Commuting+Training?
Okay, I think I am going to be moving closer to work. This should help me out a lot with the amount I spend on gas and all. Then I got to thining.... I could just take my bike to work. I used google maps and found out that one way it is 17 miles, that's 34 miles round trip every day. This is my question though, I am training and racing so is this a crazy amount to be commuting? I work 5 days a week usually and I am thinking I may be able to incorporate my training into my commutes. Anybody else have any thoughts on this, or if you are in the same situation, how do you do it?
It would be really awesome if I could do this but I don't want to overtrain or burn out from commuting, that would be a stupid mistake I would rather not make. Thanks!
BTW I know I could put this into the Commuting section but I wanted opinions on how to incorporate training with all this extra riding. I also searched for a while and could not find any threads that were like this.
