My resting HR is 80bpm on a v good day ! anything sends it sky high-just laughing takes it up to 110! I wore a pulse monitor the other day and had to take it off by luchtime for fear of having a heart attack ! I train 3x week 30 mins, and do 1 x 10k per week.
Could there be something amiss or can it still be quite normal to have such a high resting HR-Do I need to train harder? Is it just me ?

The doc just shrugs and says at least you're exercising!!!?
If anyone knows somebody who is studying sports science and wants me as a G Pig let me know.
I usually reckon that sitting on the settee with eyes closed, breathing slowly will take me down to about 15 beats above resting rate.
So, when and how did you take your resting rate?
It's not clear if you've got a hrm, but you can probably find kit in the gym with built in monitors if you haven't. That way you can monitor if theres any long term change - and don't worry unless it gets worse! Try monitoring HR for a set speed/distance over time.
Just started playing with my brand new HRM, and I can go from resting of 60 to over 100 by just standing up and walking about - You might be on the high side, but it might not be too much to worry about.
