and sorry to keep posting, and don't mean to harp, but you really need a harness to do this. Your dog is basically choking itself when using a collar, and there is a chance for permanent damage, vocal cords, trachea, etc. I've also found having the harness, as we only use it for doing this, allows my dog to associate harness with going for a ride, which in my mind also limits her actually "pulling" on the leash to really only when she has her harness on.
Worst crash is when they take an unexpected bathroom break for sure. I do this with my dog nearly on a daily basis, great way to get them a quick and fun run, and getting a ride in for yourself.
