At the Disney expo these were the hot items to get. Michelle and I have never really used compression calf sleeves or anything compression for that matter. So we were excited to give them a try. We wore them a few hours on Friday at the expo before our race and really liked them. The morning of our half marathon we decided to wear our new compression calf sleeve during the race.
Here are some benefits to compression socks: great to reduce lactic acid and help with circulation. It forces blood back to the heart.
My knees were really the only thing that were hurting during the race besides my stomach from time to time. I was surprised how great I felt during the race. I loved my outfit and I loved my new compression socks so it helped me feel more like a ‘runner’. Maybe that helped push me through the race!
2) Bamboo running pants.
If you have been following us for some time now you know that our older sister has your own athletic wear company called Raw Threads which she offers these pants plus many more great bamboo tech products.
Since the weather was supposed to be a little chilly we decided to run in pants for our half marathon . But not just any pair of pants… bamboo pants.
And let me just say they were AMAZING!
I have worked out in a few of Raw Threads shirts and love them, but never a pair of pants. And the bamboo compression pants totally exceeded my expectations. Actually all 3 of us at the end of the race were like wow these pants are AWESOME! They are definitely going to be my long pants to workout in from now on!
Now I am not just saying this about these bamboo pants to support my sister but because I truly LOVED THE PRODUCT! I never once was bothered while running. Never had to pull up the pants like I used to with other style running pants (which was annoying). Plus they were so soft, really felt like second skin!!
Twins Question: Have you ever worn any bamboo style products before? Have you tried compression calf sleeves or pants before?
Still to come part 2 of being twins . The story will continue.
