If you can do this at zone 1. It'll be awesome in the long run.
Most MAMILs like myself cant find the time to do massive amounts of Z1. So mix up various interval based rides, With the occasional z1 recovery ride.
Personally I'd cut back on the training while you're adjusting, and try to stick to Z1 when commuting. As the body adapts add back in the more of the training focused stuff.
As With anything I type on this forum. This isnt based on any expert knowledge. So YMMV.

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..
