I am just wondering if anyone has any information regarding how regular running will change my heart rate when training? I have a max of 187 and during the 5k Parkruns my avg has been 173bpm (for approx 29mins). This feels like a huge workload but it is pretty normal when I run or cycle. My heart rate does come down pretty quickly when I stop. (Similar to a formula 1 car!)
Will regular running bring down my average or do I just have to live with it. I would like to have more power and a lower heart rate in order to decrease my time.
Any suggestions?

If you're not close to your max at the end of a 5k then you really haven't run it hard enough. If your HR is coming down quickly afterwards then that's a sign that you've got a good fitness level.
Regular training will bring your HR down but I hope that you'll race faster rather than at a lower HR.
