@ Marc, JESUS!! I can't begin to imagine your pain - will take note!

@ Mick, thanks for your help, think i'll consider the cycle short route, Cheers!

Hi, yeah, they are supposed to reduce muscle vibration and soreness and assist in compressing the chest which helps regulate breathing - this should be mean less time in recovery.

 I've used Nike tops that compress and they seem to increase my ability to run for longer and feel less fatigued afterwards - i've tried wearing these on different days / lengths of run and the results do seem to bear out that the compression does help.

Hi,

I am considerign buying some compression tights - i run middle distance (half marathons) 3 - 4 times a year and find compression tops seem to help with breathing and general recovery.

 Do any of you guys wear compression tights whilst running or do you wear them after - what about shorts / underwear?

 Any help appreciated!

 Many thanks

Neil

Hi Sarah

 the pain is in both knees, just behind the knnecaps and both inside and outside(!)

Hi

I ran my 1stHalf Marathon 2 weekends ago at Silverstone.

 I've trained over 12 weeks, gradually increasing time/distance without any injuries or pain. I have had a weeks rest since the event but ran 3.5 miles Tuesday and the sides of both of knees now hurt (feels like bruising).

 Could you offer any idea as to what I may have done or what may have caused this pain?

 Many thanks

Neil Mayo
