    Canicross Story: Sara and Logan (Episode 151)

    We love bringing you canicross stories from our community, and in this episode Louise and Michelle chat to Sara McCarthy about how her second canicross season with her 'rocket dog' spaniel Logan is going. Sara has thrown herself into many cani-sports so far, to keep her working cocker spaniel Logan engaged and well exercised. We chat about their first experience of dog triathlon at Tri Dog, as well as their training for their upcoming (first) ultra marathon. Sara embodies the spirit of feeling the fear and doing it anyway!
