"Well-trained athletes may have a resting heart rate between 30 and 40 bpm. But everyone’s heart rate is different. There’s no “ideal” resting heart rate, even though a lower resting heart rate may mean you’re more fit."
Double qualifiers up in there. Resting heart rate is largely meaningless. My wife's RHR is lower than mine, even though I ride over 10x as much as she does, and ride faster (harder) as well.
Mine is also all over the place-- I just tested it now, sitting here in a chair, and it's 65bpm. When I was in Urgent Care with a broken hand, it was 48bpm. I've been walking the bike to the street for a ride and the computer is showing 50bpm.
It's a number that isn't really indicative of anything.
