Ran: 6.3 miles / 10 km - intervals - running group
Due to my shin splints issues I usually wear compression socks or sleeves on my runs. Love them, wouldn't run without them. I have to admit the look of it is not very sexy, but matched with a runningskirt I might just get away with the catholic school girl look. ;) Just might.
And I honestly believed that these compression socks were the compression product of the moment. Boy, was I wrong! Apparently there's a whole world filled with compression products out there!

Saucony Amp Pro2
Saucony has this new line of compression products: Amp Pro2. They explain the 'how it works'of the Amp Pro2 line on their website http://www.saucony.com/, and I'll have to admit: it seems like it's worth a try. But then again, you could sell me about anything...
The training short sleeve for women; cute color!Saucony states that the Amp Pro2 products improve oxygenated blood flow up to 32% more vs. regular compression. Also, the Saucony website says that the AMP PRO2 products increase the blood flow. Said benefits of the AMP PRO2 products to the old bod: it increases strength and builds endurance, promotes healing and reduces recovery time. Reduced recovery time = godsend as far as I'm concerned.
The training tights; cute color again! I can picture myself in these - paired with a pale blue runningskirt!
My favorite item: recovery tights! Dear Santa, I've been a good girl!OK, sounds promising, but hold the old credit card for a minute, because the Amp Pro2 line isn't the cheapest product out there. Also not the most expensive, though, but still. The training tights go for $110 and the short sleeve for $90. Then again, if it works for you and you don't mind spending the pennies, why wouldn't you give it a try?
And while you're at it, you might want to give this recovery sleep suit a try. ;)
I'm not sure what to think about these. Does a sleep suit actually work? Or would it just make me look like a total dork? Then again, most of the time I already do.
For me, I won't order the Amp Pro2 line through the internet. I'll look for a store that sells the line and try it on.

What's your take on compression shirts and tights? And would you try a recovery sleep suit?

I like the idea of putting your post from yesterday about being single together with your post from today about wearing a compression sleep suit. :)
But in seriousness, I've found the compression socks to work well for me, but at my current level of training/fitness, I'm not sure what advantage more compression would provide that losing weight or running more wouldn't. I think I'd only go to something like that if I knew I was doing everything I could for my training otherwise.
I dream of compression tights! Really. I do.
Sleep suit? Well if they want to give me one I'd try it but I think it would make me really hot. My compression socks make my already overly hot body even hotter (and not in guys checking me out kind of way;-)
I’m going to be honest…I only read this post because it was entitled “Squeeze me, Baby!”…and I thought it was some kind of giveaway. I was slightly disappointed;0)
@ T: Hahaha! Well...if I would actually use that sleep suit as a night gown, that might explain the 'single'-issue. ;)
@ Shelly: I hear you! I do get hot at night (in a non sexy way), and would probably peel that thing off in no-time!
@ Q: LOL! Well, Q, thanks for reading the post anyway. ;) I would love to do a giveaway on the recovery tights, but, hey, I sort of need Saucony to arrange that, don't I? ;)
I don't like feeling constricted. I think the compression would annoy me. :D
I'd try anything that was free to me. YEP, anything. ;)
@ Becka: I with you on that one. However...if it would make my legs feel less leady...I'm willing to try anything!
@ Emz: LOL! Me too! :)
mmm, ik denk wel dat het werkt. Of het sexy is zo'n sleep suit verschilt per persoon maar a dork? nee, dat lijkt mij echt niet. Ik moet zeggen dat ik ook steeds meer van mijn Skins shirtje ben gaan houden. Dus, probeer eens gewoon die sleep suit
@ Ronald: Ja, lekker ben jij. En dan mag ik die sleep suit zeker de 30/31e oktober gaan lopen...want is tenslotte toch 's nachts. ;)
nee, doe maar niet de 30/31.. doe maar een van je flashy outfits.. veel leuker!!
