    Last year I think it was 70something, this year I am down to 50something. Oh, and I can run 15k in one go, not sure which impresses me more :-p

    I have little knowledge about this subject, but I ran across a web page with some charts that index age and resting heart rate ranges for men and women. Check it out: http://www.topendsports.com/testing/heart-rate-resting-chart.htm

    At last check my resting heart rate was 39, which I think is on the athletic side for a 50 year old man.

    Just looking at you guys' numbers...wow. I have anxiety and my heart rate is all over the place all the time. I'm lucky if I get it into the 70s. It has improved with exercise and weight loss, but it gets out of control with any amount of stress, and I have general anxiety so I'm generally anxious about everything. Any pointers?

    Ive heard yoga will help with anxiety - and I certainly know that running puts me in a zone. If youre not running give it a try. The only time I get antsy is when I havent been able to run!

    Mine was 95 bpm before I started running.

    Now it's 45 bpm.

    I must be a freak. 47 yo male, RHR = 40 bpm. Measured with a pulse oximeter over an entire night. Gets as low as 34 bpm at some points during the night.
