When you exercise try to stay in heartrate zone 2/3. This may mean walking up a hill as many people cannot start running and keep their heart rate down. Many who try to run get discouraged as they go too hard and blow up their heartrate which makes for a unpleasant experience.
Over time the speed and duration you can run will get better but your heart rate will stay the same.
I would recommend trail running as it is much more dynamic and you are less likely to get overuse injuries like people who run on concrete for many miles get stress fractures. Bonus points you get out in nature.
Im not sure what you are trying to get at? I 100% can run faster and longer than I did a few years ago, but my heart rate stayed in the same zone when running?

"People who are just starting out" may experience "blow up their heart rate" as unpleasant; and then they learn to expect a faster heart rate when they run.
These days my running heart rate peaks at 3.5x my at-rest heart rate.
