Customer Review: Helped newbie runner avoid aggravating groin injury
Rating: 4 Stars
I am a newbie runner, having taken it up a little less than a year ago. I've been training for a half marathon in February and have had a nagging soreness in my upper thigh, which I've been told is a groin strain. I had been running in typical shorts with no compression. Rather than "push through it," I decided to take a week and a half off of running during the holidays in order to let the injury heal. I had been researching the use of compression shorts and thought I'd give these a try to see if they'd reduce muscle fatigue and reduce the aggravation of my groin strain.
I've been using these for about a month now and believe they've really helped. While my groin strain hasn't gone away completely, I feel it especially after long runs, I do feel better support when I run. I went with these 3/4 tights, rather than full tights, primarily because I live in San Diego, it doesn't get all that cold here, and I get easily overheated.
The only downside I've discovered with these tights is that my calves, the only portion of my legs that are not compressed, sometimes begin to ache in the middle of my long runs (>10 miles). I might try the full tights that are ventilated in order to avoid this problem.
Overall, I'm happy with these and would recommend them.
P.S. My worry about the appearance a 40-something dude, with somewhat of a 40-something belly, running in 3/4 tights quickly went out the window when I discovered these make my runs more enjoyable. Now I don't particularly care what people think!
