I've heard of 28 bpm for various people but not anyone with 27.
My pulse has always been a bit weird.
Even being in roughly 8:50 3K shape a couple years ago, my pulse never really got beneath 50. I'd say 53 was the lowest I ever officially recorded. And now, my resting pulse is probably 70 without training, and when I did training that was too heavy, I reached 65-75 resting bpm even with big mileage weeks. All very weird and strangely high.
Salazar has us all beat. He had his at 0 bpm for 14 minutes once in July, then he decided to come back to life cuz dying is too mainstream.
46ish now/36 and "bounding" then. I am a lot older now. When it was that low(BP was very low as well), I would doze off very easily if nothing was going on and I was sitting still for a while. I do not doze off as much now.

Apparently my heart is very large and beats very forcefully. This is neither good nor bad, but my systolic pressure is high while distolic pressure is low. Kicks like a mule, with a very low max HR.What are your thoughts on this? I have a similar issue. I often have a tremendously hard pulse that is distracting at best or rather concerning at worst, though I've had a comprehensive slate of tests run indicating that everything is working properly. Systolic readings in the 130s and 140s are typical for me (particularly in doctors' offices, where I know anxiety is a factor). Resting pulse usually hangs between 40 and 45, though it occasionally dips to 38 or 39. I'm 30 years old.
Do the hard pulse and blood pressure readings ever worry you or have you just accepted it's anomalous but harmless and moved on?
Anomylous and harmless. FWIW my HR is 130-140/70, and I'm 32. My cardiologist confirms it's all good. He had a cute rundown of 'diesel' hearts and 'Kawasaki' hearts. It's just a function of absolute size without taking cardiac hypertrophy into account. You need X amount of RBCs in circulation, your heart is size Y, the rest is just math.
You and I just happen to have stonking great big hearts that beat rarely and powerfully. The anomoly on my ECG was a gigantic QT interval, plus a small bump on my T wave. They seemed totally unconcerned once I got an echocardiogram, but commented on how big my heart was in absolute terms.
My BP is 130-140/70, not HR, obviously.
Right now it's about 54 sitting on my couch drinking a strong cup of coffee, haven't ran consistently in about a month now because of injury. Few weeks ago I was frequently at 38 bpm. I'm 19.
Lowest: 36 - during college after a summer of 80-105 mile weeks
Now: 45 - run about 25 miles per week, lift weights and bike a bit
Back in college I could cruise 18 mile long runs at 5:55 pace no problem, my 5K PR was only 15:17 so it proves that RHR isn't everything especially when it comes to shorter distances. Always wondered if it is more of a benefit at longer races though.
