During the run yesterday I thought about getting some compression tights for the run. Compression clothing for those not too familiar, is designed to reduce muscle fatigue during the run, and help with recover following long runs. I think this may help me in the marathon.
There are several makers of compression gear out there. Probably the best known is made by Zoot.
I would test it out on a run to make sure I would like wearing it in the marathon.
Anyone wear compression? Thoughts?

I'm not a serious enough athlete to have considered compression - it looks awfully uncomfortable. I do have a pair of compression socks. My sister gave them to me for air travel, to keep my blood from all settling in my toes. I'll try wearing them on my walk today, and let you know whether they (a) feel good or (b) make me want to scream and pull them off mid-walk - or, of course, (c) something completely different.
