What is your resting heart beat, upon waking up in the morning? Do intensive swimming result in lower rates than persistent fitness swimming?

  • Looks like a symmetrical spread around 50 :D. We got 1 person under 35. Would be interested to know how he/she reached that level... I just took the poll and posted a 35 reading. My RHR has been in the 35-37 range all of my adult life, since I first heard about it and took my own reading when I was about 24. The 35-37 was achieved initially from just swimming around 30,000 yds/week, but I have added in biking and running over the years. However, swimming is still about 1/2 of my annual workout load. I am definitely more of a slow-twitch kind of guy in that I rarely swim anything shorter than 200s in Masters' meets, since I just don't sprint very well.
