Mine is usually in low 40s, occasionally I'll check when I wake up in
the morning and it'll be just under 40. It's acceptable if your
cardiopulmonary system is fit (low resting heart rate is one
indication). Means your heart is working more efficiently than the
hearts of "normal" people (72 is about average). Keep up the good work.

Do small folk have higher rates than big folk, all else being equal?

I've got the same stats as nut.nut above. But recovery rate and VO2
max are also good indicators of cardio fitness. Low blood pressure is
generally a good thing, to.

Correction. I meant cardioVASCULAR. Just finished reading an article on
incidence of pulmonary embolisms when I posted. Sorry. :-)

The consistently lowest resting heart rate I'm aware of was tennis star
Bjorn Borg's, which was reportedly 35 bpm. President Bush's is in the
low 40s. Neither man is exactly "smaller folk," but just thought I'd
throw it out.

Miguel Indurain had a resting hr of 26.

I've seen several different rates for Indurain. From Lance's website:

Ever wondered what kind of numbers the boy can generate? Lance's coach,
Chris Carmichael sent us these key stats for LA:

Resting heart rate: 32-34
VO2ml/kg: 83.8
Max power at VO2: 600 watts
Max heart rate: 201
Lactate Threshold HR: 178
Time Trial HR: 188-192
Pedal rpm's during TT: 95-100
Climbing rpm's: 80-85, sometimes faster when attacking
Average HR during endurance rides (4-6 hrs): 124-128
Average watts during endurance rides: 245-280 watts
Training miles/hours, endurance rides: 5- 6 hrs / 100-130miles

Mine's often in the mid 50's myself.
Anything that is less than 1 beat per minute is to be considered
really bad.

Huh? Where's your source for that? If it's true then there must be
many fit people out there who are close to death (on a sliding scale
from 60 down)...
