Excessive cardio is the worst form of exercise possible.
Will Ferrell finished a marathon.
Many chronic cardio exercisers have systemic inflammation issues.
It’s also trains the natural chaos out of the heartbeat.

If he’s happy, then he’s happy.
Apparently Neil Armstrong was once being interviewed for a newspaper article and was asked about his daily workout or exercise regimen. Did he jog?
“I believe we only have a finite number of heartbeats, I’ll be damned if I’m going to waste mine running around the block”. Naturally, NASA and the press office got wind of this, and ole Neil “clarified” his remarks - he was naturally a huge proponent of exercise!
—”Will Ferrell finished a marathon.”
Several marathons...????

The second link was very interesting!
THANK YOU!
I used HRV training for years and recommend it... amazing stuff.
A fellow HRV user once commented, that the morning HRV reading knows if he had a second beer with dinner the night before.
I do not doubt it.
I have completed a few marathons including Leadville starting point at over 10,000 feet elevation.
Then migrated over to cycling where over-training is well known.
“Marco Pantani. Considered one of the best cyclists of all time, his resting heart rate was 34bpm, and could drop to even more dangerous levels in sleep. So dangerous he would need to wake up at night and cycle just to raise his heart rate to a safe level.”
May have been extenuating circumstances.
Here is a cardiologist on the topic.

My morning resting HR was consistently ~44 during the years I did HRV. My physician did not see any problem.
