What Is Your Opinion On Calf Compression Sleeves During Long Distance Training/long Distance Racing? I Recently Purchased A Pair And Have Found That I Have Much Less Calf Soreness Post-run. Are There Any Disadvantages To Using Them? |

Answer» I haven’t seen much research on the advantages/disadvantages of using compression socks. The GOAL of compression socks is to decrease blood pooling in your legs. I recommend runners to use serial compression devices after runs to decrease recovery time and MUSCLE SORENESS. Using a compression sock during a run may actually decrease blood FLOW in the legs, which is not a desired effect.
