    Lowering resting heart rate

    When does it start getting lower when you run regulary? How many miles a week to get it down to 40?

    Mine was 40 when I got into the habit of running 60 - 70 miles per week.

      running regularly knackers your knees and is not the best for cardio.

      Get on that rowing machine instead, you'll notice the difference in no time.

        Can you still walk a straight line? Any lasting pain in your knees from that amazing effort?

            I'm fine thanks. I reduced the running a lot when I got my first contract - in Qatar.

              I enjoy running (outside) though, and my knees are ok, not had a problem, good trainers and running technique help. I would find a rowing machine boring.

                Were you running away from people shouting 'Here! Take this suitcase of money and let us host a major international sporting event!!!!'

                ?
                Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.

                    Why do you want your heart rate to be lower? I'd have thought there are better indicators of your training having a positive effect than your heart rate being marginally lower, which although an indicator of fitness is not always an accurate reflection of ones level of fitness. Isn't reduced recovery times a more meaningful reflection of progress?
