• In the world of exercise, slow running is the new "big thing", backed by a growing number of new scientific studies.  Here's the latest science on it:
• Slow running is running at a pace that allows you to hold a comfortable conversation
• Scientists say slow running can both improve and extend your life
• According to researchers at Anglia Ruskin University, it reduces resting blood pressure and promotes a stronger heart
• Scientists in Copenhagen found light & moderate joggers had a lower mortality rate than both non-joggers and strenuous runners
• Slow running has a myriad of benefits:

1. Improves the strength & pumping capacity of the heart
2. Boosts your health at the molecular level
3. Fights off metabolic disease by improving insulin resistance
4. Increases density of mitochondria (the energy storers) inside your cells and encourages the body to use fat for energy
5. Makes you feel better

• As the scientists say, slow running gives you all of the gains with less of the pains of running
• As a jogger, I get it.

• A Eotvos Lorand University study has revealed the best way to train dogs.  Here's what we know:
• It was previously believed that emotionally charged social events are better remembered by dogs
• Current research using family dogs and real-life situations has shown the best method to train your dog
• Success measurements show that dogs provided with tangible rewards and emotional support did the best
• Bottom line:  dogs learn better when rewarded with food, praise and petting
• My nephew Weimaraner Brewster may learn best when given treats, petting and praise, but has a convenient learning lapse when asked to abstain from his favorite pastimes like chasing rabbits and stealing food off the counters.  Got to say this 2 yr old Weim is my favorite!
