It doesn't really help matters than men are expected to wear these things called "tights". But that aside my initial thought at reading up on them was simply that what if putting on some tights after training really could improve my recovery? Could I really afford not to try them? Worst case it wouldn't do any harm.
Now though I really wouldn't be without them. Initially I wasn't sure about the change, until the first time I didn't put them on after a training ride. I really knew about it the next day. More recently I have used them when my legs have been feeling tired and after several hours of wearing them I feel good to go again. In my humble opinion they are nothing short of miraculous. Putting them on after training is now as important in my routine as the training itself.Very, very highly recommended.
I've been meaning to try these for a while and this is the nudge that I needed. I can't believe I've just been talked into wearing tights. -

Its sounds like it could be too late yes. Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteBut if you wear them under your normal clothes, no one will even know. Unless you proudly tell them :-)
