Today was my second run of week three.

After the previous run I did a bit of research into shin splints, as my symptoms seem related. A few sources suggested compression socks.

A quick trawl through amazon and I’m now the owner of a pair of compression socks.

They haven’t resolved my pain issue completely, but they have made a massive difference, I specially in the recovery phases.

Looking forward to run 3 on Sunday now.

Great job. I read that compression socks don’t help everyone on the run, but they are pretty much undisputed as good for post run recovery... good purchase.

Enjoy that run 3
