After all, the Kenyans crush everyone in running events and they take rest days, hell, take to any top runner or coach and he'll tell you the importance of rest.
Also, for a lot of people, it will be effective to just train once a day, constant two-a-days will lead to overtraining.
Training Twice a day is best for times when you need to make a leap in terms of increasing your fitness level/ability to perform - provided you do it for a short period of time.
A better schedule is to run 4x a week, and then cross-train on the fifth day and add in other exercises as well, like say you run 2 miles, hit the track for intervals and then lift.
Or run 2 miles, swim for 30 minutes, etc.
Effective Training 4-5x a week, once a day, will trump training twice a day every day with ease, particularly in the area of performance.
College & High School track teams are full of athletes who overtrain and either hurt themselves or their ability to perform.
