Ok, misleading title. Here's a crazy idea though:
Run 1 hour per day.
Bike 2 hours per day.
For a sub-elite, that's about 100 mpw running and another 300 miles per week biking. Surely the aerobic development would help above and beyond just running 100 mpw.
Unless you're planning on running 4:12 pace for all your runs, you won't get to 100 mpw on 1 hour of running per day
whups, you're right. So you've run for 1.5 hours per day and bike for 2.
30 mph on the bike too
No, just 21.4 mph.
When I was training "seriously" for long-distance triathlons (many years ago), I would often run ~8-10 hours per week, cycle 15-20 hours per week, and swim 2-4 hours per week. That was the fittest I've ever been, but if my goal was to run fast, I wouldn't cycle nearly as much. FWIW, I did feel that the cycling did make me a strong uphill runner.

21.4mph is no cakewalk for that much riding.
