Canicross

I've been catching up on some reading - including some good articles by The Gear Junkie, Stephen Regenold.

Described as a "turbo-charged run", the average athlete can shave minutes off their times while Olympic caliber sprinters in European events have recorded times 5 - 10% faster than running alone.
