Comments on: paranoia will destroy ya! http://completerunning.com/running-blog-mark/index.php/archives/2004/09/28/paranoia-will-destroy-ya/ Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather - a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who's beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

Well, I guess it is all relative huh? I remember when I started measuring over a year ago, my resting heart rate was about 55. That was after a couple years of training for marathons so I imagine it was around 60 or 70 before that. Anyway, last year I watched it come down from 55 to 45 (maybe lower). A low Resting hr in and of itself is not a sign of fitness but when you lower your OWN rhr, it IS a sign YOU have become more fit so this makes me very happy! :) Thanks Lafe.

You were upset with 50 bpm?! Great googly moogly! You thought that was <b>high</b>!? I'm not <b>even</b> gonna share my resting heart rate. Hah! Now that’s what I call a resting heart rate.

Taper-brain (as hollie so aptly named it) affects even the Blogfather. Phew. Now I don't feel quite so neurotic...I'm in good company. See – it’s not just me!

Uh, oh! Taper madness has begun to grip Mark already. :) Please be aware that monitoring your heart rate and being anxious about why it is not going down, will actually raise your heart rate. Ofcourse having low fluid levels <i>would</i> require a higher heart rate to deliver the same level of O2 into your tissues. But don't think about that. Just drink your water and be calm. You have a week and a half to go. Relax. :) LOL! Uh, oh!

I am never thirsty and I have to FORCE myself to drink. Somehow, it is never enough. Glad you figured it out! Isn’t what the lack of water in our systems will do crazy?
