    Not taken it for about 2 years, it use to be about 50. Then about 68 now I have no idea, could go and stick myself on the ECG if I could be arsed.

    When I had my knee OP, Id been doing a lot of low impact cardio stuff (swimming mainly) and when I came round from the drugs I could concentrate on my breething and make the ECG machine do the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppppppppp and scare the nurses :-p

    Is that because of your rowing background?

    About 45 last time I checked, though probably nearer 42 now (which is about what I get down to when I'm really fit). Once saw 38. No idea about my max – something pathetically low probably, but I'm too much of a wuss to actually push myself that hard normally.

    KT – it's because I'm a liar 😉

    Resting heart rate means nothing – my resting HR (52) is the same now that I'm really quite unfit as it was 10 years ago when I was really very fit…

    I'd agree to some extent – mine was still under 50 when I was really unfit (though my unfit isn't necessarily the same as anybody else's). I am seeing a bit of variation with fitness though.

    48 isn't recovery time is a better measurement of your fitness

    Altough min will have some effect, I do belive that the ability of your heart to give you blood when you need it and stop supplying it when you don't is a good measure of fitness and quite useful too.

    About 72-76
    Between 125 – 165 on the road, about 180 max.
    Never worn a HRM during a road race.
    Probably went off the board during a Hill climb TT as I nearly lost control of whizz way.

    Though strangely during hospital tests earlier this year the most they could get out of me on the treadmill was 96.

    During 1985 I reached my lowest recorded resting of 68, that was when you had to have a full on medical to compete in a full Ironman

    50 @ 56yrs old earlier in the year during ecg test, doc was getting worried 🙄
    we used to have a little test machine at the squash club which you held a finger on till your pulse settled to give a fitness level test.ie recovery time from flat out till resting.

    Resting 42
    204 Max
    Tested with ECG 24hr and ramp tests last year but my HRM has read 214 but that was the extra beats I sometimes get due to an irregular heart beat.
