I bet you £100 that I'd also be a slower cyclist afterwards.
I'd take that - I reckon the aerobic and weight gains you'd make doing a much higher intensity aerobic exercise during your commute would be good for you overall, as long as you could avoid injury.
Dammit-
You seem to be forgetting that I used to run and cycle (and swim). I already know it hampers my cycling, which is why, in this country, I've only ever run when I didn't have a bike.
I reckon the use of non-cycling muscles and huge amount of extra recovery needed from running to/from work, even a day a week would totally fuck my race season. I'd need a couple of years to be able to run the ~24k/day and even after adapting my cycling would be disadvantaged.
