We love bringing you canicross stories from our community, and in this episode Louise and Michelle chat to Sara McCarthy about how her second canicross season with her 'rocket dog' spaniel Logan is going. Sara has thrown herself into many cani-sports so far, to keep her working cocker spaniel Logan engaged and well exercised.

We chat about their first experience of dog triathlon at Tri Dog, as well as their training for their upcoming (first) ultra marathon.

Sara embodies the spirit of feeling the fear and doing it anyway!

In this episode, Louise and Michelle quiz podiatrist Kate Hammond about all those things you've always wanted to ask about looking after your feet, but have been too embarrassed or squeamish to ask.

We cover:

• What size shoes to buy
• Does gait analysis matter?
• Socks
• Blister prevention and treatment
• Athlete's foot
• Losing a toenail
• Plantar fasciitis

It's a fascinating episode, and we certainly learned loads!

In this episode, Louise and Michelle catch up with Duncan and Dizzy the Dalmatian about what they've been up to since we last spoke 2 years ago! There's also a new greyster, Peggy, in the family!
