Week 3 Saturday

Using a 5:2 ratio from the Galloway system certainly got my heart rate up during this mornings 5 miler. Once I was well into it my heart rate would climb into the low 130's by the end of the 5 minute run cycle before dropping into the low 100's with the 2 minute walk phase. I have been doing a 3:1 ratio mostly on my runs so this was a bit of a shock to my system. The 3:1 ratio is 75% running and the 5:2 ratio is 72% running so they are comparable, but certainly felt different. I covered the same distance in roughly the same time.pace
