Quick blast through the woods

Met up with a couple of Canicross buddies for a run this morning. I took my daughter's beagle, while daughter toddled off with her little boy and my Spaniel (she's getting better every day, but not allowed to do too much).

Both the ladies I was with are faster than I am (51/2-6min/k pace), so we did quite a lot of short sharp runs with walk breaks, which I am totally counting as an interval training session.

Ultimately we only ran just over 4K, but I really feel like I had a workout.

Sounds good! It's exhilarating trying to keep up with faster runners like that. Plus I can picture the dogs all really getting into it too. Will you be doing that again?

Absolutely. Might have to wait for the weather to be more consistently cool, for the dogs though.

It really is! Especially when you know that, on the flat, I trundle along at somewhere between 7 & 71/2 min/k.

Phew, bit quick for me, I would definitely be puffing at that speed! Well done for keeping up.

I only just kept up; the walk breaks definitely helped 👍
