🏃‍♀️ TUESDAY COACHING TIP
NEXT SUMMER’S PERFORMANCES ARE MADE IN THE WINTER. ❄️➡️☀️

The winter months provide an opportunity to work on the things that can make the difference when competition season comes around.

🎯 Technique — refine the details.

⚡ Speed & power — develop the qualities your event demands.

💪 Strength & conditioning — build an appropriate physical foundation.

🧠 Recovery — give your body time to adapt.

📈 Consistency — keep turning up and doing the work.

You don't need to be at your best in October.

You need to be building towards being at your best next summer.

The work you put in when nobody is watching could be what makes the difference when everyone is watching. 🔥

🇨🇳 BEIJING 2027: HOW CAN BRITISH ATHLETES QUALIFY?

The qualification picture for the 2027 World Athletics Championships in Beijing is starting to take shape 👀

British Athletics has published its Consideration Standards, which offer slightly more flexibility than the World Athletics Entry Standards.

But hitting the standard isn't the only route to Beijing… 🇬🇧

Here are the ways British athletes can be considered for selection:

✅ World Athletics Wild Card
Receive a Wild Card entry from World Athletics.

🥇 Major Championship Medallists
Individual medallists from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and 2025 World Athletics Championships.

🇪🇺 European Champions
Win an individual European title, provided no other qualified athlete from Europe has entered the same event.

🏆 Finish Top Two at the UK Championships
Finish in the top two at the UK Athletics Championships in individual events — except the men's 1500m and women's 800m — provided the athlete has the World Athletics Entry Standard.

📈 Consideration Standard + World Ranking
Achieve both the British Athletics Consideration Standard and a qualifying World Athletics Road to Beijing ranking position.

⚠️ One important exception:
For the men's 1500m and women's 800m, only the UK Championships winner will be automatically selected, rather than the top two, and they must have the World Athletics Entry Standard.

🇬🇧 The road to Beijing starts now…

Which British athletes do you think could be challenging for selection in 2027? 👇
