All about intensity; you'd get more out of a mix of low/med/hi/max work with one day off the bike to rest than grinding 7 days a week constantly at a medium pace.
There's loads of stuff on training with heart rate that breaks it down but think of it as a pyramid; big base of low intensity tapering to very small amounts of very hard work.
I'm doing 150-170miles a week and I feel alot better than when I was just doing 100m and trying to bang it as fast as I could everywhere.
