Most dogs from this breed will have no problem reaching speeds of 45 miles per hour or faster. Energy Levels The high energy English Cocker Spaniel is an energetic breed that requires plenty of exercise and play each day to prevent destructive behaviors. When you look at the Basset Hound, you definitely do not see speed. At only 20 inches high, this canine is still 55 — 85 pounds. The short answer is yes.
Spaniel breeds—including Cockers, Sprockers, and Springers—are all superb running partners because of their energetic personalities. If well-trained to walk on a lead, they can run beside you at most paces.
So, here are a few ideas. It would be best if you remembered that Springer Spaniels are one of the most intelligent dog breeds. This intelligence comes with immense curiosity. For these reasons, you should always keep an eye on your Springer Spaniel while running, especially if you do not have them on a leash which is not advisable. You might find that your Springer Spaniel can get easily distracted by even the slightest sounds, sites, and smells.
You want to train them to be focused on you and the activity they are busy doing rather than drifting off. This section applies to all dogs when taking them on walks, jogs, or runs. You want your Springer Spaniel to know that you are in charge. Your Springer Spaniel must follow you. It is also essential that you train your dog to run at your pace. The last thing you want is for your dog to be pulling you. It might seem harmless at first, but there will come a time when your dog thinks they are in charge, which can become problematic for you and your dog.
To sum up my final thoughts, I would say that taking your Springer Spaniel for a run every now and then is great for both of you. However, you must know what you are doing before you go on your run. Always keep a lookout for pedestrians and vehicles on the road. With all of that being said, remember to have fun.

I have a 4 year old yellow lab that starts running circles around the house anytime he sees me or my wife put on our running shoes.
We eased him into it and he didnt do any running really before he was two but now he has gone up to 24 miles with me. He typically runs on a leash connected to a belt that I wear and just trots by my side the whole time. Like others have said in the winter months I take him on a lot longer runs then in the summer. I always share my water with him as well and in the summer I have a couple of mile loops that head by a couple of streams where I let him jump in for a minute.
Swimming is probably the only thing that he loves even more then running. My other dog a German Sheppard mutt on the other hand hides the second I start putting on my shoes. He is like there is no way that you are going to drag me outside to go do a silly thing like run.
