My love of compression socks is well documented. Compression helps the veins and arteries work more efficiently. That means that waste products are removed more quickly and freshly oxygenated blood arrives more quickly, too. In addition, the muscle groups are supported and muscle vibration is limited. All this means that you can run more with less effort and less fatigue. Not only that, but recovery time is also lessened. So you know compression socks are on my Christmas list.

We just got the new SmartWool Compression socks into Gazelle. I haven’t tried them yet, but I would love to find them in my stocking on December 25. I’m sure the runner on your list would feel the same. Stop in and grab a few pairs before Friday.
