I am 67: I didn’t start my (slow!) running until about 10 years ago. When I was in my late 30s and 40s, though, my pulse at doctor visits would be somewhere in the high 80s to low 90s; pretty high that is. I weighed about 30 pounds more then than I do now. I’m 6’4" and long waisted; if you saw me you wouldn’t think “that guy is a runner”.

Since I’ve been running regularly, though, my resting pulse is (right now) 58; after a long run, it will drop below 50. For yesterday’s 3 mile run, 13:21 pace, my pulse ranged from 61 to 114.

This is all to say your pulse is dependent on your fitness level, and walking or running for 45 minutes to an hour 4 times a week will lower your pulse, increase your fitness level, and improve your overall mental health as well.

Honestly, before I retired and was working and raising kids, I didn’t have that hour 4 times a week, but now I don’t know how I can do without it, not just for fitness, but for overall mental health. I live next to the American River in the Sacramento Valley and always go out along the river and that is good for the soul.

Fast walking 85-95. Regular walking like to the store 70’s.

Resting around 60 to 65. Dips to around 40 to 45 while sleeping. Usually around 85 or so when walking slowly, and around 100 if walking briskly.

For me if highly depends if I had caffeine or not.

No caffeine 70~90bpm With caffeine 80~100bpm

I need to get in better cardio shape.

See a doctor. Too many factors for a Reddit thread. People are way too trusting of the internet.

Paramedics thought I was dying. They asked if I’m a runner. Base rate is about 40. Apple Watch constantly alerts.

Everyone has different levels. Nothing to worry about.

39M - Walking HR: 77

Walking around my neighborhood, which is mostly flat, my hr is usually around 80. I’ve noticed it’s slightly higher later in the day or right after I eat. I try to do 3-4 hours of zone 2 cardio per week. My zone 2 is 104-123. I have to walk at 10%+ incline at 20 minute mile pace to get my hr above 104.

Anywhere from 70-110 (higher when walking uphill at a brisk base).

My average walking heart rate for the last six months is 63 bpm

A lot depends on how much exercise you normally get, how much caffeine you take, whether you’re on thyroid hormones, ADHD meds, or beta blockers, etc which can affect heart rate. Comparing walking HR is difficult because level of exertion might not be equal so will look at resting. BTW normal resting HR is 60-100

My husband’s resting heart rate is mid 40’s and dips to 30s when he is asleep. He is extremely muscular and has had a full cardiology work up.

My resting heart rate when I was on too high of a dose of Synthroid was in the 90s. Now that it’s much less and appropriate, it went down to mid 70’s, and then they started me on beta blockers and its about 60.

Son on ADHD meds and Synthroid, not muscular at all/doesn’t exercise, runs 100-120 resting heart rate.

A lot of factors affect heart rate.

61 year old male, it’s 74 according to the health app.

My walking HR is high at about 135 bpm; however, I am on stimulant medications and SNRIs that both affect my HR. I’m 29 F :)

According to my health app the average is 112BMP for me. Almost 30M.

Same age and gender as you and my watch says my resting HR is 50-60, walking is same as yours. I jog every day and walk around a lot at work, though I do have some hereditary chronic conditions. I will say that I naturally walk extremely fast, even when not in a hurry. I usually have to pass almost everyone on the street, so it’s almost like a jog. Maybe you do the same.
