Is it not the case that a lot of elite athletes have a low rhr but it's not necessarily an indicator of it? I remember getting surgery as a teenager, having a nurse comment that I must do a load of sport because of my rhr when really the most I did was picking up the gamecube controller

Sure, but I think you're reading into my clumsy language a bit too much.
Most people with RHRs below 40 are pretty fit. Especially if they're an elite mountaineer for their day job.
I had a similar experience pre surgery when I was 16. Nurse told me I had a low pulse at about 55. (Was fairly sporty though).

I intended to indicate that he is an elite mountain athlete in his own right to highlight the fact that his opinion might be carry more weight than a flabby lowland mouth breather such as myself.
