5K Training Guide: Running with Dogs
Running your first 5K is a great way to fulfill your need to lose a few pounds, get fit and do something fun while beginning a new healthier lifestyle. Training for a 5K with your dog is a huge motivational advantage. You have a built in running partner that is ready to go every single time - rain or shine, day or night. "There's something about registering for an event that makes you accountable," says Clough. Having a race goal keeps you motivated and gives your workouts purpose. Having a canine training partner keeps them fun. 5Ks, often advertised as "fun runs", usually include run/walk categories, making them a comfortable place to start. Your first race should be something that builds motivation to continue on the path you have started towards a healthier life for you and your dog. Let’s get moving!
