More Compression sock joy

I recently posted about the Under Armour Recharge compression socks I bought.  Yes, they are pricey, but well worth it.

I typically run for about 2 miles on a treadmill at a 1.0 or 1.5 incline at about 6.3-6.6 MPH, before the socks.  Last night, I went 2 miles at the same incline at 7.8 MPH, with the socks on, and felt great afterwards.  That’s a pretty significant difference.

No believing the “placebo” effect on this one.  The concept makes sense, as it aids circulation from the lower extremeties back to the heart.  I am a true believer in them now.  Elite athletes use them regularly.  I’d highly recommend them (provided you have a steady job as 4 pairs will run you $80 bucks or more), you won’t regret it.
