How's your training going?
As the temps have begun to cool, training has started to increase for many of us. And, what better focus for this than by entering 'THE WINTER LEAGUE'!

The WINTER LEAGUE is a great way to log your training and remain focused over the season.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Simple, you get out and train each month... then you log your fastest runs.
Each month you gain points for being a bit quicker than the last month. Be that by minutes, or seconds...
If you enter a race, you'll gain extra points...

You will never be judged against anyone else... it's purely you versus you!

If you haven't entered yet, you can enter via the link just here...
https://www.canicrosscoaching.com/event-details/the-winter-league

We offer the following distances and classes:
3k,5k,10k
canicross, bikejor, scooter, teams/rigs

Why not join the rest of the crew and get focused this year!!

🐾 Meet Frankie & Tom — a brand-new Canicross team! 💚

We love welcoming new teams into the amazing sport of canicross, and Frankie & Tom are a perfect example of why there isn’t one single reason to get started.

Tom came to us for a one-to-one session two weeks ago after adopting Frankie, a Romanian rescue. 🐕🇷🇴

He was looking for a way to build a bond with Frankie, give them something positive to do together AND keep up his own fitness.

And that’s exactly where a one-to-one can be so valuable.

Your session can be completely tailored around you and your dog.

For some teams, that means starting right at the beginning with:

🐾 An introduction to canicross
🎽 Kit fitting and equipment guidance
🏃‍♂️ Core running skills
🐕 Working together as a team
🌲 Building confidence on the trails

For others, we can work towards specific goals or targets — whether that’s improving technique, preparing for an event, increasing distance, or simply becoming more confident running together.

There really isn’t a “one size fits all” approach.

Your dog is an individual. You’re an individual. Your coaching should be too.

And Frankie? Well, he’s already looking like he’s very much enjoying his new adventure with Tom! 🥰

Welcome to the CANICROSS COACHING family, Frankie & Tom. 💚

Who knows where this first run together might take you?

TALK TUESDAY...
Your dog does NOT need to run every kilometre of every run you do.

There. We said it. 😂

Sometimes the best thing for your dog is a shorter, quality canicross session — and sometimes you need to run without your dog.

Because your training and your dog’s training aren’t necessarily the same thing.

Your dog might need:
🐾 More recovery
🐾 Less impact
🐾 A shorter session
🐾 More skill work
🐾 A rest day

And you might need:
🏃‍♀️ More mileage
🏃‍♀️ A steady run
🏃‍♀️ Intervals
🏃‍♀️ A hill session
🏃‍♀️ Or simply some time to run at your own pace.

Canicross is a partnership — but that doesn’t mean you have to do absolutely everything together.

👇 Agree or disagree?

Would you ever deliberately leave your dog at home so you can complete your own training?

🌲 Sometimes you just need to run…

There’s something about heading out onto a trail with your dog that makes the rest of the world feel a little quieter.

No emails.
No jobs to do.
No endless to-do list.
Just you, your dog and the trail ahead. 🐾

Running outdoors can be a brilliant way to clear your head, move your body and create a little breathing space in a busy day. And when your dog is beside you, there’s an added connection — you’re not just exercising, you’re doing something together.

And then there are those magical runs where you find flow…

You settle into your rhythm.
Your dog finds theirs.
The miles tick by.

And suddenly you’ve finished — and you realise you can’t quite remember what you were worrying about before you started.

That’s one of the things we love most about canicross. ❤️

It gives you the opportunity to get outside, explore new trails and discover places you might never have visited otherwise — all while building fitness, confidence and a stronger bond with your dog.

And canicross doesn’t have to look the same for everyone.

At CANICROSS COACHING, we support people with different abilities, different starting points, different goals and different needs.

Whether you’re looking to improve your fitness, start running for the first time, manage your pace and distance, or simply find something that makes you feel good…

there’s a place for you and your dog here. 🐕‍🦺💚

Want to know more?

📩 DM us or visit our website!

Get outside. Find your trail. Find your flow.

🐾 What’s the biggest difference CANICROSS COACHING has made to you and your dog?

We asked some of our recent Couch to 5K graduates this question — and their answers really say it all. ❤️

💬 “I have belief in my ability to run and push myself. I am fitter and healthier and mentally happier — the same goes for my dogs.”

💬 “I am now running without pain. That has been the biggest game changer for me. I ran with pain for so many years and never felt like I could progress.”

And THIS is why we coach. 🐕‍🦺🏃‍♀️

Couch to 5K isn’t simply about getting you from walking to running 5K.

It’s about building confidence, fitness, resilience and belief in yourself — while learning how to run safely and effectively with your dog.

Seeing our athletes discover that they CAN run, watching their dogs grow in confidence, and helping them achieve things they never thought possible is what makes it so rewarding. 💚

🎃 Our next Couch to 5K block starts this October!

That means you could go from “I don’t think I can run” → Couch to 5K graduate BEFORE CHRISTMAS! 🎄🐾

If you’ve been thinking about starting, this is your sign.

📩 Drop us a message or head to CANICROSS COACHING to find out more about the next block.

You don’t need to be a runner. You just need to be ready to start.

🐾 **CANICROSS ISN’T ALWAYS ABOUT RUNNING FAST!** 🐾

At **Canicross Coaching**, our regular group walks are an important part of helping both dogs and owners develop the skills they need to enjoy canicross confidently.

These walks give everyone the opportunity to practise those key canicross skills at a **slower, more controlled pace** — without the pressure of racing.

🐕 **Practise your calls** – giving owners the chance to work on the timing and consistency of their commands.

🐕 **Work around other dogs** – helping dogs learn to work comfortably in close proximity to others while maintaining focus.

🐕 **Build confidence** – giving newer dogs and handlers a supportive environment in which to learn.

🐕 **Learn from experienced teams** – confident, experienced dogs can demonstrate the behaviours we want to see, providing some brilliant four-legged role models for our newer recruits.

And the best bit? **Everyone gets the opportunity to train, whatever their pace or experience level.** 💚

This walk was a fantastic example of how much can be achieved when we take the pressure off speed and concentrate on developing the foundations.

Sometimes, slowing things down is exactly what your dog needs to move forward. 🐾

**Canicross Coaching** provides practical, supportive coaching for runners and their dogs, helping you build the skills, confidence and partnership to enjoy canicross together.

We hold relevant permissions to train in many local locations, including the gorgeous forest at Sherwood Pines.
