Should you wear compression socks while running?
While many runners wear their socks or sleeves for post-workout recovery, you can reap the benefits from compression gear at any time. Some athletes train and even race in compression socks to help encourage blood flow through the lower leg and calves.
Why do runners wear compression socks?
Compression socks for runners are elastic socks that are designed to be worn up to the knee. These strong socks squeeze around your calf, compressing the veins, along with your leg muscles. Compression socks are helpful when running because they reduce swelling, tiredness, and cramps during long runs.
Do Compression Socks For Runners Work?
For runners, compression socks provide relief for muscle aches and foot pain. Studies show that compression socks can help reduce muscle damage and inflammation, especially after marathons and ultramarathons.
A 2015 study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that wearing compression socks for 48 hours after a marathon improved performance by 2.6% two weeks after the race.
A few other reasons a runner may adopt compression socks as part of their regular running routine:
Compression socks keep your legs warm during cold running days. The socks are beneficial for runners who forgo pants and prefer to wear shorts in every season.
Compression socks add a layer of protection during trial runs and protect your legs from cuts, scratches, dirt, and poison ivy on the trails.
While studies show that compression socks are helpful in recovery, there are currently no studies concluding that wearing compression socks during races is beneficial to performance.
Wearing compression socks during a run or race might make a runner feel better and trick him into thinking he’s running better. If that’s the case, wear compression socks during activity. Just be sure to wear the correct type of compression socks.
