Just came back from a doctor's visit. My pulse was 59. An interesting thing is
that I have only been swimming with the team for about 7 weeks and do about 3600 yds. I'm just over 50, by the way.
So, how does this compare?
I don't really fit well into such statistics because I take a beta blocker drug for my heart which can artificially depress the heart rate, but as a life-long athlete I have kept my resting HR in the low 50s. It was 51-53 thirty years ago and still is. I have seen it as low as 48, but if it is 60 I'm coming down with something and need rest.
