I’ve been loving using my compression socks for recovery, but with this marathon training I’ve started to wonder..what if I use them during my run? Quite a few of my runner friends swear by them, so I figured why not try it?
My friends at PRO Compression sent me a cute pair of light blue marathon socks to try out. Seriously loving this color!
Why PRO Compression?
Beyond traditional high compression, be sure to check out our specialized running sock. The innovative design, lightweight construction and stabilizing zone make it one of the most comfortable, yet effective, running socks available. Our socks can be worn before, during and after a workout as the benefits of compression help expedite muscle recovery through enhanced vascular flow in your lower extremities.
I wore my compression socks during my long run yesterday. I never really suffer from sore calves during my run, but after I’m usually sore for a bit later.
WOW. Why hadn’t I tried these out sooner for running? After running 11 miles, my legs didn’t feel like I had just run distance. Hours later, my legs still weren’t sore..awesome! I’m a big fan of running in compression and am going to be adding compression to my distance runs now (and it definitely helps that PRO Compression has a ton of cute colors and styles to choose from…I’m eyeing the argyle for my next pair!)
Want to try out PRO Compression? PRO Compression is giving one lucky reader a pair of marathon compression socks (any color)! The giveaway will end Wednesday March 20 at 11:59 PM CST. Good luck!

I wear my one pair of sleeves after long runs, and a shower, but never have run in them. I need a second pair so I can get one sweaty, then wear the others clean!! LOL

I have been curious about trying compression socks myself! This would be a perfect opportunity to try them out for my longer runs!
I’d love some purple ones!! I used PRO Compression on my 9 1/2 miler this weekend!! Then I put another pair on afterwards– love it!!!

I love the green and pink! Oh, and the purple.. well, all of them really! I get super sore calves too – right now I am using a pair of compression sleeves and they have worked wonders!
Britta recently posted…The Perfect Day
I use the 3 different sizes and love them all. The full size for longer runs and races are great. I ran my 1st ultra using compression and they were invaluable. Love the orange!
Would love to win a pair of black socks!
I’ve been dying to try compression socks! I wanted them after the Disney Marathon, and I look every time I hit an expo, but haven’t made the jump yet… perfect way to try is win a pair!
I love the purple socks!
Duh forgot the most important part
I think I like the green best~
Love the pink!!!

As a PT, I always recommend compression garments for use during endurance events- you can’t go wrong!!
Marathon Baby Blue works for me!

I love argyle, you should def get them for your next pair!
I run with 3/4 skins and have never really thought of using compression socks as a result but I do get very sore/tight calves so maybe I should consider it.
Jan recently posted…Marvelous in My Mondays #1
Love that color! I’ve always wanted to try these-I’ve always liked my calf sleeves.
I would love the same color you’re wearing or purple

Originally, I thought the purple were my fave…now I’m loving the light blue!! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!

The light blue PRO Compression socks are definitely my favourite! I was set on getting black ones (how boring) but the blue ones are so fun!
I’m loving the light blue!!
I would definitely love the pink!! I’m a everything pink girl!
I don’t have any and would love a pair.
Love the purple, lime or orange. But the neon green with pink is cool too. I want some compression socks so bad. They would be great for my workout recovery even though I don’t run.

Dani recently posted…St. Patrick’s Day Weekend
I really want a purple pair!
I’m all about function, you can choose the color.
I just ordered a pair in pink yesterday (and I used the code!) Excited to try them out for the first time.
I’m loving the purple pair. Awesome review
Red marathon socks would certainly be an interesting look with my red Brooks running shoes.
I have been using these socks for the last three weeks on all my long runs in anticipation of my Boston Marathon run. I have the Shamrock socks and want yellow (pref. neon yellow) socks. Turns out these are the socks of the month in June :/ So, I would just go with another pair of shamrock or plain white (color me boring!).
I have the Pink Pro Compression socks and love them, but lately I’ve been craving something a little bit less “crazy”. White or Baby Blue maybe?

I would definitely want the neon green and pink ones!! Would love to give these a try.
Black would be my first choice, followed by orange or green.
Just ordered two pairs of compression socks using the coupon code; WHAT AN AWESOME DEAL!
I’ve been wanting to try these for recovery. I love the pink and the purple!
I love my Pro Compression socks…I have 2 pair. I also have a pair of the calf sleeves. I run in mine as well as use them for recovery.
the light blue is awesome. i would love to give these a try!

I kind of love the light blue. My dr. recently suggested I try these out on heavy lift days and running days but I just can’t get over what a total dork I look like in them. Maybe I need to try them out to see if the dork factor is diminished by how cool I feel using them!
