This was the reason we started C25k back in October - so dog could join the happy hounds of the Cani-fit runners who charge around our woodland trails... well, we’ve done our training and graduated today!! My graduation pressie is another pair of running shoes, dog’s pressie is booking on for a month of Cani-fit in January!!! Can’t wait!!!

For anyone just starting out on this incredible program, or for all those making their way through the weeks, WELL DONE for giving yourself this amazing gift!

I was always said I couldn’t run... got that wrong!!!

It doesn’t matter if you don’t manage it in 9 calendar weeks, it doesn’t matter if you have runs that don’t go to plan, tech failures, feet failures, health and weather interventions... you’re still doing it no matter how long it takes or how many practice runs you make....we’re all RUNNERS!!! So, wear your trainers with pride and enjoy every step👍😁👟👟

Congratulations!

Have a great time with the canicross. So many graduates feel a little lost once they finish C25k but you are not going to have that issue 😊

Enjoy your new found running freedom with your furry friend 🐕🏃‍♀️ x

Thanks! I will keep checking in with this site as well as joining the consolidation club to help me along until I’ve properly got the hang of things 👍

I completed the c25k last year and did my first charity 5k canicross race a week later. I was knackered but recovered really quickly. At times I was pulling my dog(she only weighs 10kg and doesn't really pull in harness 🤦‍♀️) but I was really chuffed we did it.

Wow now that’s really great! What a way to start your post grad running! Have you Cani-crosses since?
