I've been going late at night on a push bike just a steady pace. Keep her routine of being nocturnal lol

Started at 3 mile as she had abit of a break at end of season but now up to 7 mile eventual get her to 10-12 miles probably just before season but always with free running during the day don't believe just bike is sufficient

This time of year mine just get free running, anything from half an hour upto 2 hours depending on how much time i have, once august gets here they'll be ran behind the motor of an evening every other night starting slow and build up to about 10 miles then come end of september they'll be raring to go but nothing gets them in better shape than actually working :)

the real secret is to know your dog (dogs)........ some eat better, condition easily, some walk well others hate it, a lot depends on the feeding regime, the weather plays its part, how old are they ? (younger dogs condition easier) how are they bred? ( saluki and deerhound x's need different work from a collie x) what kind of land you hunt etc etc etc don't let them get bored, i use ball work in the park and beach depending on the time of day or weather, roadwork and massage play a big part as does the speed of the work, an hour in the woods working cover and catching ferret food does no harm, swimming is good but don't overdo it, some folk swear by bikework.........if only it was as simple as x amount of miles

What do you mean by run them....if your on about lamping then it depends how long it takes to get her fit. If your on about until you can get them free running off the lead, well its just little at a time until she fit and step it up at as the fitness comes on. Only you knows that mate...she your bitch.

 

Little and often, little and often
