Cadence vs Heart Rate

Hi all, first post here.

I recently purchased a Polar RS200 and used the Polar Personal Trainer website to come up with a fitness program. The recommendation of this training program is to maintain 90-100 rpm in a 60-70% of max HR (Zone 2). My problem is that as soon as get above 80 rpm, my HR goes over into the 70-80% range.

Will this improve with time? Should I keep the RPMs down in order to maintain the HR or should I disregard the HR and focus on the rpm in hopes that my efficiency will increase?

I am so confused...

Oh, i am also very new to road cycling
