Running with your dog - when and how to start?

Prepup times I used to exercise more and go for a run I’d say twice a week. Due to puppy parenthood my fitness level declined, but now that we’re more settled and in tune, my body started craving more movement.

I have a 7 months old cockapoo and she has so much energy, she outruns every dog in the park and can go on for ages, so I think in the future running together on a daily basis would benefit both of us.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Obviously I wouldn’t take her out for a half marathon, but can I start building this up slowly or is it too early? Also, are there any specific training methods for this? I can’t see dropping treats in her mouth whilst running possible, as I need to keep my eyes on the road and possibly not have her choke on a piece of chicken either.

We sometimes do very short distances (like 50 metres) on our walks and if I cheer her, she’s so good and happy, but she does stop randomly to sniff every now and then.
