There's no going back now - your dogs will be grumpy if they don't get out for their runs now!

I run with one dog. I run, he walks, even though his legs are short. At the start, I was glad when he stopped for a sniff or whatever during my 1 minute runs, as it was an excuse to stop- 1 minute of running was tough-now I sometimes leave him behind so he doesn't interrupt my pace 🤣always take him for a walk afterwards though 🐕 he gets so excited when he sees the running gear going on!

Congratulations. You have done the hard part and that’s starting. Keep us updated as I find everyone on this forum is so inspiring and they really help us newbies to keep going!

Awesome👍🏻 my cocker is a lazy toad so is the worst running partner hence my user name RunWillie. I’m replacing him with a proper running buddy in 10 years 🤣

That’s good, you’re on your way! I am on W3 run 2 so just a little bit on from you. I take my dog too she seems to enjoy even in the rain ☔️!

Well done you. It’ll be a journey, but a very satisfying one. I always select a treat for the kitchen window as I round the bend on my way home. A Custard Slice is my favourite!
