bristol tim 135 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 i used to course greyhounds in the cotwold courseing club a fair few years back, i started road walking 3- 5 miles every day, about 6 weeks before the season started just to break them in gently then i got on my bike and got them running, 2-3miles every day, racing on a track is different to coursing but its always better to make sure there fit, saves on injurys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
