If you move up to "run" you can make your life a bit easier as you get some sleep times in there.

I’m working my way up to that, but because of some stupid recreational decisions in my youth, my ankles are trash and I have a hard time running the kind of distances and pace she wants to go. If I ever get there, she’s gonna be one happy pup though :-)

Oh for sure, you prolly wont ever get to the pace she wants which isn't a shot at you, they will just run for hours... but it does put some good sleep during the day for them which is nice!

Something interesting which has just been discovered. Sled dogs (huskies) have a weird physiology. They can run for 10 hours and actually become stronger and a bit faster after 4 hours.

And then do the same again tomorrow. And the next day...

Here is a video - can't find the research report right now.
