I've always been a runner, so this is a new thing for me because this never happens in running.
I'm building myself up for a century and am time constrained on weekends as I have a 1 and 3 year old at home which makes getting out for a 4-5 hour on weekends tough sometimes. I live about 20 miles from work and have thought about doing some longer weekday riding where I ride on my trainer for a bit, then stop to help my wife get the kids out of bed and ready, then get on my bike and ride to work.
How "bad" for my training stimulus would it be to ride 60-90 minutes on the trainer and then take a 30 minute break and then finish with a 60-120 minute ride to work? This is on "just ride" type days.
