Changes

I've tried a number of different graduated compression bottoms for both recovery and training. I was initially skeptical of the benefits of compression clothing, but I've become a believer over time. I'm not sure there is a significant improvement in aerobic capacity while wearing graduated compression tights, as it is hard to measure this accurately. However, they do seem to improve comfort and reduce leg pain. Over longer distances, this improvement in comfort may translate into a faster time. I have found that wearing compression clothing does make a significant difference to recovery. Compression tights reduce discomfort while they are worn, and they also reduce overall recovery times.
