Calf Compression - Looking Goofy

I've been messing with some different product (2XU calf sleeves, Sugoi compression socks)the last few weeks in my marathon buildup training phase. You've seen these most notably on Paula Radcliffe - those knee high socks that look like what I wore back in the late 70's / early 80's. So the deal is, better circulation / oxygen transport, less muscle vibration and support. Better post run recovery too if you wear them after your workouts.
Although looking like a jack ass - I'm sold. If you thought you were getting looks wearing those split running shorts, or heart rate monitor chest-strap without a top, you will get some glares with calf compression products on for sure -but who cares, these things are good. Better workouts and better recover.

Run fast!

Back again

Back again. Post City of Oaks Marathon & Half (yeah, pretty successful) post my marathon attempt on 0 training (3:17) and post Nike Cross Regional.
So now I'm getting "back in shape" for the Long Island Marathon. Why Long Island you ask. Well it is where I grew up, and did my first marathon at 14 years old in 3:49:56. So, my track coach was not to happy that I had to race the mile 2 days later. Bottom line - it will be the 25th anniversary of my first marathon. Leading up to it I will also do a few other races and train to do under 2:50.

Run fast!
