So we've teamed up with Assex for a bonus three episode mini series of the Running Channel podcast, which I am so excited about because this episode, it is my turn.

So each of us has taken the other two on our favourite everyday escape run.

And we're going to bring you along to let you know what happened. And it is time to reveal what happened on my everyday escape run. And we're going to bring you along to let you know what happened.

And it is time to reveal what happened on my everyday escape. Ready?

Oh, well, we know. So we're ready. We know. And it had far too big a dog on this one.

I genuinely have never laughed so hard as we left today.

So my perfect everyday escape, and this has come at a perfect time because my dog Herbert has just turned old enough to be able to start running. And I am overjoyed about it.

We are starting couch to 5K. And so as I had 15 minutes to take you

guys on a wonderful run, I thought who better to bring along with me than Herbert for a beautiful

run out in the fields behind my house? Is he trained? He is trained, yeah. One thing to note about

Herbert, he's a wirehead visler. He is 28 kilograms heavy. I did a few

tests with him before I started teaching him to run. And in the first test, I just jogged

alongside him and waited for him to break from a kind of brisk walk into a run. And the point

at which he broke into a run was 350 per kilometre pace. My gosh. So this time... As you weren't going that pace. He just went straight up to that pace. That was just his run. Yeah. Yeah. So I decided to let Rick and Andy have a go with Herbert towing them along from the waistbelt. How did you find it? Well, first off, just before that, you were playing into my hands with the fields. Yeah, when you're like, oh, we're going to go look at some fields. I was like, here, here we go. Because I felt like I had to convince you guys a little bit on the trail stuff. Yeah, I think I'm very biased. Obviously, we live in the same county. Do we live in the same county? we live in the same county yeah central bed for

shit oh just bed for sure in general but i think central bedfordshire is the like the governing body

that um the local borough or the council or whatever that looks after things like looks after things like

bins and roads be very exciting yeah so we have an abundance of fields yeah we do loads of fields loads of fields. But yeah, so you were on board with the fields. I'm on board with the fields. And I was on board with Herbert, who was frisky. Is that the right word? Frisky. Maybe it's not the right word. He was keen to run. He was 10 out of 10. So he was supposed to go into daycare. So he had a daycare amount of energy,

which I thought was perfect to come out on a little run. You strapped him to Rick first,

didn't you? And this is the funniest moment of the last few months for me. I mean, one,

because you always call him Harold rather than Harold. Harold back here. No wonder he wasn't

listening to me. Yeah, you've got him on kind of a bungee rope. I was just thinking if he runs a three minute 50 per kilometer, I know some people always say, why do we talk in kilometres when they have miles in the UK? I don't know, we just do. That's a 19 minute 5K. He runs a 1910. He runs a 19 minute 5K. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He's not quite up to a full 5K yet, though. He looks faster than that. Yeah, they can go like 25, 30 miles an hour to speed. Not 5K, but yeah. Only you've never felt the thrust of being pulled by a German, by a head, frizzy, bizler. Bizzler. Hang on a minute. Hungarian. You've never felt the thrust of being pulled by a... What are you talking about? I've never felt... The best thing as well is that because... Why do you time to me? So the running lead... I don't dislike dogs. Don't like them.

I don't dislike them.
