EDDNR,

Great post

faa kit,

Same could be said for your response!

On the subject of running, I don't know how much you can look into pulse rate as an indicator of fitness....

When I was in regular training doing 8 miles 3 times per week, plus some fell running/munroes here and there, I had a resting pulse of 58.

Several years, and several thousand pints of lager later, with a much lower rate of exercise, my class one recorded 54bpm. I was still exercising but knew within myself I was not operating at the former level of fitness.....

A mate of mine has a pulse rate of 70, and is a real scary ****** - goes out for MaSsIVe runs and doesn't look too distressed at the end of them.

I realise this is anecdotal stuff, but its really kept me from looking too much into bpm's.....

Last run I went on lasted three hours and my pulse reached 270. Added too much curry mix
