A question and an opinion.

 

When you say you are 'training round the roof' are you 'flagging' these birds to make them fly against their will, or are they flying freely?

 

5 races under their belt already. I don't think they need trained to 45 miles.

this week i desided to just fly them round the roof mon to thru morning and evening i dont flag them they fly on ther own free will i was thinking that no to take them anymore 45 milers i was thinking of just leting them fly monday-tuesday-wednsday morning and evening then thursday out in the morning so that they get a good rest.

If they're flying without flagging for 45 minutes around the loft (and you're sure they're not just perching somewhere) then they sound good! I'd recommend feeding them the absolute minimum on their rest day because a hunger will make them perform better when they race and seems to keep them healthier than racing on a full stomach (from my experiences)

If your taking your birds 45 mile twice a week and there flying, 45 minutes everyday, even after there training toss, if you dont win your club id be well surprised,l as they sound like there SUPER fit!
