My runner son had a slower heart beat than average.
He was a competitive swimmer as youngster - long practices swimming lengths.
In high school it seems the swimming practice made him good for long-distance running, and in college for rowing.

You're correct about personal strength needed as we age.
How would we get through this pandemic without it?
