Not really. If you want to do some endurance riding you'll need to do some endurance reading.
Start with shorter rides and build up. Audax is great for this. 200km, 300km, 400km, 600km, and then one of the flagship rides.
If you want a book then Simon Doughty's book is good:-

(Buying the book will also help support the author who needs round the clock care after being hit by a drunk driver 8 years ago.)
