I started wearing compression socks/calh sleeves in the winter when I was having calf issues and I think it does help with fatigue and faster recovery. It has made running much easier and made my calf pain free even when it was still achy without the sleeves, It makes sense, but I wonder some days if it is just a mental thing.Coach Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110749177657676900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702988741762017233.post-10245159702803549542012-07-30T14:02:53.125-05:002012-07-30T14:02:53.125-05:00Good question...though it's been a while since...Good question...though it's been a while since I was running i remember having those really bad off days - and one thing that kept me going was the thought that if I could push through then the "toughness" would prove advantageous in competition. on the other hand there were a few long runs where it really really felt like moving through quicksand and I decided every now and then to modify it to walk/run intervals, or have a good stretch break before returning...or just let it go as my other sessions had been on track. How do you find the calf socks? Is there a noticeable difference in leg fatigue?cherellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643258879501877022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702988741762017233.post-53506278505215334362012-07-29T19:58:14.827-05:002012-07-29T19:58:14.827-05:00Thanks Mindy!

Great job pushing through both runs!!!Mindy Bobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752837814235279145noreply@blogger.com
