My resting has been 36-40 since age 15. Scared the hell out of me once when I was in an ER for trauma and they say "we have to fix your heart first". It's common for athletes to have a resting heart rate below 40, though I'm not aware of any relationship between performance (e.g., VO2max) and resting heart rate. I.e., 35 is no better or worse than 50.
- aws_ls 11y agoIt seems elite cyclists resting heart rate can by < 30. For e.g. "The cyclist Miguel Indurain was reported to have a resting heart rate of just 28 beats per minute." (Src: Google search for: elite cyclist resting heart rate)
