You know the Running Stitch, whip it and you get Whipped Running Stitch, whip it one more time (with the needle going in the opposite direction) and you get today's stitch: Double Whipped Running Stitch.
I found it in A-Z of Embroidery Stitches 2 where it is called Whipped Double Running Stitch. I changed the name as the Whipping is double, not the Running Stitch.
Work it like this:
Homework: Decorate these three samplers.

Oh, I have never done double whipped. It looks great!
That would make a really interesting subtle cable with three close tones, or something much more vibrant with clashing ones. All sorts of colour fun!
It looks like it would be more difficult to create. Nice directions!
Simple but so effective. I will have to try different thicknesses of threads and colours.
Another pretty stitch to use with special threads!
It looks like runner wearing uniforms of various colors are running. The third runner should be an obstacle course runner.
