Uncover your inner athlete!

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.. Each morning in Africa a lion awakes - it knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve.


No matter if you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up you had better be running!

The final chapter in the compression socks saga

I have finally received my Nike socks that I ordered some time ago and tried them out on a suitably hard session yesterday (it was also raining) and found that not only did they provide the level of compression that I was after, but they also proved to be waterproof even though the product only claimed moisture wicking.


In short my conclusion is positive on a twofold level namely the ability to keep my feet dry and to provide adequate compression. I don’t normally endorse anything from Nike, but on this occasion I am breaking my own rule and although there have been a few smart comments from friends that my long white socks look like they belong to a matron in the National Health Service, I can endure this sort of ribbing for the sake of happy calves.
