This of course assumes I can get enough time to ride. During weeks where I have more limited time I am thinking harder intervals and perhaps some running. Thoughts?
Depends on your job, morning schedule, lunch schedule, work place dress code, personal stinkability factor but I kept an mtb and a road bike at work for years, doing a short blitzkreig to work, another 15-20 min to get chicken, lunch, whatever. Then a long lunch road ride, hour ten or so.
Studies have shown, and I've verified, a couple few short hard efforts a day will kick-start your metabolism. I could eat like a horse and couldn't keep the weight on without piling on mega-miles.
