Yes - you'll just be going faster for the same heartrate. Your recovery should improve and your resting heart rate may be a bit lower but you'll still have a similar heart rate when you race. If this worries you - ditch the monitor.

Your heart rate sounds fine to me, my max is around 192 and I'd average about 180-185 for 5-10K and about 190 across the line.

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?

I run close to my max on 5k's as I'm sure most of us here will do , my max is around 198 and my last 5k I ran an average of 187. There's nothing wrong with having a high heart rate during a race, it shows you're working hard. If your heartrate gets lower during races it's because you're not running as fast as you're capable of.
