If you don't have time or inclination to go a further distance you could increase the resistance(add weight) or increase the intensity (speed)BUT if you are cycling on pavement you should try to find a softer surface (easier on joints - especially on a large breed)before you do either one.
Indeed, he runs mainly on pavement. Thank you for the information. Probably I'll go increase the distance, depending on my dog's look :-). He seems to like the ride so far.
you would probably be better off going every other day and make sure the dog has an adequate amount of water with electrolytes and as soon as you are done with the ride some protein and fat as soon as his temp has normalized.the blacktop or concrete every day could become some bad news .dogs do not recover as fast fast as humans from this type of aerobic excersise.check his pulse after each run and keep your speed the same and when his heart starts to work slower then increase by one quarter mile increments goood luck schnauzer man
We cycle every morning, and in the evening we go on a relaxed 2 hours walk. When jumping in the lake, he is rather delighted to get wet than to swim. He doesn't run too much when he plays, so I considered cycling a good option to keep its shape. Never seemed tired, but I'll go check its heartbeat. Good advice with water and protein, I'll remember it, thank you.
And no, I don't want to get a champ out of him, I just need a healthy dog.
