    More of a win than a wtf

    'running bots' covers quite a lot. Not sure algo trading is for punters, and you can set buy and sell order limits if you're just wanting to wait for a particular price

    And we've always understood that loft conversions cost about £30k

    Begins around double that now unfortunately, at least in London’s famous…
    Your architect’s estimate seems very much in the ballpark

    nope, still lower. though there's a floor fan in front of the turbo so probably more of a breeze than outdoors

    I've never been able to get my HR on the bike up to running. When I started running then tended to reach ~175bpm running and maybe 170 on the bike
    I'm a better runner now (and probably a worse cyclist) and still have a higher HR running. If anything, the running has just brought the cycling HR down a bit further

    Is 160bpm too high

    don't compare to other people, it wont give you any useful info

    there'll be people running slower than you for lower HR
    there'll be people running slower than you for higher HR
    there'll be people running faster than you for lower HR
    there'll be people running faster than you for higher HR

    that said, if you were doing race efforts and not going over 130bpm, or not dropping below 200bpm then I'd suspect either a dodgy HRM or something to get checked out, but 160ish for some effort is entirely within the realms of normal. keep going with the zone 2/3 and see if you're running faster for same HR or same pace for lower HR in a month or so

    So much is actually in your head

    slight crossover with run chat - decided to get a coach for marathon training in part so that I stop overthinking sessions and just let someone tell me what to do / when to stop / paces to hit
