Can my dog (with seizures) also be a running buddy???

Hi everyone,
Our dog Theo started having seizures right before his second birthday back in February. Since then we’ve started and increased his phenobarbital, and then eventually added potassium bromide. We also got an MRI and bloodwork both of which are all clear. His seizures are almost always in the evening or at night and occur in clusters.

Theo is an energetic boy who likes to be active. I recently started running again and brought him along with me for a few morning runs. In my opinion, they seem to help manage some of his energy in the evenings and I wonder if this can help with seizure management. But then I did some googling and it said that it’s not recommended for dogs with seizures to be running partners.

I’m just looking to find out if anyone on here has a dog with seizures who is also their running buddy.
Thanks for the input!
