for a while now i've been running in these sexy compression socks. if i'm planning a long run, i'll wear them the day before and after, also.
now since everyone is all mad for marchness, i read on cnn.com today that the bball players are wearing a padded version to avoid contact injuries and to give them added support.
compression keeps swelling down and avoids varicose veins from developing. it's also the first thing you do when you have an injury, so having it already applied to the micro tears we endure while exercising can be beneficial.
athletes of all sport persuasions seem to be trending toward them. i dig it.
