I've actually been counting the beats!
I could say more but don’t want to venture into P&R. |

I've that belief attributed to an early astronaut among others. Doesn't seem easily falsifiable.

My current max is 189. When I'm feeling good, I can sustain a hard effort in the mid-170s, and make repeated short efforts to 180. However, I've always had a high HR. In my prime (early 30s), I was seeing a max of 207, and could climb for extended periods at 192.
His wife started having kids and he disappeared. Kinda inconsiderate of her. I think my ticker is ok @150bpm for extended periods but I don't use a monitor. I've normally had a resting rate in the low 40s, freaks nurses out. Lately it's been higher, mid 50s. This concerns me a bit. |

It would require about 100 years and a very large N, monitored constantly the whole time. You'd have to bulk up the N to account for all those who die from misadventure or other causes unrelated to running out of heartbeats.

The whole idea of fixed number of heartbeats is not rational. Makes as much sense as using an IV of bleach to treat COVID.
|
If everyone died because they ran out of heartbeats, that would not explain natural cause deaths that do not feature the heart suddenly stopping.

I see the greater problem in knowing what the fated number of heartbeats was for each person. It's easy to say, "That was it!" post-hoc.

Don't know if you're thinking of riding this weekend but I went out today and finished around 11:00 and it wasn't too bad. Thinking this Saturday I'll try to get done before noon as well. I'm just hoping this weather improves soon.

My typical resting HR is in the high 50s to low 60s. I don't know if that's good or bad, but if I'm breathing I'm happy.

Mrs. GeneJockey, growing up in a farming area, once heard, "You'll eat a bushel of dirt before you die." To her young mind, this indicated that as long as you didn't eat that bushel of dirt, you'd live forever. You just have to avoid people who offer you a big container of dirt and a spoon.
