Old bird evaluation

[Buster121]

Good update there Andy and some fine looking birds that have performed well under some difficult circumstances, maybe some all points training at start of season may help them especially with all the switching, have you started training the babies yet

[Buster121]

That is good, only 4 x10 milers as well, I used to get mine no less than 50 miles at least 3 times per week started off at 20 then 30 those were every day except weekend once 50/60 reached then 3 times week, when racing was 2 x 50 milers unless midweek racing then just one

I must admit Buster I have never been one for training. Call me lazy if you want lol. I never used to train my old birds at all apart from possibly one or two short tosses pre season and youngbirds I never trained much but pretty much gave up training them when I was down in Bodmin Cornwall in the 90s. I would have to go over Bodmin moor and drive about half an hour to get a 5 mile toss and lost so many training that I gave up. I won the Cornish Combine twice in a fortnight from Rennes 200+ miles and had the only bird in race time from Pau 500+ miles plus often taking the first 6 in the club with birds that weren’t trained. I was still winning regularly with youngbirds and old birds without training so have tended to continue the same. I am limited to time and can only really train first thing in the morning but have to be back to open the shop for 9am. So I feel that for the time it takes to basket 40 youngsters, drive one and a half hour round trip to give them a 20 mile toss that they will probably do in under 30 mins is a waste of time.

Andy wasn't having a knock mate was only saying what I used to do, and as for being lazy never in this world , and well done on what you have achieved thus far
