Heidi often trains with her running partner and dog Sol (Sun) who features in her social media posts.

In this episode Heidi provides information you'll need to train your dog to run with you. And how to make your run enjoyable and rewarding for both you and your dog. We discuss the following:

  • What breed to get as not all dogs are made for running;
  • When to start running. What can you do with the puppy to prepare them for becoming a runners dog;
  • Training plan and rest days;
  • Dealing with common injuries, musculoskeletal problems;
  • Weather – cold, hot, protection gear, clothes, paw protection;
  • Planning nutrition pre, post and during long runs;
  • Plus much more.
