A red heeler can run as fast as 35 mph and can maintain this speed for five miles. In comparison, the fastest human ever, Usain Bolt, only managed 27.5 mph over 100 meters.
An adult red heeler can safely run 20-40 miles per week. However, to run over long distances and avoid injury, they need to build up to this gradually just as if you were training to run a marathon yourself.
