Recently, I've been taking my RHR measures regularly again, and yet again, I've been struck by how it's never varied more than a few beats from 70bpm (and always above, never below) in spite of however much endurance training I've done, and no matter the modality. Also, thinking back, I've always adapted very poorly to any form of endurance training, having had to do twice the work to get half the benefit others do. It's one of the reasons I gave up on running and every other dedicated endurance exercise for many years, instead opting for strength-endurance and power-endurance.
Anyone have any ideas why I might be experiencing this phenomenon? According to all the scientific literature I've read, my RHR should have come down with each cycle of endurance training I've done, but it never did. I'm starting to suspect my heart and lungs are defective somehow and it's doing my head in.
