Question

distance runners have a low resting heart rate .how does this advantage them?​

Answer 1

Many runners choose to train by heart rate zone versus overall pace. If you can train by heart rate, should you be tracking it when you are at rest, too? Is there any helpful training data a runner can get from keeping an eye on their resting heart rate? If you’ve ever wondered these things — or even found your resting heart rate falls below the average range — we are here to dive deep into exactly what endurance athletes should know about their heart rate when they aren’t running.Your resting heart rate isn’t a static number. Though it is the number of beats per minute that your heart makes during rest, there are actually a number of factors that affect the final number (from current state of activity to body position to emotions). Because of this, resting heart rate is often determined as healthy by where it falls within an overall range. The American Heart Association says a normal resting heart rate usually falls between 60–100 beats per minute (bpm).

You can keep an eye on your resting heart rate if you have a fitness wearable with heart rate tracking capabilities — or you can go analog and do it the old-fashioned way. According to Harvard Medical School, you can do this by placing two fingers (your index and middle) on your wrist or the side of your neck and count the number of beats for 30 seconds. Double that number and you have your resting heart rate (though it is recommended to do this more than once to check for accuracy).
