Excellent news on the work front. With regard to heart rate, yes the slightly slower rate means better fitness. Olympic athletes could have a heart rate of around 40 bpm. The average heart rate for normal people is 70-75 bpm. So yours has never really been in a danger zone. 60 is excellent to be fair. Your target unless you have a specific fitness goal should be around 50-85% of your maximum heart rate which is 170bpm to 160. for someone your age ie between 50 and 60. Sustaining a heart rate during exercise for short time is best for fitness building. But then the level of fitness improvement can also be measured by how long it takes to fall from the increased rate back to your normal rate. So on the whole I’d say you’re in relatively good shape. Especially after losing 10lbs and having a HR of 60ish.
Surely in Ep. 99g Rich should follow up his fantastic Book Club on Andrew Lownie's book 'Entitled' with an exclusive interview with 'No Sweat' Andy to get his reaction to the accusations? Could become as infamous as the Newsnight one!
Nothing much to do?? Get in that annex and do a Twitch of Fun. NOW!! (pretty please)
I meant paid work! Trying to get some writing done, but have been hoping to find the time! And what about stone clearing!

That’s my professional opinion anyway 👍
The Spanish cyclist Miguel Indurain had a resting pulse of 28bpm at the peak of his powers
28 years old he was

True. Ep 100 will never actually happen.
Very cynical attitude
Realistic. But Ep 99g will do.
Since you've started the competition, my Resting heart rate is currently 49 - and I struggle to jog for more than 2 minutes.
Just check you’re still alive
He’s not wrong.Bradycardia unless it’s medication induced is certainly something to get checked out. No wish to alarm you but better safe than sorry.
It's been an average between 49 and 52 over the past 5 years. Get annual health checks from the doctors
