Workout: 6 mile tempo run (2 miles at 11 mm, 2 miles at 9mm and 2 miles at 10.5 mm)
Not sure what pace I should run for my 5 mile race on Saturday. I ran a 5k in December in 26 something, first two miles around 8mm and the third mile at 10mm. I suffered an asthma attack in the last mile and really slowed down. For this race I would like to avoid that by not going out too fast. I think I would like to hit between 8:30 and 9mm splits.
As I am packing up to head back to CO tomorrow I laid out my travel clothes including my Zoot compressions socks.
My feet have a tendency to swell when I travel so I got these compression socks to help and they feel good to run in
Don't ask me what I am doing in this picture, I'm not really sure.
I also have a pair of Smart Wool compression socks:
I like them booth and I am thinking about buying some compression tights.
Do you have compression gear and do you think it helps? Any recommendations for compression tights?
I love your see through pants story! I'm sure there were some people that made sure to get a spot right behind you for sure!! Did you notice the same people behind you every time? :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to get some compression socks but have not done that yet!
Good luck this SAturday Beth!
ReplyDeleteFirst, good luck this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI have calf sleeves and socks. I'll be honest, while I think the sleeves are cute (they are pink and I'm a total girl), they don't offer much compression. And I feel like my ankles and feet need it. I have socks and I wear them almost religiously after long runs/bikes and love them. I don't have tights though. I want to get some, but I'm super cheap. How's that for honesty?
I'v never tried them, but I might pick some up because they sound interesting and like they might help!
ReplyDeleteI like using compression socks after a run, I haven't tried the tights..
