So I've measured my resting heart rate over the last few evenings and have come up with a figure of 44. How does everyone else do?

I average 45 but if I cycle every day (36 miles) ti seems to rest at a bit higher until I take a rest day. By Sunday night I'm down to 43/44 as long as I feel 100%.0

Low 40s normally.
Was pootling home last night (I know, the shame...), and looked down at some traffic lights to see that my HR was 68. Serious call to MTFU!Pannier, 120rpm.0 -
never really pay attention to that.. just checked it now and it's about 60ish I finished cycling 80-90 mins ago...Purveyor of sonic doom

I had to go to the hospital a few years ago for a football injury and a nurse took my heart rate and blood pressure with the machine they use.
I can't remember what my BP was, but my HR was 38. She was surprised so took it again with the machine then again manually.
She asked me if I was an athlete.

Can get it down to the high 40s at a push, but that's last thing at night after listening to my Biosphere album. Daytime resting is around 55-60. Maximum HR recorded so far is low 190s, but I think I might make 200 at a push.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

We should also have a 'what is your heart rate right now' thread!
63 for me but just had a poo which could have raised it a bit!0 -
Don't really measure my heart rate that regularly. I got the "are you an athlete" comment from a nurse a few months ago but heart rate was only in the mid 50s I think. Proper "resting" it might be a bit lower. Max heart rate I have recorded was around 220 BPM, racing a mountain bike up hill at high altitude in Bolivia - my head felt like it was about to pop! Usually I top out at under 180 BPM, I think, but I generally don't bother with a HRM.0

Heh. I had that in June. Woke up in the middle of the night with chest pains so, as a *cough* middle aged man in lycra, I phoned NHS direct, who put me on to the ambulance service. They arrived and took my heart rate and asked me if I was an athlete as I had a resting heart rate of 39. This was in the height of my Marmotte training; it's doubtless gone up now.0 -

No doubt some scientist will come along in a minute and tell me I will be dead in a few years :roll:
On your bike more, hun. That'll sort it.
Mine was once around 40. Not sure what it is these days.0 -
Mines mid 50s proper resting but around 60 more realistically.
Then again, its not a great indicator of fitness, I'll make a mockery of my mates with lower resting hear rates on a bike, although they'll do the same to me off the bike, meh0 -
Mine's zero at rest, but then when at rest I tend to be back in my special box in a layer of soil, working on my dislike of sunlight & garlic.0

i dont know mine but i can garentee it is a lot higher than 70. Im fat and unfit you see0

42@ 42; I've also had comments regarding this in the past whilst in hospital and been asked whether I cycle.0

Mine tends to hovver around the mid 40's and I've just turned 40.
It's not always an indication of fitness and can sometimes be genetic. A friend of mine hovvers around the late 30's and he's not even that fit.0 -

Mine resting first thing in the morning is low 90s an low 100s during the day, I'm neither over weight or unfit, in my defence my recovery rate is very fast.
I stopped using a HR monitor quite a while ago as I began obsessing about zone training which spoilt the ride.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

About 45bpm, almost 42 years old. I'm a good couple of stone overweight, which doesn't help.0
