Poll - What is your resting heart rate?

After Coach P said in another thread has a resting Heart rate of 30BPM I got curious as to what other people in haus have as resting heart rates.

    30? That is barely alive!

    I voted. Dear God I hope nobody is over 100 bpm!

    Guy I work with is consistently over 100 sitting at his desk doing nothing. I have a Nonin pulse oximeter I break out for fun every once in a while.

     Mine definitely changes depending on the workouts the previous day, tues and friday being the lowest resting rates during OS season. I've been thinking of letting my HR log all night just to see what it does while I'm asleep. Any bets on how low it goes during deep sleep?

     correction what coach P said was that his RP was 38 NOT 30

    Are you guys defining resting heart rate as the rate first thing in the am or during the course of the day. My resting heart rate first thing in the am is 42.
    Not bad for a guy who one year ago was hypertensive

     yes before you move out of bed and mine is 40

    I used to track my AM HR regularly when I was a run only athlete and found that I had a great deal of unexplainable variations. Maybe it was because I usually did my workouts at night, sleep apnea, or something else. Don't know.

    Now I take my RHR in the middle of the afternoon when my metabolizm is low. It gives me the most consistant and relavent feedback to my current fatigue level. YMMV

    The other thing I found is that when I was counting beats manually, just the process of counting them made the rate go up. So I did what Cary did and bought myself a Nonin GO2 pulse oximiter. Great toy for data geeks like us. With that I can use like a bio-feedback tool and push my HR up or down by as much as 4-6 beats if I try.

    FWIW, with my IM training, it's barely below 45 these days...fatigue sucks!!!

    Funny, when I get fatigued from IM training, mine stays put aroud 38 +/- 2 bpm but if I get sick it'll go up to 44-48. I just can't get my HR to elevate much DURING my workout when I'm fatigued!
