Run Faster - 8 week course

Ideal for the intermediate Canicrosser who may have either just completed the couch-5k or are already running 5k distance and would now love to push themselves to new speeds together.

With support from our DogFit Certified Canicross trainer Sarah, you will learn how to run faster with your dog during this 8-week training program. An initial consultation and movement analysis will enable Sarah to collect detailed information on yourself, your dog, what sort of pace you are running together and how much you are already training. With this knowledge of your current level, Sarah will deliver a bespoke plan suited to your needs, to build strength, improve your technique and train smart to run quicker as a team. Weekly check-ins allow the program to be tweaked based on your progress and schedule.
