Average heart rate dropping

[Jay66UK]

My average heart rate for my run has been dropping consistently by 1bpm for the past half dozen runs. As I have been running the same (or longer) time and distance, I presume this is a sign I am getting fitter? Fair chuffed.

You've always been a fit bloke to us Jay Sounds like all those benefits are starting to come through now. You're turning into an endurance athlete before our eyes!!

[Jay66UK Graduate in reply to sallenson]

I wish, mate - I’m still a fat bloke. But a fat bloke with a falling heart rate!

[sallenson Graduate in reply to Jay66UK]

Now listen up tiger. You have done an awesome job. And been an absolute rock to a lot of folk on here. It's just going to get better and better from here on in

Nice one Jay! It’s great to think that as our heart rate drops we will have more heart beats left for the future! 🤗

That must be a good feeling for you Jay as you are getting fitter which makes all this hard work you've done seem worth it.

I've no idea what my heart rate is doing & not sure I want to know as it's probably off the scale haha

Pleased for you 👏👏

[Jay66UK Graduate in reply to Kazbar10]

Thanks. Definitely getting fitter. My calf muscles started changing really early on. Seems my thigh muscles are catching up now. If they weren’t still short and hairy, I’d not recognise these legs as my own!

[SandieF Graduate]

Haha ‘short, fat, hairy legs’ sounds like me 😂. Your doing fab and an inspiration. Watch out bud, I’m catching you up 👍🤪
