the morning, strength work later on
Two sessions in one day: a run early, a lift in the evening. Hours and a meal in between are what make it work, since the second session then has something left to use. Endurance and strength goals both get a proper slot instead of one being tacked onto the end of the other. It costs time and recovery, so people drop back to one session when the week fills up.

Prefers to train twice: a run in the morning, strength work in the evening. He writes that a growing business, marriage and a daughter changed what fits, so he now judges the week by whether the cardio and the resistance work both got done rather than by any single day.
