Social media is full of tips and tricks, like one from this woman, who shares how to complete a long-distance run with two large dogs—but not in the way you'd expect.

During the Instagram clip captioned: "Family runs made possible," she can be seen running through a woodland followed by her two Bernese mountain dogs. However, they aren't running, they are being chauffeured along in a stroller attached to a bike.

Research published in the Journal of Physical Activity & Health, has previously revealed that dog owners are more active than those without a pooch. The study results found that people who have a canine companion are four times more likely to meet the weekly physical activity guidelines recommended by the CDC.

But that doesn't always mean the dog is necessarily active too, as seen in the video, which has 618,000 views on Instagram (@doublefluftrouble). In the caption, the owner states the breed isn't cut out for "this kind of activity due to their heavy build."

According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), females like Marie and Rosie can weigh anywhere between 70 and 95 pounds. They also grow to be 23 to 26 inches tall.

While they are an active breed, they also have an extremely thick double coat meaning it's extra hot during high temperatures. The owner, who lives in Belgium, states it was 25 degrees on the day of filming, so they decided the stroller was the best option.

"We stopped at the river so the girls could swim (and I could catch my breath)," she wrote in the caption, which is one way suggested by the AKC to cool down a dog on a hot day.

"This is incredible!" said one user and another wrote: "They are smart."

A third commenter said: "Sometimes, when I run, I also think that I was not made for this kind of activity."

Running Safely With Your Dog

Newsweek reached out to Joe Nutkins, a kennel club accredited dog trainer based in the UK.

She said: "Bear in mind that off-lead dogs often come back to check in with us, meaning they cover much more distance overall. A 5k run on-lead with you could actually result in your dog running 10k or more off-lead, so consider incorporating more rest days between runs or shortening the distance and gradually building up."

Nutkins has provided the following tips for owners who would like to run with thier furry friends.

• Ensure your dog's lead is the right length for comfortable running, avoiding overly long leads for road runs.
• Warm up your dog before running to prepare their muscles, tendons and joints for the physical activity.
• Training your dog with commands like "steady" and "slow down" can help prevent injury.
• Consider the terrain, as harder surfaces affect joints more, and softer surfaces may require more breaks.

For owners who would prefer to run with their dog off the lead, Nutkins advises against busy areas.

Nutkins has also given tips for owners who prefer to run with their dogs without a lead:

• Check your running route for potential hazards like road entrances or busy areas to prevent your dog from getting into a tricky situation.
• Stay aware of your dog's location, even when using earphones, and work on recall to avoid issues with other people or dogs.
• Warm up and cool down your dog during runs, watching for changes in movement that could indicate discomfort or injury.
• If your dog is off-lead with a long line, monitor for anything the line might catch on to prevent sudden jolts or injuries.
• Remember to call your dog back for water breaks, as they may not stop to drink when excited.
