Compression clothing applies graduated pressure to muscles during and after running, supporting blood flow and reducing vibration that contributes to fatigue. Compression tights, calf sleeves, and tops fit snugly against the skin, using measured tension to stabilise muscle groups during high-impact efforts.
During runs, compression garments reduce muscle oscillation on road impacts and technical trail descents. This stabilisation may delay the onset of soreness during long efforts like marathon training blocks or back-to-back weekend runs. Post-run compression aids recovery by supporting circulation when muscles are repairing micro-damage from hard sessions.
Compression tights work as standalone running bottoms or base layers under shorts in cold conditions. Calf sleeves target lower leg muscles prone to shin splints and calf strains. Look for gradient compression ratings (measured in mmHg) that apply stronger pressure at extremities and lighter pressure toward the core. Some runners prefer compression gear for travel between races to maintain circulation during long drives or flights.
Shop compression clothing to support training and recovery efforts.
