I was speaking to someone recently about this and I seem to recall Lance Armstrongs resting HR was about 30bpm and he had a maximum of about 200bpmSteve said:How low was Lance Armstrong's resting heart rate? Something ridiculous I seem to recall.
Conventionally, resting heart rate is taken on waking in the morning (provided you haven't been shocked out of slumber by a 100 decibel alarm going off next to your ear!).richardsimkiss said:is it literally the lowest you see your HR go at anytime? ... annoyingly I seem to get excited when I see it dropping and change my breathing which brings it back up again! lol.
Seems a little strange they'd call it 'resting' HR then :huh: I was always under the impression it was as relaxed as you could be (typically in the morning), I'd dread to think what mine would be on a morning walkpedestrian said:Conventionally, resting heart rate is taken on waking in the morning
I have the same problem! I go: "Wow, it's low, great, great!!!!!" and then it shoots up from 50bpm to around 60bpm :drichardsimkiss said:annoyingly I seem to get excited when I see it dropping and change my breathing which brings it back up again! lol.
