For the HR plans I'm having hard time "reading" them. 

 

For instance I can read the swim instructions but the bike ones throw me for a loop:

 

 

Bike ME 
Muscular Endurance 
50 
WU: 15' - Warm up 15 minutes
MS: 5x3' w/ 1' RI Main Set, 5 tasks??, 3 minutes each
#1 End at low Zn 3 
#2 End at middle Zn 3 
#3 End at upper Zn 3 
#4 End at lower Zn 4 
#5 Build to Zn 4 in first 45s and hold 
CD: 15' - Cool down 15 minutes

 Are you supposed to get your heart rate up thru hills or through speed?

If you have hills, then great, you can do it on the hills with a combination of gearing/cadence to get your HR into those zones.

Most won't have decent hills I would imagine, so using a trainer or just on the flat roads using gearing/cadence to increase your effort level to bring your HR up.  It will require some experimentation first, but after you have done it a few times you should have an idea on the gearing/cadence to get the HR up.

thanks, I was thinking that a lot of HR on the bike is best on the trainer!
