Brenda started running about 6 years ago, after doing a couch to 5k programme, and experiencing what a positive impact running had on her physical and mental health. When Broc the springer spaniel joined their family and they discovered that pulling on the lead was his superpower, it made perfect sense to put that to good use and try canciross! Brenda and Broc both fell in love with the sport, Broc was a natural and this sensitive and often anxious soul has blossomed in the canicross environment, learning that humans can be trusted, harnesses can be tolerated and other dogs can be ignored! Brenda is an England Athletics qualified run leader, and Canifit Certified Canicross Coach. She enjoys finding new and exciting run locations, and doing long, scenic cani-hikes. She has a keen interest in dog behaviour, and especially enjoys supporting those with anxious and fearful dogs. She leads slower paced runs incorporating canicross coaching, and loves encouraging new runners to challenge themselves!
