What's your resting heart rate?

I've been in the high 30s and currently am in mid 40s.  I have a pretty big heart (checked by a stress test), so it's no surprise I have a low RHR.  For reference, my running max is around 160 (finishing a 5k).

My wife is also in good physical condition but has a RHR in the 70s and can peg into the 180s still at 45 YO.

Now that I have a FitBit, I know this - 55 on average.  Usually upper 40s when I am just waking up if I think to look. 

Originally posted by Porfirio Been reading that 60-100 is "normal". I'm in the 40's and 50's (38 lowest I've noticed)... surprised since it's the off season. Curious where I stand w/other "not normal" folk.

You are actually completely normal for someone who is in good shape.  My wife doesn't do endurance sports at all.....but has exercised for 30-45 minutes each day for 25 years......misses only a few days per month, and NO swim, bike, or run......just walking or using an Airdyne for cardio......she is consistently 37-40 HR when she wakes up.  She's not  "not normal"........she's what would be expected with that background. 

45 - 50 on rising, depending.  50 YO

45 - 50 on rising, depending.  50 YO

My lowest has also been 38, but typically its mid 40-50's. 

I have also spiked it as high as 198 in a full sprint. My average heart rates during running has always been rather high, 170ish, on the bike, 150-160 avg. Age 46.

I asked my doctor about such a high heart rate numbers and he asked a series of questions in regards to any ill effects, which I had none and he said carry on and be happy, you got a strong heart. Ok I said, although it still kinda bugs at me.

My Fitbit  has logs me as low as 46 and as high as 50.  When I was in a car accident a year and a half ago they nurses in the ER were second guessing them self.  When they took my heart rate and it came up at something in the 40's they asked me if I always had a low heart rate.  I assured them that 40's was normal for me and they were relieved. They weren't sure what was going on with me then they first saw the readings. For reference I get up to 171 BPM at the end of a hard 5K (but no an easy one.  I was only at 162 at the end of my last 5K.  It was fairly flat and cool weather.)
