English term or phrase: two-a-day
... two-a-day practices or competitions and/or other multiday tournaments, both of which are associated
with large sweat losses.

Sendo dois treinos ou competições por dia, gostaria de saber se existe um nome específico para isso.

Reference: Bidiário

Reference information:
Bidiário

[Pergunta] A palavra bidiário existe? Se sim, o quer dizer? Quer dizer duas vezes por dia ou de dois em dois dias?

[Resposta] A palavra bidiário não se encontra atestada, pelo menos, em três dicionários, o Houaiss, o da Academia e o de José Pedro Machado. No entanto, os mesmos dicionários registam a palavra bissemanal, adje(c)tivo que se refere a alguma coisa «que se faz, se efetua ou aparece duas vezes por semana» (Dicionário Houaiss). Deste modo, não vejo porque não se pode usar bidiário para designar «algo que aparece duas vezes por dia».
