When cross-training days arrive to find you feeling worn-out and still sore from a few days ago, swap out your regular shorts for the 2XU Core Compression Short instead. In the middle of an intense training plan, when rest days and time are limited, recovery matters. The added compression in the Core will help support your adductors, glutes, quads, and hamstrings when you're running or lifting, encouraging healthy circulation and reducing muscle oscillations that can cause soreness later on. Whether you're pounding out laps on the track to prep for your upcoming sprint tri or you're working on a strength-building circuit to improve your riding, the breathable, supportive Core aims to help you feel better during and after you work out, so you're better equipped to handle what's on the schedule for the rest of the week.
