If you're looking for help with the leg imbalance (assuming there is one) then try
Powercranks - https://www.powercranks.com/v4pages/videos-list.htm
If you're merely looking to increase your riding distance then try slowly increasing your commute distance. Also, have a look at both the training and commuting forums here for more, better advice.
