Q&A #33 - Incorporating bike or run commutes to work in training, and distinguishing between good and bad lower heart rate

Q&A #33 - Incorporating bike or run commutes to work in training, and distinguishing between good and bad lower heart rate

• How should you effectively incorporate bike or run commutes into your training to get training benefits without compromising quality in other key workouts? 
• How does this change if you do both a regular workout and the morning bike/run commute?
• How should you think about nutrition around training in the morning and commuting to work?
• How do you distinguish between a reduction in exercise heart rate due to getting fitter versus being in a state of non-functional over-reaching?
