BIATHLON

Biathlon training plans, built for your goal

Biathlon's real skill isn't skiing fast or shooting accurately in isolation — it's arriving at the range with your heart rate and breathing under control enough to hit five small targets after minutes of maximal effort. SportBlox builds your biathlon training plan around your goal, current level and race calendar.

Personalisation

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.

Your skill level

Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like settling heart rate before shooting, shooting accuracy under fatigue, sustaining ski pace across a full race and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.

Your schedule

The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.

Works with Strava

Connect Strava and your logged sessions feed back into pacing and progression.

For coaches

FAQ

Biathlon training plan FAQ

How many combo (ski-then-shoot) sessions do I need?

Most competitors do one to two combo sessions weekly alongside separate ski and range training, scaled to facility access.

Do I need snow and a rifle range?

On-snow and range sessions assume access to both; flag limited access and the plan substitutes roller-skiing and dry-fire practice.

Is this suitable for someone new to biathlon?

Yes, set your level to beginner and the plan builds ski endurance and shooting fundamentals separately before combining them.

Does this work with Strava?

Yes, connect Strava and SportBlox can use your ski or run data to refine endurance progression.

Does the plan taper before a race?

Yes, add your event date and the final week reduces ski volume while keeping range sharpness.
