They key to prevent or spot the signs of overtraining in time is communication, according to Bitnes (coach of Team Austria) The trust between athlete and coach is the very basis of quality training. 📷 Bitnes+IBU #biathlon #training

Listen (to your body) and talk (to your coach) 😌 For Bitnes, athletes should not be afraid of looking for alternative methods of training if things are not going well. Long term growth should always be the goal, afterall and everyone has a different path. 📷Bitnes #biathlon

A hungry athlete is what a coach wants, but they have to be attentive of the mood of their athletes: pushing them to reach their limit, but also understand that form is built over time. 📷 IBU #biathlon #training

Erik Bartlett Kulstad considers resting as the most important aspect of training: if you want to go hard with training, you must go hard with your rest! 😎 📷 IBU #biathlon #rest #training
