My wife and I are looking to get Rhaegar into running with us, and I'm 100% OK with waiting on any sustained runs until his growth plates are fused, but I'm curious what other Husky owners think about a 20 min walk/run? For the record, he's 14 weeks at the moment.

We run using the Jeff Galloway method of running for x minutes and walking for y minutes though out our runs. I'm thinking a walk / run ratio to 1:1 for no more than 1 mile and/or 20 minutes on soft surfaces will be OK. We've done this once so far and he's just super happy during / post run it's actually amazing.

So - no more than once per day, 1 mile / 20 min max, at a 1 min on, 1 min off...too much? just right?

Thanks!

The rule is 5 min of sustained walking for every month of age - 15 weeks is almost 4 months would be 5 min X 4 months = 20 minutes. I would not run her yet except for chasing around the yard. Even better is if walking can be done on soft surfaces like grass or woodland trail. A little prevention now will be kind to her joint.
