Summer Camps - Click Here High Altitude Training For The Olympian!
Huge news in the month of May - Jason 'Long Long' Ng has become 26 Olympian number 2! Great to see him training in St Moritz in prep for the games, with his 26 alumni teammate Robin Elg by his side! Soon they'll head over to Paris to join the rest of the HK team in the Olympic village. July 30th is race day!
In Tokyo we had Oscar Coggins. We've already got talk of at least 3 26 alumni pushing for the LA games in 2028 - Oscar, Long Long, and Robin. Well done Long Long - great work! Term 3 - Complete!
It's absolutely flown by - can't believe just how fast the time has gone by this term! Can't stress how impressed by the progress we've had this term - thanks to everyone who has joined! Our Summer programme, as well as Term 1 for next school year is up and rolling already - check it out on the website - click here.

Best Dive Ever!One of the best dives we've ever seen at Aquathlon - the definition of throwing yourself into something! An awesome training day just before a T3 - gave us some rare choppy water at Repulse Bay!
Kellett Aquathlon
Well done to all our athletes who represented their schools at the Primary inter-school aquathlon at the secondary Kellett campus. Great racing from everyone - we had athletes from CIS, BJS, GSIS, Kellett, QBS, and Gleneally.
Sneak Peek - New t-shirts!
Someone got a quick snap of coach in the next terms 26 t-shirt. We're back to black this term - celebrating our home city with the Hong Kong skyline on the back - can you name all the buildings?
D'ag Dash Registration Is Open!
The D'ag Dash 2025 registration is now open - race date: 18th Sept. There are 900m, 1.8km, 5km, and 10km options - distances for everyone! Co-hosted by 26 Coaching and Avra.
Check out all the details on the event page - click here. Rain Rain Run AwayRain won't stop the 26 athletes from training! We've had some brutal weather through June, but we power through - whatever doesn't stop you makes you stronger!
26 Swimsuit
Amy modelling the latest 26 swimsuit - love the red - Hong Kong style! Suit only available in female cut I'm afraid, but you're welcome to try it out if you want to!
Parachute Mad!We've been building strength in all our athletes this month, really utilising the parachutes. Teaching everyone to get up tall, keep the hips forward, lean from the ankles, and of course have tons of fun whilst doing it! It's harder than it looks!
Stability & Balance
We've shifted back to the very basics of running and started integrating stability, balance, and plyometric work into every workout - seen some big benefits in terms of less shin splints, stronger run, and better form. Keep up the good work guys.
Coach Sasha - Thank You!
We've had one of our Youth athletes, Sasha, giving back to the younger ones with some work experience a couple of times per week. It's been a blast, the Primary aged athletes have loved having her as part of their sessions! Thanks Sasha, look forward to you helping again in the future!

The Most Important Part Of Cycling
The Chase - A Success!
Our newest track based event - The Chase, where individual 5km runners are chased down by 400m relay teams - was a great success. Amazing to see so many of our 26 families coming down and getting involved - just shows that it all runs in the family!
Bring Back The Studio?
Big throwback here to 10 years ago, close to when 26 first started, and our literally 'in-house' gym. We still see some of the faces in these photos still with us. Should we bring it back is the question?

In the checkout section make sure that you note which session you want them to come to! Scroll to the bottom of the merchandise page Click here. Fun Or Torture?Definitely the most parachutes we've got on to one athlete so far - 6 chutes. This could be our newest challenge - better order some more - build up to 26...
How To Exit The WaterCheck out Youth athlete Alban showing us a smooth exit from the water at Repulse. Getting in as close to the beach as possible before standing up and then straight into the run is key for both aquathlon and triathlon. Great job mate!
Coach Athlete Dinner
Nothing like running along both sides of the Kowloon then HK Harbour in a Typhoon 3 to finish the month - another 24km in the bag - Easy days!
