just intrigued that you mentioned that 140 is a tough ride. I did 180 last weekend over 2 1/2hrs which was certainly a tough ride! It was one of the toughest rides id done in a while but had a day off and an easy ride the day before that.
Before commuting I was used to going for a hard ride, rest day, hard ride, repeat.. rather than riding everyday.
Im going to increase my hours, lower the intensity on rest days and see if I can commute every day without being a wreck by the weekend.

140tss is a fair ride, it's not hard but in the middle, but it's definitely not easy. You should recover by the next day, but it's not easy.
200tss is hard and you can recovery full the next day.180 in 2h30 is 70tss pet hour, so no doubt, that's pretty tough riding.
If you have a big ctl then you can handle more daily stress. At a ctl of 60 you can't handle much. Ctl shows a few things,but typically the bigger your ctl the faster you can recover. And thus the harder you can train.

It's not that interesting, as jusy a picture. It's the trees in the forest that are interesting. Not the forest.
It's all personally relevant.
Why makes you interested? I might be able to expand in writing on the points your interested in?
