💪 Why Strength & Conditioning Matters Strength & 💪 Why Strength & Conditioning Matters

Strength & Conditioning isn’t just about lifting heavier — it’s about moving better, feeling stronger, and staying injury-free.

By building strength, we improve performance, protect our joints, burn fat more efficiently, and shape a stronger, leaner body. Whether you’re running, training, racing, or just living life — a strong body supports everything.

🔥 Bronze Members — Fancy Trying Strength & Conditioning?

If you’re a Bronze member and haven’t been sure about jumping into our Thursday evening Strength & Conditioning sessions at the CrossFit gym in Trafford, now’s the perfect chance.

👉 For two dates only — February 19th and March 5th — you can attend these sessions for FREE and give them a try.

If getting there is tricky, hop into the S&C WhatsApp group to arrange a car share — plenty of members are happy to help with lifts 🚗

No pressure — just come along, train, and see what you think! 💪

If you have any questions, please DM us

Ever wondered if qualifying for World or European Ever wondered if qualifying for World or European Championships is actually achievable?
Spoiler: it is — and probably more achievable than you think.

Manchester Triathlon Club is hosting a qualification workshop focused on how age-group athletes can qualify for World & European Championship races across a wide range of formats:
	•	Sprint, Standard, Middle & Long Distance
	•	Aquabike & Aquathon
	•	Duathlon
	•	Cross Triathlon & Cross Duathlon

The workshop will break down the qualification process, remove the mystery, and show just how many routes there are to getting on a GB start line.

The session will be led by Mel Hayes (Head Coach), alongside Jude Wall and Sonia Harris — all hugely experienced GB representatives, with Mel being a two-time World Champion.
They’ll be joined by other Manchester Triathlon Club members from different age groups, sharing real-life experiences of how they made qualification happen.

If you’ve ever thought “that’s not for someone like me” — this workshop is exactly for you.

👉 Come along, get inspired, and realise what’s possible.

One of the most modest athletes, he lets his racing do the talking. And that was most definitely the case at @ironman_uk in Tenby where he crossed the line and broke the tape 1st 🥇
