Let me introduce you to 1st degree heart block


Nope. Distance runners tend to have a really low resting HR. A buddy who's crazy fast had his measured at 38. Distance running makes your heart become much more efficient at pumping blood to the body, thus fewer beats are required.

It's not just running. It's anyone with good cardio fitness. I'm sure crossfit bros have a good resting HR. When I'm in shape, sub 50 is easy. My "walking around" HR is usually in the low 70's. I rarely take my true resting HR though. Never have a monitor on at that time.
