Well, I finally broke down and decided to purchase my first pair of tights since 2006. I take care of my running gear so the three pair I bought back then have served very well and are used often as I my night runs are usually a little cooler.With my recent knee issues I thought […]

Compression socks, once the domain of diabetics and frequent flyers, have slowly trickled their way into endurance sports. We have seen Paula Radcliffe wear them for the last few years; long white knee high socks - quite a fashion statement. Having used CW-X products for almost 4 years now, I really believe in the […]

Just picked up a pair of these.  I am quite pleased with them.  Having recently gotten on the Compression socks band wagon I was interested to see if compression tights would have similar benefits.

This year was an experiment (somewhat forced) in what I can versus need to do to perform well. Life got in the way of what I wanted to do training wise, and what I could do. Heading down to Florida I was anything but confident in what the result would be. Granted I had a […]
