Does what work? What are you trying to achieve?

Training during the week to build up fitness/strength. Long ride at the weekends to build stamina.

@skinny

Just wondering it an extended commute each side of work can be used to train effectively or not.

100% it can.

Especially if you need to build a higher CTL, as you do.

It absolutely can. As @skinny says, especially in terms of building CTL. Adding an hour of upper z2/lower z3 each day will do good things for general fitness, without taking too much out of your legs.
