Running training program

elf · 29-10-2007, 11:10

Hello,

We are going to start running regularly with Voltcha (15 months), thanks for your comments/corrections about this training program:

Speed = 12 kms/h

Weeks 1->4: 30min 2x/week
Weeks 5->8: 45min 1x/week ; 30min 1x/week
Weeks 9->12: 45min 2x/week
Weeks 12->16: 45min-1h 2-3x/week

Which changes in alimentation, + 15% ? Addition of some elements ?
Balsam for paws ?
Anything else to think about ?

Thanks

Anthony

My friend Miguel is doing CaniCross with his csw female. Please have a look at his homepage www.wolfdogclub.de and you will find - I think - some help how to train. Amie is doing really good pulling him over the race track for about 3 to 6 km. He is member of the spanish national teamChristian

Hi Anthony,

remember your walk with Voltcha and Furcas; they certainly run more than half an hour - without balsam

Out of curiosity - who speeds 12 km/h? You or your bike?

regards,
Angelika

I do

... well, I was doing a while ago. I plan a marathon in some months and I would like to do it with Voltcha.

What about running on asphalt ? I think to the paws but it's also rather traumatic for articulations ... simply to avoid ?

BRAVO!!!

My dogs run 6-7 km on asphalt (and I cycle

) - no problems.

Botis ran 100 km on asphalt (did you see the pic of him and Przemek?) and his paws were all right.

Voltcha is a C S W

We began our first session this afternoon, as guessed it seemed rather easy to her. It was very plesant, nothing compare running alone, we share one more thing together.

I bet someone won't annoy me tonight

I guess the point would be: how to make her not getting bored after running one hour or more ?

I just started training for SVP1(40km) with Uno by method mentioned by Elf in another Thread and have some questions about the exam :

Must the dog run in front of the owner or is it okey if the dog run next to the owner ?

Must the dog run in "gallop" or must it run in "trot" ...or is both paces okey(I am not sure if I used the right terms, but hope that you will understand what I mean anyway) ?

Greetings Rolf

Hello Rolf,

the dog can run next you and he is allowed to trot, to pace and to gallop-all movements/speeds are fine.
You will find out really quick what speed/which movement is most comfortable for your dog. See you

Kerstin

Hi Kerstin

Thanks a lot for your answer

The average speed for "excellent" note in SVP1-3 is 12km/h and it usually is equal to a slow trot of a wolfdog. Motivated wolfdog in good condition and with long legs can trot even up to 18-20km/h. Basically trot is the desired way of movement because the dog is able to trot for much longer distance than in gallop and wastes less energy - very important on longer distances.

If you plan to do long distance training on a regular basis then don't forget to increase amount of proteins and fat in the daily diet of your dog since fat is the main source of energy by long training and proteins help maintain muscles.

Thanks a lot for the advise Przemek

...Uno is usually trotting when we train for long distance run, but for short distances he sometimes gallop !
