Hi Lee
yes Hills and wind can be taken into consideration, one of the major pointers for runs on an easy day is the emphasis is on recovery, if your pulse is too high it can't be considered as recovery
As you and the training improves all the heart rate data will become of even greater value in avoiding injuries and sickness as well as giving you a clear indicator as to when you in shape.
For example, taking your morning pulse and weight on the day of a race can give a clear indicator for the future of what time you ran on that day and then to compare future results to time and weight.
All this is handy data to have available
Cheers
