how and when are you people measuring your heart rate?

with a device or the old school finger to the neck or wrist?
"Resting" is either when I first wake up in the morning and am still in bed, or after I have been sitting very quietly for some period of time. And have not had any coffee for 8 hours or more.
Old school--finger on wrist, looking at watch.
37 (50-80mpw for decades) but my maxHR is only 179 now

According to my Garmin my average RHR over the past 7 days is 52.
I'm 37, male, averaging 35-40 mpw.
My watch tells me that my average is 50. When I take it before I go to sleep, a little lower.
I guess I'm on about 10 years of 30-35 MPW on average. I think it's largely a genetic thing.
My 5K PR is mid 17s

It's true. Measured multiple times back then prior to getting out of bed (waking, not resting). My wife is a former cardiac nurse and cringed when I told her. My resting rate was always in the low 40s during that time.
'Had been running competitively for 13 years by then - started at age 6 or so. Crazy miles and intensity during my teens, then got to college and....nothing except injuries (it was bound to happen though, so nobody's fault, really).

Offseason (mid-winter or mid-summer), very little running: > 55bpm.
At about 25 mpw: around 52-53 bpm.
At about 40 mpw: around 48-50 bpm.
Both mpw and bpm are averaged over several weeks.
Pretty much exact same for me. I had a nurse once taking my blood pressure for , like, 2 minutes. I finally asked her if everything was OK and she said "I just keep thinking I'm getting this wrong. I've never seen anyone with such low blood heart rate." I guess she didn't get a lot of endurance runners LOL.

Ranges between 48 and 52 - I've been injured for about 8 months, but have noticed that increasing cross training and weights did lower it to what it is now (from 55 to what it is presently).
As a high schooler running 40 miles a week it got down to 42
Running 90-100 miles a week at around age 27-28 it was 32
In my forties after not running for almost 10 years but still keeping fit it was 32 (did a lot of hard interval swim sessions for a few years)
In my 50's it deeps under 40 occasionally but I don't regularly check it so it might be lower. I run 20 miles and lift.
Mid evening currently 50 (measured with a finger pulse oximeter). Usually mid to high 40s by bedtime, low 50s on waking.

Age 40
15 to 20 mpw

It beats when I decide to let it beat.
Y'all are fat hobby joggers.
I'm in my early 30's
When relaxed my heart rate is 43-47,
When sleeping 33-37.
Haven't consistently trained in over 10 years. Occasionally i'll play basketball, frisbee, or soccer but it's very sporadic.
I imagine running helped me lower my heart rate during high school, and I've been able to somehow maintain that so far.
That or something is abnormal with my heart considering my fitness or lack thereof.

well, I stand corrected
38 when I was at peak fitness years ago
Now mid 40s most of the time
50s or even 60s if I have been drinking the night before

and has training had effect on it?
Average resting heart rate for the last week has been 49 bpm. Currently running 65-70 mpw.

Third sentence
50 bpm at age 52, run hard about 10 MPW and circuit 1-2 hours a week
Was about the same 10 years ago doing twice as much
Echo showed a normal but large heart, stroke volume 150 ml which is about twice normal
57, roughly the same as in off-season (have gotten down to 53 average before), currently in ~4:20 mile shape.
Age 57
Weight 225
Former D1 runner ; post college 5k-16's; 10k-33's; 10 mile - 55; half 1:18 (49th at 1987 Indy Mini) ; marathon 3:53 (10th at 1987 Indy Marathon); it was hot both those days!
Current resting per iwatch is 37 bpm; sometimes dips to 34. Always have been slow...
