I'm definitely NOT a doctor, and my RHR varies from 42 during the riding season, to 58 in the winter. Maybe some denizens here ride equally year-around, so the distinction doesn't matter. As I sit here at my desk at work, I'm at 54. That's my 'sitting' HR, not my 'resting' HR.,

I won’t track resting heart rate until I can add it to my Strava feed for scoring and comparison purposes.

I believe that my RHR has been an indicator of how life's ongoing health issues have affected me.
In my early 60's I had been doing some intense riding with a great bunch of guys when in 2011 a bike crash required a visit to an ER that resulted in continuous Low Heart Rate alarm until attended to. Once back to riding I was riding even more intensely and in 2014 I had a minor surgery that required a Pre-Op. The ECG reading was taken from a 39bpm recorded heart rate.
Continuing some awesome riding I then needed another Pre-Op ECG for my first Prostate Cancer (PCa) therapy procedure. I walked into the room and sat down, answered some questions then up on the gurney and got hooked up. Nurse said my heart rate was too low for an accurate recording so I carefully got up, moved around and back down. Reading was fine at 39bpm when the original was not good at 32bpm. As I re-shirted and as I was leaving the nurse commented that the 39bpm recording was the same as the one 2 years earlier for that minor surgery.
7 years of PCa treatment has resulted in inconsistent riding and more cycling incidences that has my RHR into upper 50's. Unable to exercise at high intensity has definitely upped my heart rate

My dad had stacks of them. He thought is record collection was worth a fortune but you can't give that crap away.
Speaking of my dad, he also had a photo album.

Folks posting what they think is a low rhr to show their fitness..........
Folks then realizing that vo2max also includes max hr in the calculation, not just rhr.........
Folks further realizing they're still slow as sloth balls because performance itself is the best indicator of performance........
