Triathletes typically train 2-3 times per day, every day, so recovery becomes critical. The body has a hard time recovering between workouts, which can cause athletes to have constant sub-par training.
“We utilize Sigvaris products to give us that extra edge on the competition, and enter each workout closer to 100% recovered! They are also perfect for all the long car and plane travels we make to races, reducing swelling and keeping the muscles in great condition”, said Ryan Bates of USPro Tri.
