For the last few months I've been training for the Nike Women's Half Marathon. Running doesn't come easy to me, and if it were up to my physical therapist, he'd have me quit altogether. And while this race might be my last, I am determined to set a PR when I cross that finish line.
During this latest bout of training, I've suffered from both shin splints and hamstring tendonitis — injuries that can make running painful and lead to above average bouts of recovery time. Next to ice, one of the best forms of self-treatment I have found are my Skins Compression Tights ($150). I put these on after my long runs and instantly my legs feel better. I have also noticed that on nights I sleep in them, my recovery time between runs is always reduced. And since sizing is based on important factors like height and weight, pressure is delivered to the key areas of my leg, allowing for oxygen flow to increase and help those sore and fatigued muscles wake up again!
