Doubles times are typically 10-15% faster than individual Open times because partners can split station reps strategically. The strongest pairs specialise at complementary stations, with one partner dominating sled work while the other handles bodyweight movements.
What Affects These Times
- Partner compatibility - Mismatched fitness levels force the stronger athlete to wait, adding dead time at every transition.
- Station split strategy - Smart pairs alternate who leads each station based on individual strengths, keeping rest periods productive.
- Transition efficiency - Doubles teams lose time coordinating handoffs. Practised pairs save 30-60 seconds across the race.
- Running pace alignment - Partners must agree on a sustainable pace. Running too fast early causes one partner to fade.
How to Improve
- Train together weekly - At least one session per week should mirror race conditions with your partner.
- Assign station roles - Decide who takes the larger share of each station before race day.
- Practise transitions - Rehearse entering and exiting the workout zone as a pair.
- Match running paces - Find a pace that keeps both partners at 70-75% effort through the 8 km of running.
- Race-simulate monthly - Run a full mock Doubles race to identify weak points in your partnership strategy.

FAQ
Is Doubles easier than racing solo? The total work is the same, but splitting station reps and pacing together typically produces faster finish times. Most Doubles teams finish 10-15% quicker than their individual times.
