Nooooooooooo! (vember)

[El Gordo]

By the way Sweder, I took note of your info about compression socks, and invested in some Skins Powersox, which arrived this morning. Everything I've read about these is positive, so I'm hopeful. They are said to keep calf problems at bay if worn when running, and to aid recovery if worn post-run. I'll report back on the results. I must avoid further calf problems if I want to hit my goals this season.

Excellent; I'll be most interested in the results.
I too need to protect my dodgy calf & its just too darned warm for leggings just at the moment.

There are a lot of different brands but the Skins Powersox were universally well reviewed so I went with them. They feel very light and unobtrusive, so am hopeful they won't be too noticeable on the run. I've been running for months with the much thicker neoprene calf support (including the marathon), so I'm presuming these will be fine.
