I would start my walks at a half and pick it up if it looks to tired. Once it gets that down just keep extending the distance until he is at ur limit then break out the wheeler and let it run. The main thing is to watch the way they act and don't let them over heat. This will build endurance and conditioning. The spring pole and such I would just work it till it looks tired and stop. The time will increase with conditioning. If u start slow and work up u will be suprised at what they are capable of. My old lab could run for 12 hours in rice,bean,and cotton fields in mud in his younger days. He started with 15 min trips with a nap in between at 12 to 14 weeks.
