Herzog PRO Compression Socks at HYROX: Less muscle pain, more performance
Side Image

HYROX is rapidly conquering the world of functional fitness. It combines running with functional exercises in a fixed pattern, in which endurance, strength and strategy come together. A race consists of 8 kilometers of running, alternating with 8 workouts such as sled push, wall balls and farmers carry. Sounds tough? It is. But with the right preparation - and the right material - you can really make a difference.

What exactly is HYROX?
HYROX is an indoor racing format that is organized worldwide. Each participant completes the same course:
- 1 km run
- 1 functional exercise
- And you repeat that 8 times

The unique thing about HYROX is that it is accessible for recreational athletes and competitively challenging for athletes. It combines running with strength so that your body is heavily loaded, especially your lower legs.

Why compression stockings from HYROX?
During HYROX your calves, shins and ankles will take a beating. Think of:

  • Repetitive impact while running
  • Static strength efforts, for example sled pull
  • Reduced blood circulation during heavy exertion

Herzog PRO Compression Stockings help in several ways:

Improved blood circulation
Medical compression stimulates the removal of waste products and the supply of oxygen-rich blood. This means: less acidification, better performance.
Less muscle damage and faster recovery
The targeted pressure around the calf limits muscle damage from vibrations and microtrauma. This reduces the chance of muscle pain and injuries afterwards.
Extra support for explosive movements
Whether you're jumping, pulling or sprinting – the Herzog PRO socks provide firm support without sacrificing mobility.
Reduction of injuries
Athletes who are prone to shin splints or calf problems often notice a difference quickly. Compression helps prevent shin splints and overload.

Practical experience
Many athletes who combine HYROX with long training weeks or competitions such as triathlons and obstacle runs swear by compression socks. The Herzog PRO socks are a favorite because they are the only ones on the market that work with a customized compression profile based on six measurement points.

“During my first HYROX I noticed that my calves were already on fire at kilometer 4. With the Herzog socks I felt more stable and I could maintain my pace better – both during the run and the sled push.”
– HYROX participant, Amsterdam 2024
