#TuesdayTidbit - Compression Gear

I do not have a medical degree, and I don't claim to have medical knowledge. I'm speaking from my personal experience only.

I honestly don't remember when it was... I think it was maybe marathon training? Or when I was running half marathons and longer distances? But I began to suffer with calf cramps. I mean severe calf cramps. I had friends suggest that I try calf sleeves. I ignored their advice for a couple of weeks, and then I tried a pair.


From my very first run with compression sleeves, I won't run without them. I'm serious. To me, my compression sleeves are as important as socks and shoes. I don't run without them.



I also wear them for cycling and other activities where I think that I could use some extra support.

In addition to sleeves, I also occasionally wear ankle sleeves (for support or recovery - especially after a tough trail run)

I wore thigh sleeves when my hamstrings were angry with me.

So you can say that for me personally compression gear is very important to me.

I'd like to pass on a coupon code for Zensah. You can use my referral link and save 10%  here.

So today's #TuesdayTidbit is compression and how they have helped me (personally) with recovery. I am a firm believer in compression, and have been for years. I personally don't sleep in mine, and if I start feeling any discomfort I of course take them off. But if you haven't tried compression, from my personal experience, I'd encourage you to check it out. And don't forget to use my referral link to save 20%.
