    Thanks for posting.

    I've been thinking about them because I really need to wear them at work - I have some venous return issues - and thought it might be the same during running. However, I don't get the fluid accumulation while running yet - indicating I don't need to wear them running. When my distances go longer, that could happen, I suppose

    Then there is that sentence in conclusion talking about muscle damage being the trigger to physiological change...

    Good article. When I first started running I was bothered by frequent calf & shin pain. Compression socks helped a lot. Eventually I got to the point where I didn't need them except for long runs.
