this thread or some variation of it gets started up every week or so. it's almost always started by someone with numbers on the extreme edge as a not-so-subtle form of bragging. hey, look at me! i have a really low resting hr/high max hr so i must be a great athlete or have great potential! like comparing vo2max.
i have a better question. what are you prs?
400-52
800-1:52
1500-3:47
Mile--4:08
3000-8:27
5k-14:45
10k-30:14
What was Roger Bannister's Resting Heart Rate?
How can I get my heart rate lower?
me too!

38 resting, 193 max
As you have said, this happens periodically, but many don't understand the whole concept, nor the importance (or lack thereof of the issue. I tested an Olympic Gold medalist (distacne event) with a max HR of 148, and a resting of around 32. So he had a rather small range -- 116. What does that tell you? he must have a pretty large stroke volume to get the amount of blood delivered that he needed to deliver to accomplish what he wanted to do as a runner. Or how about the world record holder (in more than 1 middle-distance event) with a resting HR of 60 and a max of 186 -- range 126. Maybe too many people get too hung up on HR values, just as they do with VO2max. By the way, 25 years after I tested that guy with the 148 max I tested him again (as a 55 year old) and his max was 146, which was a real relief for me to know I didn't just miscount it all those times when he was younger. And for the person who said he/she couldn't count fast enough to get over about a 220 HR, I think it is possible. I just tried counting a fast tapping rate and was able to count 60 beats in 10 seconds -- twice in a row. Maybe I finally found my calling --counting fast heart rates.
mine resting is 42 and max is 235. That is thanks to my heart condition that speeds my heart up past what is healthy.
Resting is 30-35 max is 170. At a 6:00 pace for 30 minutes it coasts around 155.
Current RHR: 56
Current MHR: 191 (age 45)
Previous (age 20 something) 44 and 202.
resting: low 50s
max:a tad under 220
36 resting (when I wake in the am.)
55-70 during the course of the day (at work etc.)
220 max. on a treadmill while steadily jacking up the incline. (i was wearing a hr monitor)
I keep it at about 130-140 on regular training runs.
170 on tempos.
I rarely run with a hr monitor. I usually go by feel. However, particularly on easy days I'll wear it to make sure I'm not running too hard.
One of the Tour De France winners (it may have been Indurain) had a maximum HR of 160. If anything, it appears that elite athletes tend to have lower maximum heart rates than the rest of the population. This is all anecdotal, but I know several 10-minute-per-mile jogger types whose maximum heart rates are over 200 bpm; meanwhile, I know several sub-16 minutes 5K types (myself among them) who have HR maxes under 185. I would be surprised if maximum HR or even HR "range" is strongly correlated with running performance.

In lab testing---Vo2 Test 214 range
Rest 32-same day.
But I've take (with HR monitor) 242
28 rest before, this is all well and nice but it wasn't at the same time--actually your max hr drops when your fit, doesnt need to beat as much. So I guess I wasn't so fit with the 242-I had seen alot of 230's prior to that.
Recent measurements:
Resting: 28 bpm
Max HR: 171
my lowest ever recorded was 35bpm.
my max is 239bpm, recorded 3 times each on 2 different heart rate monitors while cycling, and once on a spinning bike.
this means i have a range of 204bpm and judging by other peoples heart rates i am a little sceptical about my results myself, but i can cycle 100 miles in 5 hours 30 mins at 180bpm no problem.
id like to know if my results are possible and if they will effect me in life; my family has no history of heart conditions.
Armstrong over 200? yes

My HRmax is fairly low also, at something like 162-166 (haven't "tested" it lately, but I haven't seen much higher than 162 toward the end of races lately, either).
u got WPW? just curious
Not impossible, but you would be counting almost 4 beats per second. That just kind of hard to do by feel. I'd bet some money you messed up, which is easy when the heart is racing.
