UCL's Triathlon Society!
Join now

Training

We offer training across the three disciplines, and collaborate closely with the running society. Some of the key weekly sessions include :

  • Brick session on Mondays evenings: indoor spin (cycling) followed by a social run with RAX (Running, Athletics and Cross Country)
  • Track with a professional coach on Tuesday evenings @ Parliament Hill with Highgate Harriers for those interested in middle to long distance running
  • Indoor swimming session on Friday mornings with a professional coach @Cally Pool (Caledonian Road)
  • Outdoor rides on weekends and mornings, dependent on weather conditions 

We will be posting the full weekly training weekly on our instagram (ucl_triathlon) and on our WhatsApp groupchat (https://chat.whatsapp.com/HQneFaX9CAS3rJ6yH9bzLJ?s=sh&p=i&mlu=4), so make sure to follow both!

You are welcome to join us regardless of your experience—no background in any of these sports is needed. You won't even need a bike to get started, as we have indoor cycling sessions to accommodate you.

If you fancy doing some cross country races too, the London Universities and Colleges Athletics Association (LUCA) organises races throughout the year, suitable to everyone!

Tours

We will organise a training camp in term 3, so stay tuned!!

Socials 

We run a variety of socials throughout the year, including with other London triathlon societies (King's, Imperial...).
