Do people include commuting miles, a.k.a junk miles in their training calculations?
34 hours to be exact. It was the last ride in a brevet series I did this year: 200, 300, 400 and then 600k. I actually did 3 200ks and 2 300ks as well as a hard double century and the 400k leading up to this ride. I don't ride outdoors during the week at all - I rely on high intensity computrainer interval training at a training center I belong to. My long rides are on the weekend. And they are long.

And I wouldn't say commute miles are junk at all. They're a mainstay of my husband's training schedule.
