Funny thing is I don't do much based on heart rate other than the biking during a triathlon. Want to make sure I stay around 150/155 during the 56 or 112 miles of biking so the half or full marathon is easily transitioned into and completed.
As far as resting heart rate, after waking up, eating, getting dressed I sit on the throne before heading out and the HR drops to below 40. Figure at almost 64yo, that's not too bad.
