That early morning commute may be just a commute or a specific workout with a pretense of a commute. So it depends what the objective is. Warmups are part of an athlete's workout as well as warmdowns...always. But don't ask Bela Karoli.
Did Ventoux last year. From go you start climbing- No warm up except take it gentle at first. Took 3 miles and the rhythm came in. My objective was to climb it so no need for speed- but at one point I tried to change that Rhythm by tagging onto another rider that was just a bit faster. It did not work and I had to get back to my pace. I did the 21kms to the top- The other rider was only going to the cafe about 2/3rds up.
