Abstract
This article provides a summary of the main findings from a study of Walther et al. (2025), where we retrospectively investigated the day-to-day endurance training periodisation strategies employed by ten male and seven female world-class XC skiers during their most successful seasons. Thereafter, we discuss the relevance of these findings for biathletes (Walther et al., 2025).
