I know running can lower your resting pulse rate. But how low is too
low? I consider all of you guys better runners than me but I jave been
checking my pulse and today it is averaging 42. How low is too low?

lance armstrong and John Stockton where both in the 30's (from what I
read, but can you believe everything on the internet?). Mine is always
around 55-60 no matter how good of shape I am in (I suspect the better
shape i am in its closer to the 55 bpm). I guess as long as the body is
functioning then you should be ok.

A friend of mine's has been 45 for decades; she's had no problems about
it.

Mine went into 30s and 40s the first ten years of running,
but has stayed inthe 50s the two decades after that.
When it reachesd 60, it usually means I have to lose about five pounds.
I notice losiung weight depresses it and gaining weight increases it.
The first year or two of running many people are losing weight.

I went in for an outpatient medical procedure a while back and the nurses
were at first puzzled because mine was about 44 at the time. They thought
the sensor was on wrong at first. When I explained that I run and bike,
their concern quickly faded.
The only complication I've seen is a bit of orthostatic hypotension: I get
dizzy sometimes when I stand up too fast and my BP/heart rate don't
compensate fast enough.

Same here. Mine runs about 49-50 and I have to make an effort to
remember to very slowly rise, particularly from a squat. I've come
close to blacking out.

That used to happen to me when I had low blood pressure, but never from
having a resting pulse in the low 40's.

There was some discussion about this on the ultra list. The condition is
called postural hypotension. Essentially, after many hours of exercise,
the blood vessels become distended and that causes the blood pressure to
drop. Less blood is available to the brain, the athlete can pass out
from insufficient oxygen to the brain. When the person gets horizontal,
the blood flow to the brain increases and the person re-gains
consciousness. This is more of a problem with people who have low blood
pressure. It can be especially bad if a person is resting in a
horizontal position and then jumps up suddenly. The heart rate will pick
up upon standing, but with postural hypotension, the heart can't get
enough blood to the brain and the person passes out.
