That's plenty,if you are doing it in around an hour on the bike.You might vary it a couple of days with a spot of bushing instead.I did that amount of roadwork ,plus an hour a day free running ,but that was for competition running,for everyday work 6 miles is more than enough ,you can leave a dogs fitness on the road. If you are running a dog on the road ,keep an eye on its pads , you can wear them thin,surgical spirit will help harden them.Dogs that were coursing twice a week needed rest in between,once the fitness had been attained.
