Do not think it's ok to go running without your compression socks...ever again! Week 8 run 3 got a bit to cocky! Paid for it at 21 mins into my run!

What are these compression socks?

I struggled in the beginning with shin splints and painful calf muscles, running compression socks are very tight knee length socks which helped me tremendously. Look for them on eBay or Amazon and have a more detailed read in their description. Well worth it in my opinion.

Not what you're looking for?
