Getting Whippets race ready

Hi David,

It’s really beyond my scope to be able to set a training schedule to be able to go from zero to race fit as it depends just too much on unknown factors such as the age of the dogs, natural fitness, previous race distance for the individual dogs, not forgetting current health and facilities easily available for improving fitness.

Therefore a training schedule is far better set by someone that knows each individual whippet, their strengths and weaknesses, and is able to keep their eye on health variations in each dog bought about by any training program.

Then of course there is the selection of food supplied suited to the workload, which then often has to be varied to suit each individual dog.

So as you can see it’s not something an outsider can contribute to.

Cheers,
Tom
