Sorry but I don't accept an argument that Czechoslovakian wolfdogs are like sleddogs breeds. Everyone should know its dog and its limits. If your dog or Siberian Husky with winter coat gets tired because of run in 20 C then it doesn't mean this will happen with my wolfdog. I know what is pushing up to the limits but the run with the estimate time of 12km/h is not near the limits. I can tell you that my dogs trott at the speed of 15-16km/h (they can trott on some distance even with the speed of 18-19km/h) so 12km/h is not a run for them but a SLOW WALK. I assume the times of 3:20h for 40km did already include different weather conditions because in winter a wolfdog should be able to do such distance in less than 2:50h.
If you would like to know what is pushing to the limits then look at the achievement of Eskon Foncorda which did 100km in 6:13h !!!
