One of many good training guides is NORDIC UPDATE TRAINING GUIDE
Edited by Nat Brown; Timeline Publishing Company, 1988.

The USBA sells a Biathlon Training guide on their web site.

If you can afford a Anschutz biathlon rifle, then do so. The accuracy
of the rifle makes training more fun.

Personally, I believe that a match air rifle will improve shooting
skills better than dry firing (I know some people will disagree).
With a match air rifle you can shoot indoors during inclement
weather. If you can afford a Anschutz, Feinwerkbau, or RWS match air
rifle don't hesitate.

and now I finally have the time to get ready this year for hopefully
a novice event next year. Can anyone offer any advice on a good
training guide and pointers on getting started. I have read a fair
bit on rifles and will probably start on the Izhmash BI7-4. I am
currently working on the skiing side of things, but maybe need some
advice on realistic goals for the fitness side of things, like
realistic timings to aim for. Any help would be very well appreciated.
