Bob!
As I was going out for my run I noticed as I put my watch on that my HR was 58 (my measured low was 56) so I sat & rested for a few minutes.
I now have a new RHR of 50!!! down 6 beats from about a year ago.

That's great news, Bob. Now change your calculations because that's dropped your training zones a few beats too, meaning you can run slower for the same effect!

my heart-rate standing at the start line of the Redcar 1/2 was 36bpm , my avg for the race was 152bpm .. when I lay down in bed and sleep it has fallen to 26bpm.. I just thought I would share that with you folks -
good luck if your FLM'ing or racing this week/weekend

Mic, 26 is very impressive!
Interestingly I did Redcar too and got a new max of 195bpm from 192bpm. I got a new pb too. So the hr monitor training is still paying off. I use it for my recovery runs and for progressive hr long runs. It seems to be working!
How did you find Redcar?

Can I ask: what do you mean by adjusting your training zones if your HR changes? I don't understand..
I thought you were supposed to treat the zones as set in stone once you'd done all the max/resting/av/whr calculations, no?

CH75, yes, the training zones are "fixed" relative to your HR, but one of the variables in the calculation is RHR, so in Bob!'s case he needs to re-do the calc with his new lower RHR. This means that the range from RHR to MHR will be a little bit wider and teh limits for easy and hard zones will move down a little bit.
If I've got this all wrong will someone who knows what they're talking about let me know please?

Ah ok - will check my RHR over the next few mornings then. Am sure it's probably come down since Jan.
