If you could be tested daily, you would find that your LT heart rate changes daily (actually it changes more often depending on your current metabolic status, which is influenced by environment, rest, hydration, stresses). This is why a powermeter is much better. It's not influenced by any of those factors. It's a non-idiosyncratic metric compared to heart rate.
