How much is to much ??

[brand]

Hi everyone,
I'm getting missed reviews on how much to do,
I've been riding to and from work every day minimum 5.8 miles each way a little hilly. Some times on the return going out to 17 miles.
Then at the weekend doing 20-40 miles I only started to ride December on a road bike. Just lately I've been feeling soooooooo tired! I've recently read somewhere to do a couple of rides in the week then at the weekend do a bigger ride? I only had a kidney transplant this time last year! Thanks in advance for any help.

Firstly well done for deciding to get fit again a lot of people in your situation would have given up fitness for the rest of their lives. AND therefore shortening there lives by a significant amount.
Take a break at least once a week, obviously the weekend non work ride is the one to drop. There are alternatives like slowing the rides down but taking a day off or even two is the best and quickest aid to recovery

Why?

Ok I've seen it. You can troll away.

Instead of a complete week off, just have an easy week, you'll be amazed at the difference of having an average speed 1 or 2 mph below your normal average.

Just done a Wikipedia search. Didn't read it in full so help me with the following was it an acquired illness bacteria infection etc or something you were going to get sooner or later ie genetic?

Acquired could have been an infection earlier in life there is no answer just a random thing, being 25 when I was diagnosed I didn't really believe it until I climbed up onto the operating table last year!!!
