Like, indefinitely? That's hard to imagine!
I mean, it increases again when you lose fitness, but it stays larger than it was before you got fit, so it remains lower than it was initially
In my case, when I was at my peak, I'd be in the high 30s, low 40s. When I lost my fitness, I sat in the mid to high 40s.
Before I took up distance running in the first place, my RHR was in the high 50s.
