So, winter is back and thus we can enjoy some high level cross country skiing. I think it is one of the most beautiful and versatile endurance sport. (And I say that as an alpine and skimo freak who's barely ever been on xc skis). Anyone else following it?
After yesterdays sprint victory, Johannes Klaebo also won todays distance event. This guy is only 21 and I think we will see a lot from him in the future. He has a good vlog on youtube giving insight into his daily training:

BTW Norway traditionally is the cross country powerhouse. But they always seem to have very good endurance atheltes. At the moment you obciously also have Blummenfelt, but also the Ingebrigtsens and Sondre Moen in running and the powerful cyclists. They seem to have solid work ethic and the right mentality.
