## Resource

Do you ever feel like you're working incredibly hard when you run, but not getting much speed in return? In this episode, we're diving into a concept I call energy leaks—the movement habits that quietly steal speed, increase fatigue, and make sprinting feel far harder than it needs to. Many handlers assume they need more fitness, more conditioning, or more miles. Sometimes that's true. But often the biggest opportunity isn't producing more effort—it's wasting less of the effort you're already producing. We'll explore why efficiency matters, how small movement errors compound over time, and why the same principles we use to improve our dogs' performance also apply to our own movement. I'm excited to be teaching a brand-new class through FDSA called Fix Your Sprint. Over three weeks we'll identify the most common sprint mistakes I see, learn how to recognize them in your own movement, and discuss practical strategies to improve efficiency, speed, and confidence while running. The class includes: ☑️ A 30min webinar ☑️ Practical sprint fixes you can implement immediately ☑️ Video review opportunities ☑️ Written coaching and discussion ☑️ Three short sprint workouts per week Class starts July 1st! Join me at FDSA and let's make running feel faster, smoother, and more efficient. Register here: https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/courses/53018
