Low heart rate

Pablosammy

Hi,

I've been running for a few months, but I'm by no means an athlete! My resting heart rate sits at 50, sometimes 49, and I'm wondering if this is a little low. I'm 29 and male.

Is it normal to have some variation around what's 'expected'? Should I see the doc?

Cheers,

Sam

Just checked mine. I am at 54.

generally, a lower resting heart rate is a GOOD sign, assuming no other cardiac conditions. 50's pretty good, if your doctor gave you the all clear with your heart, then be happy, the slower the heart rate the better condition you're in usually.

Cheers - it'll be interesting to see what it gets to when I'm at my target weight and fitness!
