@ awesome 🚀 it’s a tough one to place yourself at for that time. If you go too far forward in the queue everyone disappears off but if you go too far back you can get caught in traffic. I always look for people I know who are running a certain speed at the start and try and place myself around them.

How can I get the right tempo? We can jogg side by side for about 2k, but once we put the harness it all or nothing, he goes than hit the harness and lose confidence, than he stops to smell, I try to encourage him and so I forget to breath... I wanted to get into our first 2k race in late october but I can't bridge the jog to the actual canicross. Does that's make sens? Please help.
@thatspottydogruns Ай бұрын
@@danielleemond9209 I think I get what you mean. There are a number of ways you can get the dog to run with more focus and drive. Some simply get someone on a bike to ride out front so they have something to chase. Running with other dogs is also great as they really get the pack mentality and don’t want to stop and sniff. With Dizzy, I did interval training to train this. We started with really short intervals, 200-400m with loads of praise and fun. Then we gradually lengthened them out, he didn’t know we were going further, it just seemed like the same fun thing as always. Also, most dogs generally LOVE to race! Dizzy works a lot harder when we are racing compared to when we are training. So they might surprise you!!! Good luck - let us know how you get on 🖤🤍

Great video. Question: would running with your dog increase or decrease your own standalone 5k pace? In other words would you get lazy as you dog pulls you?
@thatspottydogruns Ай бұрын
Interesting thought. I guess most people will get fitter and quicker as Canicrossing gets them more into running. Biomechanically, running with a dog is good for increasing your cadence too so you might find you get quicker as you are stronger and can move your legs faster. Plus all that cross country mud and hills will help too! But, Psychologically I know a lot of people find dogless running way harder now! So having the ability to push yourself right to the end could be diminished for sure. Of course it's such a different sport to dogless running it's actually tough to say. But most people I know (including world champions!) are getting quicker dogless.

I live in Perth, Australia and our summers are pretty brutal. During hot spells it gets well into the 40's and might not drop below 30 over night. This is our first season doing CaniX and Scooter and our local club but I've been running with my dogs (Field Labradors) for a couple of years now. Even in winter our conditions are marginal for pulling and our racing and training is constantly being revised. The "know your dog" tip is key. Our older girl won't push herself too hard but our boy Merlin is a natural puller and would probably do himself damage if we weren't looking out for him. We go for jogs (out of pulling gear) at 5:30-6:00min/km pace up to about 24-25degrees. We do CaniX in harness in interval sessions out to about 20 but try to keep the pace conservative. Scooter we have less control of his pace. He seems to do a lot better under 10 degrees. We start to alter our plans if the temps are about 12-13. You could never run these temps with a husky but most short coat breeds can be acclimatised over time. My tips are/what I do: -plan your training week around the forecast -never be too far from water - if you are then take water with you. I load up a hydration vest so I can wet the down as we go. -watch their panting rate and learn what is normal for your dog. For Merlin his tongue lolling out the side of his mouth alone is not an indicator, if he has spatula tongue we stop. -if you have a high drive dog that likes to run out in front. The moment it drops back to your heel you need to stop and assess how they are doing. -run early in the morning before the sun is hitting you. lots of 4am starts -every 10-15 minutes wet your dogs down -if you think you dog is too hot then stop, wet them down and walk them back

@thatspottydogruns 3 ай бұрын
@@TITHEAD90 Hi - great you want to get started. My best advice would be to start really short and simple. Make it really fun, and get them pulling for 100-200m with lots of encouragement and praise. Then gradually increase the distances each session. Keeping it short and fun sets the dog up to succeed and will help them learn what you are asking them to do! If you have someone who can go on a bike out front to act as the hare then you might be able to go longer and just keep encouraging them to run out front. Be patient and have fun 🖤🤍

Thanks! And thanks for watching 🖤🤍 we’ve actually since run this course again this year and ran 18:07! I run 5000m on a track in ~18:50-19:00, so teaming up with Dizzy takes a minute to maybe 90 seconds off my time on cross country courses like this. BUT… we are a slight anomaly with it being so close. Some of the men with bigger, faster dogs probably have around 90 seconds - 2 minutes knocked off… and the lighter Women CAN have up to 5 minutes knocked off their time by a powerful well trained racing dog! What type of dog are you running with?

@@thatspottydogruns Thanks for the breakdown, it is greatly appreciated. I am based in Canada and Canicross is just starting to gain traction here so videos like yours are a great help to learning about this sport. I've always ran with a dog but I didn't know they could be run like this. Now that I saw Canicross, I am excited to learn as much as I can!! I'm glad to learn what is realistic to expect by having your dog pull you. Your times are so fast (very impressive BTW) but I'm glad to know that it shaves off only 90-120 seconds. It gives me a more realistic as what to expect once my 50lb Coonhound is fully trained. She is about the size of your handsome Dalmation. That is crazy to learn that it can shave almost 5 mins off a smaller woman's times though. I'll have to get my dog hooked up to my wife once she's more trained :) Thanks so much for making these videos! I loved watching you and your dog during a race.

Oh how amazing! So we actually have a whole video dedicated to top tips for running with your dog in the heat that will definitely help you!! I find that acclimating Dizzy to the warmer weather is vital to being able to get out in the summer. So that means short exposures to warmer running with loads of slower breaks. This is sometimes in just 200m intervals or so. But once he’s acclimated Dizzy can run 5-8km in up to 15/16 degrees. But every dog is individual with heat and I’d definitely recommend being over cautious. I know he can run at 15/16 with no issues whatsoever, so that is my limit. He’d probably be fine closer to 18 but I’m not interested in finding out 🙂
