W6 R3 I am a runner 😊

I ran for 25 solid mins and I feel chuffed. Rain stayed off and it was cool and comfortable. I am looking in to getting compression socks. Anyone tried this and made a difference? Otto with me all the way 🐾🐾

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 6, you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER, nice place to run, walk or bike ride, compression socks should be bought when you get a gait analysis at a sports shop and get running shoes to match the socks,

Congratulations! I'm having this run today in like 6 hours :). I've order compression socks since I felt some pain sometimes after the runs. I can't tell if that really helped or not, it doesn't feel different than regular socks (at least mine). I by the time them arrived I stop feeling the pain and haven't felt it, or any other pain, since then. Maybe is worth a try .

hiya, I wear them all the time, long ones upto my knees as I used to get torn muscles all the time, even though I warmed up and down, so I would say they help. Might be psychological but I feel better protected with them on and thats what matters to me.

My dogs are nearly 12 and its too far for them now, I miss them running with me, its lovely isnt it when they run with you. :)

Hi there. My calf compression sleeves arrived today. I stand all day! Sometimes even to eat! I am so hoping this will alleviate the awful pain I get towards end if the day. Its more painful days I have ran. Best wishes
