There is some genetic basis for whether you do or do not have low resting
HR. It also probably plays little role in determining how far you can go in
endurance sports.
Jim Ryun was known to have a resting HR of something like 55 ... but a MAX
HR of 220.
Physiologically gifted for the 800/1500/Mile ... but maybe somewhat impeded
at 5k and beyond.

Not all that unusual. At one time in college I had a resting rate of 36-38
(in the morning) and I was only a 32:00 runner. I would guess that it comes
down to covering those 12-14 mile days. (although mine was de pie, and not
on wheels) As a side note on how far were have progressed. In 1971 I was
the lucky winner of the number 62 in the draft and the top 120 were being
drafted for a vacation in Vietnam. When I reported for my physical and the
doctor got a stethoscope to my chest, he stopped the physical immediately
and gave me the 4F classification (Basically, women and children would go to
Vietnam before I did), with the explanation that anyone with a HR of 42 (The
test was given up 4 flights of stairs in Little rock Arkansas in the
afternoon and I had already did a morning run of 6 miles, so I guess that
explains my elevated HR) had a poor chance of living past the age of 25.
Thank goodness he was wrong!

PS - I am 49 today and had a HR of 46 this morning, so I guess it might have
some genetic basis. It may also have something to do with the fact I can
swim 75 yards underwater even to this day. (did 50 yards last night just to
see if I still had it and made it easily)

speaking of Armstrong, the other night on David Letterman, Armstrong said
his resting heart rate was in the "thirties". No wonder he can pump that
bike up the mountains. I have heard of low 40's but not sure on anyone in
the thirties.
