Definitely run the dog hard every day, twice a day if possible. Wearing a beagle out isn't to tough. Take the bicycle to speed it up. Split the duty in the family. Will be good for the humans too.

The dogs don't play?

Careful taking a beagle out in the field. I'd want telemetry or GPS equipment on one if I'd be serious about it. They tend to wander off on the first good track. People joke about going rabbit hunting for the first hour of the day and spending the rest of the day hunting down the beagle.
