45 yo, resting rate according to apple watch is 43.
Currently sat at my desk after an hours walk, it's at 50 ish.
It will occasionally go below 35, when an alarm sounds (just for fun). Don't wear it whilst asleep but I might tonight for kicks.
I can’t wave that appendage no more.
Since each individual is entirely different, it never really was.
For example, Tyke above is nearly 20 years old than me and his max is far higher than mine.
My recent joining of Crickles has only served to highlight this further.
Am 41, am 'fit' by the standards of the people in my office (i commute 8 miles a day by bike) but not what people on a cycling forum would probably consider 'fit'. Pre covid and with commute it was around 60. 9 months post-covid it's 74.
No idea on my true resting heart rate, can't remember the last time if ever I checked just after waking up while still lying down, while I'm known to drink multi-heaped teaspoon coffees for fun (especially in winter months and generally post-Covid)...
But I've seen 47 this year.
Resting HR is directly related to cardiac volume. People who exercise gradually increase their cardiac output as they get fitter which means they don't need to pump as frequently to get the same volume of blood and therefore oxygen to cells. Mine is always around 45. It's affected by stress and nervous system dysfunction too however.
My VO2 max* dropped to 36 earlier in the year when I suspect I had Covid.
*as reported by my Garmin.
Haven’t done enough yet for mine to properly recompute post COVID. Have a feeling it has certainly dropped from the pre COVID 43. It currently says 42 but yet to get on the bike - think that’s optimistic.
47bpm roughly calculated using a stopwatch, did it for 30seconds and doubled it.
Just had a cup of coffee, 51yrs old.
I sometimes get 32 lying in bed in the morning, it's 40 right now mid-afternoon. I regard myself as pretty fit but I'm certainly no Indurain. Runs in my family to some extent. Wikipedia vaguely mentions the possibility of various issues but apart from very occasional and short-lived postural hypotension it causes no other problems. Seems about as important a determinant of fitness as shoe size is.
I'm 60 and when I wake up its usually about 43
50-55 at the moment, and that’s being a smoker and currently Covid positive. Although it does spike to 110-140 at the moment just walking around, but goes back down within a few minutes. Oh and I’m 35 with Hypertension also.
Resting is about 44, which I like to say is because I’m fit but in reality, my resting HR has always been <50, even in my early 20s when I did no exercise and was much less fit than I am now.
I won’t swoon unless someone on here has a resting HR <36. And then I’ll be impressed / concerned.
Very low 30s here. But rising as I age. It's not fitness (I'm just average), but hereditary (my mother is the same and has caused alarms to go off when she goes into hospital).
It would be more relevant if folk put their age as well.
53yr old and rhr is 57 ish. No cycling for a week or so see's it at 60.
My heart rate dropped when I gave up meat just over a year ago. What the connection is I know not, but it dropped.
65 years old and according to my watch its 81.
Just started my 5th session of chemo if that makes any difference
It would be more relevant if folk put their age as well.
Age 62. RHR 55-ish, dropping to 51-ish when sleeping.
49 yo.
RHR 43
Sleeping HR 37-40
Good luck with that bear-uk.
Mine is around 65, never been much lower (managed some top 20 'Polaris' placings many years ago). Still fairly fit 54 yr but 4 cardioversions and 1 catheter ablation (seems to have sorted my AF) since 2002 may have taken their toll.
My new Christmas present Garmin tells me 49.
Age: 58.
Average over the last 3 months, taken 3 times a week at the same time: 46. (I'm part of a covid study)
Down below 40 when asleep (tripped out the heart monitor when I had a stay in hospital a couple of years ago.)
HRM needs a battery but I think 50s, was 40s when I was fit, gets higher with booze.
Big Migs blood was like treacle I bet!
Best of luck bear.
It does make a difference, a big one. Chemo wipes out blood cells - white, red and platelets. Low red blood count means the blood doesn't have the capacity to carry as much oxygen. Means that your body ( and heart) is having to work massively harder just to get by. But it will get better.
Take it easy buddy, best wishes.
I'm 43 and my Garmin tells me it's low 50's when I'm being good, exercising and keeping off the grog, high 50's when I'm not.
49
Xiaomi band says HR=65bpm resting..well sat drinking beer in the kitchen waiting for dinner to cook
Am I going to die soon?
Mine's always been about 70, even in my 20's doing alpine climbing and 30s doing competitive canoeing. Still the same at 65 years.
I’m 68. My resting rate varies between 50 and 60 with main variable being beer. Two week of no beers and on waking I’m in the high 40s.
Always had a high heart rate as soon as I exercise. This was 8 years ago when I got my first Garmin and had only just started cycling.
Now I start to really feel it thumping when I get over 185.
46ish, moderately fit, no known health conditions bar mildly borderline hbp. Mine is 41 and has been for a long time
Im 46 Normally mid 30s until I got covid, cardiologist said it was fine even though when I was getting monitored it misses beats out at night and my BP is very low
It jumped up into the 80s 10 days before I got covid in April,well 10 days before I had symptoms doc said I will have had it when the hr went up and it will have been my body fighting it, and has only now dropped back to the 50s I think that's fitness now rather than illness, although I don't get the dizzy spells I used to always get when I stood up so thats good lol
Age 37
Garmin watch says 61 but sitting down it reads in the high 60s. Never been any lower even when swimming and rowing in my 20s. Max is 194
Wore my hrm last night to check what mine was. Average 44 but rather than being flat there were tons of spikes in it for about a minute each. Most up to around 60, but one up to 75.
I'm assuming spiking heart rate at night is down to dreaming, movement etc and is reasonably normal?

Snapshot of 4 hr sleep graph. As you can see loads of spikes, a few up to 75bpm, what causes them, and is that normal?
