Training clothes for hybrid sessions

Clothes that work for a 10 km run and a squat session: light, stretchy and quick to dry.

Reviewed 5 Nov 2026 · 6 picks

Hybrid sessions mix running, lifting, lunges and burpees. Clothes need to move in every direction, stay put when you jump and dry quickly between rounds.

Race halls are warm and you will sweat a lot. Light, fitted kit stops chafing and keeps clothing from catching on a sled rope or a sandbag.

Criteria

What to look for

01

Stretch and fit

Shorts and tights must allow a deep lunge and a full squat without riding up.

02

Quick-drying fabric

Technical synthetics and merino dry faster than cotton and chafe less.

03

Secure support

A high-support sports bra matters for running and jumping. Fit is personal; try several.

04

Socks that stay put

Running socks with a fitted heel stop blisters over 8 km and lunges.

Questions

What should I wear for Hyrox?

Light, fitted kit you have trained in: shorts or tights, a technical top or sports bra, and running socks. Warm race halls make light kit the safe bet.

Long tights or shorts?

Personal preference. Tights protect knees on lunges and burpees; shorts run cooler.

Cotton or synthetic?

Synthetic or merino. Cotton holds sweat, gets heavy and chafes.

Shoes for Hyrox® and hybrid racing

One pair has to run 8 km, push a sled and survive 80 m of burpee broad jumps. Grip and stability matter as much as cushioning.

A running shoe is a poor squat shoe. On strength and WOD days, a flatter, firmer trainer keeps you stable under the bar.
