    depends on your age and fitness level. Mine is 50 or so, but I'm a dedicated runner. 50 is fine as long as you aren't symptomatic (passing out, etc).

    I'm 19 and a running fanatic here too. :)

    A Heart rate in the 50's is excellent!! Athletes have heart rates of 50.

    The average adult RNR is about 60-70. But really can range from anything from about 50 - 90.
    I have a RHR of 54 so am slightly on the low side. Not an issue, but if you have a medical procedure do let the medics know your normal RHR. I scared an anesthetist once when mine went lower than she was expecting - normal for me!! Apparently caused problems for them during the op I was having.

    I'm in the 40's. My Doctor says I have the HR of a runner. I run A LOT so I guess i'm good.

    Mine was 44 and I am not a runner or in shape. I asked my doctor why it was so low and he told me that it was from one of my blood pressure meds. I was on. On the tread mill I could not get it over 125. I switched meds and now it is around 66.
