Why don't you get them to stop halfway and do 50 miles ;D

[Guest Davy Fleming]

Would not dream of taking them that distance mate (only my opinion) would say when they are ready for a bit of distance  going to 50 miles max is very good and don't see any benefit of any extra distance ;)

[mac1]

would never send them 5 times,my mate drives a wagon and has game on stopping so he says :-/

A training toss of around an hour (40-55 mile depending on the wind) on the wing 2-3 times a week wouldn't hurt. A one off training toss of 100 mile as preparation for a race wouldn't hurt neither but as a regular thing I would say is a no-no.

young birds 100 miles every 2 days yep no problem 5 days a big no no old birds at most 50 miles twice a week my old birds get 2 or 3 chucks thats it no more just fly round loft

[thomasd]

or right from what i was told 50 miles 3 times a week keep them fit and if they fly for 1 hour around the loft morning and evening everyday keeps the fit

[thomasd]

and you want your pigeon to enjoy the training and not to be sicken

[Guest mick bowler]

Theres so many different reasons to train and so many different ways, it depends what you are trying to achieve. That sort of distance is ok as a prep for a big race or long race, no good for sprint races IMO.

 

I never used to train as all the top flyers used to tell me their birds get fit around the house. It was then strange when i would pass them same lads out at 5am when i did train.

30 mls 2wice  wk would be fine tues and thurs plenty  exercise in between for racing wednesday nd saturday,imo

[Guest bigda]

you would only expose your birds to percey to much, and would end up not racing home but  just homing when it was safe to go
