It's not about losing the commuter miles, it's about adding a load of running miles.
If I run, and I still do now and then very rarely, it takes me a week before I'm able to walk properly again. Obviously if I kept it up this would improve but the sheer amount of damage I do means my cycle training wouldn't happen or would be so reduced as to be pointless.
I've no way of knowing, so I'll make a blind guess that Hippy does more cycling than his commute- structured training on the turbo and on the road would be my assumption, in addition.
The question is whether the performance hit from removing cycling commute miles would be offset to a greater or lesser degree by running the commute miles.
Only one way of finding that out, I submit.
