Training and commuting: compatible?
Just started a training plan and have a question.
My plan includes;
1 day of 6-8 short Z5 intervals
1 day of 2 long Z4 intervals
1 day of 2hrs Z3/tempo
1 day of 4 hrs Z2 with 10 mins Z4 every hour
The remaining 3 days are 1/2-1hr Z1 recovery.
I'm an avid rider since 20yrs ago, have trained before and have a good base.
My question is, I commute about 45mins each way 5 days per week. If I ride slowly, always in Z1, would it interfere with my training plan?
