Aren't you meant to measure first thing when you wake up?

 

Closest I have come to that is wake up..running kit on...stretch...start gps...and it was 42....so I reckon resting must be round about 38.....I'm 39 yrs old...knocking on the big 4 0

40 years old.  laid on bed for an hour in the evening , checked garmin, 43 bpm. Highest it went was 182bpm but otherwise I generally top out at 173 bpm.

Quite high HR for being on the bed, haha

Mine's about 56.

I'm 47yrs.

Peaked briefly at 230 during the PPA 'funride' on Sunday - is this something to be concerned about?

You probably should change that garmin chest strap to the new polar strap, just the strap not the sensor

If you are fit you will attain your resting heart rate after about 3 minutes of inactivity assuming sufficient rest after last exertion. So walking to the kettle and standing still for a while should not increase your HR by 4 beats a minute,
