    Resting BPM: Not tested. Somewhere below 60 - I'm at 60 sitting on the couch for a few seconds.
    BP: Don't remember. I know it's on the low side but still in normal range.
    Height: 5'3
    Weight: 119lbs
    Age: 41
    Activity level: marathon training, normally 25-30 miles per week

    I do have a very high max HR and high HRs when I exercise. The 220-age formula is totally off for me. My hour-long runs are 175+ pretty much the whole time. I'm easily able to hold a conversation using full sentences. I only start getting winded when I'm in the high 190's, low 200's for a little while.

    FWIW, I've had EKGs and a sonogram done ('monitoring' a birth defect I was diagnosed with when I was 3 - when I was in my 20's a sonogram showed the diagnosis was wrong). Heart's perfectly normal. Stroke volume not unusually low. Heart rate when not exercising is like any one else's.

    So not looking forward to the inevitable freak-out when I do my first stress test, whenever that usually is. Fifties?

    Mine's in the 50's, but I take an extended-release beta-blocker for migraines, palpitations and heart rate ;)
    5'6", 133. BP good but I never remember it.
    Not very aerobically active, I hate to say.

    Also include height, weight and activity level, if you know your blood pressure, why not? if you guys don't mind indulging a future med students curiosity.

    I'm 5'8
    160lbs at maintenance
    My resting heart rate is 60 which at my age puts me in "athlete" category which is almost laughable as 2 years ago I was a couch potato

    I'm now active and clearly awesome :). But I'm not a runner.
