labsnlurchers 39 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Is it at full fitness? What have you been doing to get it to full fitness? There is a good post written by mistwalker, ill see if i can find it for you and post it on here. cramp/stitch and exhaustion could be the problem but as above i would go to the vets if your not 100% sure.

That should give you a bit of an idea on getting him fit for running because walking wont get his muscles trained for running, he needs to do some sprinting as well as roadwalking once hes had the all clear from the vet.
