Right after my last rowing session, my pulse went from 143 to 125 in 3 minutes (pulse standing just before I went on was about 90). Didn't FEEL like too much, but the Metoprolol (25mg twice a day) may be masking all kinds of things. I honestly think sports physiology and regular cardiology do not intersect (I have not been able to find ONE article on the 'net on this subject), so I guess we're as good a source as anyone...

Raverlaw said:My HR has gradually dropped since the surgery and with regular exercise. at 50 years old, I try to keep it around 145 for sustained exercise, with little bursts up to 150-55 once in a while for variety. I do could 135 for hours. I'm with Tom - if my HR doesn't get back below 100 after three minutes off the rower, I know I've over done it for the day.
A week of long work hours, travel or a minor cold will also raise my resting HR about 5 beats. Right now, my resting HR is around 60.
