Poodles are the best running dogs!
My 12 year male poodle and I have been running together since we got him. He is a 12 pound mini. Larger dogs don't seem to be able to run for as many years as my mini. We run 3-4 miles a day 5 days a week or so. We recently got a toy puppy (female) 8lbs... Ok, 12 year old Noah is slowing down a bit, but 8 Month old Reily, is as enthuasistac as Noah ever was.
My father in law told me a story about people out west who had a minature poodle that went 20 miles often with them. They went on horseback and the poodle jogged along. There is something about smaller dogs being light on their feet that enables them to go forever!
