I've mentioned it here before but fetcheveryone.com (my favourite training log) has a feature of "(heart-)beats per mile" which you can compare for runs at different paces. The lower the number the more efficiently you're running.
Thanks, have been looking for something like this. How do you navigate to that particular chart?

I had to look this up, it's a while since I've monitored HR! In the training log there's a drop-down menu on the notes section. If you go to "Heart" it shows you HR stats including "B/Mi". This will be very individual for different folks but I was always happy to see it ducking below 1,000, and it correlated well with my race times.

I was big on heart rate training as a newbie. If done properly I think it's a great way of disciplining yourself to run within yourself. Crucially, it gives you an objective way of tracking fitness improvements without the need to go out and beat your running times every time.
