The best dog for running in my opinion is a Rhodesian Ridgeback. You can't wear them down plus they are tough as hell. If you can make an exception about their size (about the same as a lab).

We have a 105lb four year old male. Gets 20+ miles of road work a week. Usually 6-7 miles at a time. Temps below 60 impossible to run out. Has gone as much as 12 miles in a run but could easily go farther. Laughs at anything below 4 miles. But contrary to popular belief the heat/humidity does affect them in the summer and runs still must be monitored. Will still outlast any other bread in the heat though. They are also immune to most insect bits. These dogs are larger than labs unless you are seriously overfeeding your lab. They are very very high energy. The biggest mistake people make with RR's is they get one because they look cool and are to lazy to work them then have 100+ pounds of muscle bouncing of the walls.
