Of course you can train and fast at the same time.
I eat between 0430 and 1230 (8 hrs) fast between (16 hrs).... train usually around 9 in between meals.
Ill some times smash out a 5/10 k fasted before i start work at midnight.
It’s not sustainable in the long term though, you need balance.

I'll stick to the pub thanks.
I'd second getting a turbo trainer as you can plug an actual bike into it, which has to be better than the kind you get in the gym. There are also a growing number of platforms (Zwift, Road Grand Tours, Rouvy etc.) that give you something visually stimulating to help with motivation.
You need sleep too, which I'd have thought would be the biggest problem given that schedule. Maybe it's something you can sustain when you're young, but as you age you've got to treat yourself a bit better than that.
Haha, you’re older than me mate, I can only remember Alf Tupper from the Victor. Alf would inevitably get an elbow in the ribs from the posh git and fall back to last place , then the fish and chips would kick in around the final bend and allow him to overtake them all , finishing with his classic cry “ Ive run em! I’ve run em!”. Happy days !

Exercise bikes are a bit mince in general - you'd have to spend a lot of money before you got something decent like a watt bike. Even then, home exercise machines must end up as junk in the vast majority of cases? Perhaps if you're re-habbing an injury and there's no alternative it might see use. I race bikes and I don't put that many hours into my turbo and it's a sport I love.
Was going well with the cyclocross racing, got around 8 under my belt, but had a bit of recent trouble with a tight chest - feeling a mild ache over the heart. Not exactly what you want - could be 100 things but I'm having an exercise ECG in a couple of weeks to see if it's cardiac-related. Anyone else had exercise-related problems with the chest, and was it the ticker?
It's a tough one isn't it? From what I remember, you're based in the Lakes so have some pretty amazing roads in your neck of the woods. Being London based, and I seem to recall @bicycleheader being Barcelona based, it's a bit harder to find decent rides, so a turbo offers good bang for your buck in terms of time. In the time it would take me to get out of London I can have done a reasonable workout in the living room, minus the car fumes and angry drivers. It is something you need to work on mentally though, which I think is why stuff like Zwift have proved popular as the social aspect can help with motivation.

I'm Manchester area so there is good road riding that is easily accessible, but I'm more likely to do stuff off-road - I think if I lived in London I'd basically sell my mountain bikes and take up zwift full time. I don't use it atm, but my current turbo is on its last legs so will prob get a smart one after Christmas and might dip my toe in [wahoo stuff not cheap mind].
Stimulation on the turbo is a huge challenge - you can do an interval session that feels like life and death, but can go way harder in a race and it feels easy. Massive stimulation of the race versus pedalling your bike in the attic after a day at work staring at a graph.

Started using the couch to 5k app to do 3 runs a week, never been great at running but have really enjoyed it so far and found the steady increase fairly easy. Also boxing twice a week and have probably unwisely signed up for a white collar boxing event so I have a fight in March, got a newfound respect for level of fitness boxers have.
Aye, some of the racing on Zwift can be great to push you harder than you'd ordinarily go. The nature of the courses however favour those who have a high 1min max as most are fairly flat but with the odd hill in them. For some reason, the hillier routes have fewer races on them, but it can be fun nonetheless.

When I played football I used to get heart palpitations during a game. Maybe half-a-dozen games a season. Always played on and never bothered going to the doctor. I now get atrial fibrilation several time a year when my heart goes at 230 beats a minute. Lasts for 12 hours. Am on medication for that. The specialist told me, after extensive tests, my heart is OK for another 30 years, (I was 79 when he told me that!) He wouldn't give it to me in writing though!lol

A sustained 230bpm at rest must feel like the sky is falling in - my max is 182 (in my 40s) and I need to turn myself inside out to get there.
I race with a HR monitor and I actually never have palpitations, plus low blood pressure, so I'm hoping it's something else - we shall see.
