Workouts
	Workout A (30-minute session) The session will begin with a 5-minute warm-up.  The warm-up gives your dog a chance to stretch his legs and get his cardiovascular system pumping.  Also, this provides your dog the opportunity to take a "potty break" before the more strenuous portion of the workout begins.  After the warm-up, your dog will transition into a jog/run for a duration of 20 minutes.  The pace will be determined by the dog runner, who will gauge your dog's fitness level at the onset of the run and throughout the workout.  In general, dog runners will maintain a 9 to 10-minute / mile pace.  The session will conclude with a 5-minute cool down period to allow your dog's heart rate to settle.  He will also have another opportunity for a "potty break."  The cool down period is designed to safely transition your dog from a high-intensity activity level to a low-intensity activity level.  When he returns home, your dog will definitely be ready for his afternoon nap!
	Workout B (45-minute session) This session will generally follow the same structure as Workout A (described above).  After the 5-minute warm-up, however, the dog will run for 30 minutes.   Again, the dog runner will assess your dog's fitness level throughout the workout, but will aim to run a 9 to 10-minute / mile pace.  After the 30-minute run, the dog runner will slow the pace down considerably for a 5-minute cool down jog.  Here, the dog will transition from a high-intensity activity level to a medium-intensity activity level, before beginning the 5-minute walk to conclude the session.  This will provide a more comprehensive cool down for your dog after the longer run.  Upon returning to his home, your dog will no doubt be looking forward to a long rest...you may even find him sound asleep when you arrive home after a day at the office!
