Quick Tip–My Experience With Compression Gear for Runners

In Wednesday’s post, I shared an article that Teal Burrell had written for Outside magazine recently about the impact that compression gear has for runners both during a run and when used for recovery.

Compression Gear for Runners: Does It Really Do Anything?

A few weeks ago, I was joined on the podcast by Teal Burrell.

We had a great chat, and one of the things that we talked about was the fact that she has written some articles looking at some of the different trends in the running world and the science behind them.

One of the the articles we touched on during our conversation was the increased prevalence of compression gear for runners, from socks to sleeves to tights and a whole lot more, and what said compression gear actually does (or doesn’t do) for runners.

I loved her article, and I think many of you guys will enjoy reading it as well, so I thought I’d share it with you.
