Im wondering whether going further uphill rides during the week will do any damage to my legs/knees, and if so, what is the required strategy?

Thank you
I would swap the rides, 2 uphill and 1 flat and see how it goes. I mean, you are only riding 180 miles a week on a comfort bike, how tough can it be?
