πŸ’ͺ Why Strength & Conditioning Matters Strength & πŸ’ͺ Why Strength & Conditioning Matters

Strength & Conditioning isn’t just about lifting heavier β€” 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 β€” a strong body supports everything.

πŸ”₯ Bronze Members β€” 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.

πŸ‘‰ For two dates only β€” February 19th and March 5th β€” 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 β€” plenty of members are happy to help with lifts πŸš—

No pressure β€” just come along, train, and see what you think! πŸ’ͺ

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 β€” 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:
	β€’	Sprint, Standard, Middle & Long Distance
	β€’	Aquabike & Aquathon
	β€’	Duathlon
	β€’	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 β€” 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 β€œthat’s not for someone like me” β€” this workshop is exactly for you.

πŸ‘‰ 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 πŸ₯‡

@barratt_tri took on and conquered the swim, taking the course record and clocking an impressive time of 3.42 πŸ₯‡ Even the safety boats weren’t quite expecting him to be so quick, asking him to wait while they radioed in to the next station!

These events are a great way to test your swim endurance, so if you fancy a challenge for 2026, get yourself signed up! With Coniston, Ullswater or Windermere to pick from, you’re guaranteed some stunning views!
