You left out the age of Apollo - five months old, I believe. I wouldn't regulate runs of a quarter of a mile for my five month old. But playing in a park and on the beach and running and racing about for a length of time would probably equate to your practice. There are no advantages to be gained in running a five month old dog for certain distances. Corgis of any age are not the kind of dogs to go running with on lengthy jogs or while the handler is riding a bike. Taylor is often off-lead and he'll run if he wants to - but it is not regulated. I don't deliiberately run him as such for aglity training but we do sprints and we do hill work and we fast walk/power walk for at least an hour a day, and off-lead he can run if he wants to or race ahead of me or get behind and do a catch up.
