The Resting Heart Rate Thread

if you feel like posting your RHR once in a while, post it here as well.

measured mine at 44 today using my garmin.

http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg134310/#msg134310

my lowest accurately measured HR was 42 (when I boxed, ~2007) with one of those oxygen/HR monitors you put on your finger. Would like to get into the upper 30's.

[adarqui]

45 BPM avg over 32 minutes, lowest of 40. word, got to see that sub 40 avg without needing a pace maker later on in life.

According to my new watch, 61 BPM is my avg resting HR while standing, mid 50s while sitting.

nice!!!!!!!!

data watch club.

Took a 15 min reading while sitting up in bed reading this morn. Average HR of 50.

The other day: It is a bit high blood pressure and "pre hypertension" 



Both my grandparents had heart issues, one of em is dead from heart related issues at the age of 79 and the other right now is in such bad health at almost 90 yrs old..... sad....

90 is a pretty fine old age, not many are without heart issues at that age. You're blood pressure isn't bad at all either really...especially if you were caffeined up haha.

[adarqui]

got some 39's in the data!!



46 avg over 22 minutes.

it's funny, a month or so ago, the "lowest" I got was 48's..

  twins! I had some 38/39s while lying in bed this morning. Still very rarely get under 50 any time after getting out of bed.

haha nice!!

interesting though .. so, if you get up and move around for a while, then go and sit down/relax, it's just consistently more elevated? I imagine it'll improve. My HR seems to drop back down if I sit down/relax. The only times i've measured RHR in bed, were manually but I never get a full reading, pulse does feel very low upon waking up. Though sometimes it's actually elevated. I've woken up, after more than enough sleep, with my pulse pretty high; almost as if my body is trying to get me to wakeup already.

Sounds like the beauty of having wrist based HR measurement. I have to go put on my chest strap lmfao.

Imagine walking around low 40's probably feel ridiculously heathy.. lol.

peace!

something I wrote to someone (cyclist) today:

12:53 <@irma> some research warns against 30's RHR ... but, I wonder if there's a difference in how it's achieved.. ie, achieving it by being very lean & light, with low/moderate cardio, versus: TONS AND TONS AND TONS OF CARDIO
12:54 <@irma> the former seems safer ... your heart just doesn't have to work as hard, not as much mass/tissue to pump blood to
12:54 <@irma> the latter is an adaptation to very high levels of cardiovascular work
12:56 <@irma> i mean you hear stories of some people requiring pace makers later on in life.. like alberto salazar
12:56 <@irma> but, i wonder if that's also partly due to drug use in addition to tons of mileage
12:57 <@irma> i don't want to need a pace maker later on in life, that's for sure

I just don't think I ever get as relaxed as when I'm lying down in bed in the morning. Now that I think about it I do get mid 40s sometimes when sitting and reading at a desk for a while, though.

[adarqui]

damn.. caffeine in me, food in me, taken at 4:30 PM, had to poop for the second half of the test, replying to forum posts, etc..

20 minutes:
- average = 40
- low = 35





just letting the mileage "sculpt" me.

walking, resting HR:



very happy with that..

From strava:

rest day walking heart rate experiment ruined due to thunderstorm: analyzing how walking pace changes over time, while maintaining ~79 BPM heart rate: avg = 77:

Wanted to do 8 miles, got cut short after 3. Surprised how low my HR is at 16:XX min/mi walking pace, that's a good sign I guess. I remember several months ago at 16:XX it was > 100. Apparently I burned *16* calories on my second mile, lmao.

[Joe]

Bump.

Morning resting HR of 48 today
