Today we chat to Lara Trewin. Lara adopted Tilly, her German Shorthaired Pointer, from Spain 4 years ago, and never expected her to completely transform her life by leading her to canicross. Canicross has helped Lara not only to form a strong bond with her nervous rescue Tilly, but it has also led her to a new career as a canicross instructor with DogFit UK. We chat to Lara about the ups and downs of adopting a rescue dog, and how canicross has been transformative for them both.

Throughout December, Lara and Tilly are running every day to raise funds for the charity that rescued her from a Spanish pound. You can follow the link to donate to SeBPRA here, and all money raised will go directly to those dogs being helped by SeBPRA for all shelter, medical and food needs

You can follow Lara on her Facebook page or Instagram page, or visit her website.
