can they have a resting heartrate of 20 bpm?
i heard alan webbs was like 21 or something like that. my rhr when i wake up is always 41.
what about non runners? can they score below 20 bpm and still be healthy or alive?

Lance had 32 or 33 during his winning ways. This is probably the lowest unless you are a reptile or reptilian. Haha.
Superman's heart beat slowed to once every few days or something after his fight with Doomsday.
I mention this because he raced Flash for charity once.
there's no way webb's was 21
Miguel Indurain had a 28. Other cyclist died from too low HR when hopped up on EPO so 30 is prolly the limit.
0bpm?

Coe's was reported to get as low as 28 when totally rested during tests at Loughborough Uni.
I am by no means elite. I had to wear a holter monitor once, which measures your heart rate while you sleep. If you go for more than 2 seconds between beats, it records it as heart failure. I had several two hour stretches at night when I was "dead" according to the monitor.
Anyways, if a 16 flat guy's heart rate can dip below 30, why couldn't Webb's rhr be in the low 20s?
I haven't tested mine forever but I measured 27-28 several times years ago. Mine has always been low though, even as a kid my parents were surprised by my low rate at doctor appointments.
Unless I'm deliberately slowing down my heart rate by holding my breath or something, I'm usually around 50. I don't think there's that strong a correlation between heart rate and race times among well-trained runners. For example, I remember Jim Ryun was purported to have a resting heart rate of around 55, and yet you have 16:00 guys with heart rates in the 30s.
If you held your breath, your heart rate would go up, not down. Your body would react by increasing heart rate to get more oxygen to body.

That's not true. Instead of just making up bullshit why don't you actually try it? Why would your heart beat faster to provide oxygen that's not there? It would just waste more oxygen.
Not sure if you're trolling or just stupid... It's called the mammalian diving reflex, look it up. Also, the main drive to breath under exercise of a breath hold is blood pH. A buildup of CO2 forces a person to breath. Hypoxic drive isn't triggered unless pH is balanced, most of the time.

The classic letsrun dilemma.
In my youth in 14:45 shape I would usually score mid 30s, but with a deliberate effort to relax I found I could exercise some conscious control and get it down to 29ish. If world class is 10-15% better, mid 20s would be expected...
And yet everywhere you look Indurain's 28 is noted as the "lowest recorded."

Mine is 34 bpm and I'm a hobby jogger.
The lowest I've heard of was 26, by Ron Clarke and Miquel Indurain. There was a 440 runner who had a low heart rate but I don't recall who it was.
Mine got to 34 a few times at age 19. When I started training for marathons it went up to 42, and probably my max heart rate came down.
21 means death
letsrun regular Pete, has a resting heart rate of 25
