Use your fed programme to educate them then if you can get a few single ups from the coast but a lot is to do with correct feeding and preporation.

race them well at the start of the season then cut back on the racing and give em some training tosses .

the best person to answer this question is someone with decent experience at Chanel races.

Hi alf im not looking to race them lol iwas just wondering it was just puzzling me how they managed to train them to that distance all the best pp

this depends on the distances involved , ie when you say channel races , as these can range

from 280 to 700 miles , if with yearlings for example , i would send them every inland race , if they were only going to the shorter channel races , such as lessay ,  your older birds with experience dont start till maybe the third or fouth inland race ,and sometimes go straight into these with no prior training.

these will have three inlands then the second channel race which wuold be fourgeres

around the 340 mile mark after this you can jump them anywhere , obviosly with a bit of

tittivating here and there
