<p>Does anyone know the average blood pressure of ultra endurance athletes? Someone like Scott Jurek, Killian Jornet, or even Lance Armstrong?</p> <p>I had my blood pressure taken today during a dental exam and Was able to check the records for a pre-paleo test to compare. Here is what I got:</p> <p>Jan 2011- 134/72. Paleo since around May. November 2011- 109/63.</p> <p>I do not know a lot about BP but I assume lower is better. Is a 109/63 good? Can this drop be attributed to diet? Is BP a measure of cardiovascular strength or endurance?</p> <p>Sorry for the rambling post/questions. </p> <p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I can't wait to hear about the world-class athletes!</p> <p>I can tell you that my grandson is a cross-country high school athlete. His pulse is in the 50s and his blood pressure is extremely low by normal standards. Almost scary.</p>
