I perhaps didn't explain that part too well. This is exactly what he said to me:
You need to go out for 3-4 hours without eating breakfast, then start eating carbs the moment you go light headed. This will improve as your body adapts to using your fat stores for fuel. This is the key adaptation you need to make. Keep to 70% of max heart rate. Of all your training this is the most important.
I think though that it's important to do a few longer rides just so I knew that I was capable of going for longer although physically it wouldn't help too much.
