Endless trails
Where is everyone?
I did 6 trail miles this morning, breaking in a new pair of trail shoes. 39* at the trailhead but
quickly warmed up when I was done, it was nice.
QOTD: Who's using calf compression sleeves? Do they help?
7 after work.
QOTD: No. I don't use them.

9.5 on the trail last night, today is SRD.
QOTD I don't use compression sleeves, but I was wondering if they would help?
Got out for 8 miles in the desert with the dog this morning. Felt pretty chilly today compared to the last couple weeks.
QOTD: I wore them for all my long runs and races last year. I had some calf pain(Likely a minor strain) and it seemed to help reduce the pain associated with that. Beyond that, they felt good. I haven't been wearing them this year and have been fine, so hard to say how much they help. I will probably wear them for my 50 miler since I feel like there is some benefit.

Just couldn't get out of bed need to run after work but have company. Since's the compay is my husband's friend I am hoping they will be off junking so I can run after wrok before we barbeque.
QOTD: I wore compression socks for 12 years while attending catholic high school. I had to wear knee highs that strangled my large calves....I will never wear compression socks again!

08/19/23 Marquette 50 dns 🙄
Bike to work day, so I did a quick commute. Need to pick up my mom from the airport this evening so likely no running.
QOTD: No, so no idea. Lace has inspired me to try them, though.
Nothing today, trying to let my sore calf heal up a little before this weekends marathon. I have a nagging thought of DNS in the back of my mind, I don't want to screw up my 50 the beginning of next month. Will see.
Not using calf sleeves but the thought has crossed my mind lately.
3 mile "instant run" this morning. It was really warm and humid, a "sweat-ball" even within only 3 miles. I'm sitting in a hotel conference room in an all-day committee meeting today - Uuuuugh!!!
qotd: I only wear them for recovery after long (about 15 mi) runs. I don't wear them when running, they are too warm for me.

My apologies for asking a QOTD we just had a separate thread about a month ago, I should
have checked first. Carry on.

Afternoon all!
Got in 5 miles yesterday and the legs felt pretty good. I'm going to take it pretty easy the remainder of this week. It is the fiancé's BDay today so I will be frantically trying to clean the house before she gets home.
QOTD: I don't wear them, I have, I'm not sold.

I busted out some mountain mileage this morning and it was awesome!
QOTD: I use them in all my ultras and I believe they reduce my recovery time. Even if they don't, I like how they make my calves feel, so that's all I need.
