Blind leading the blind advice:
I've got a similar daily commute (16 miles each way) and found that the key for me is taking it super easy when you're not doing intervals, otherwise it's easy to build up a lot of fatigue without really putting any significant training stress on your body. Instead of looking at it as two workouts a day, I try and get 3 quality sessions a week and the rest of the miles are borderline recovery pace.edit: I also use the morning as a fasted ride, mainly because otherwise I end up having two breakfasts but its meant to have a fuelling benefit too.

anyone got any advice for a newbie prommuter? I've moved so now have to commute for 2hrs- 2 1/2hrs per day.
I get the train a couple of times a week to break it up and have rest days but still find myself quite tired and unable to make any decent efforts and tend to just do z2 rides.
What's the science behind doing two workouts on the same day? Do I just need to give it a few more weeks to get used to it?
My training log is below - somedays I crash at my parents or get the train home. I should probably have more rest days but cycling saves nearly a tenner a day..
