If you are doing practice or training rides, focus on multiple back to back days of riding rather than extra long rides. On a longer tour recovery each day is more important than any single day of distance.
Learn a morning and evening routine for setting up and breaking camp. Especially if you are stealth camping you want to avoid lingering with a tent set up. Leaving the shelter up, cooking a hot breakfast, not changing from sleep to day clothes, all are comfy but not necessarily conductive if you are looking to cover distance. If you are not deliberately baking in time to chill in the morning, try to get moving quickly. My tips are:
Keep day clothes available. If it's cold keep them in the sleeping bag to dry with body heat and so they are already warm as soon as you wake up.
If using an air pad deflate it as soon as you are up. If a foam pad roll or fold it. Prevent yourself from lying back down in the bag.
Eat a cold breakfast. As soon as you sit down to eat your are extending your camp time a lot. The most I will do in the morning is make a hot tea or coffee, and ideally will do that only after the bags are mostly packed.
If you are dealing with rain a lot I very much prefer tarps or tent that pitches fly first. I also prefer storing shelter by itself on the bike or pack. This way you are not digging it out when you arrive in camp or struggling to pack other things in the morning. Have it so you can put everything else into it's bag with the shelter last, so as to minimize your time in weather if necessary.
