Giddy Up, it’s a surprise Giveaway!!! I’m excited to say that I’m doing a *Giveaway* for a pair of PROCompression socks! {Open to everyone}.
Remember a few weeks ago when I wrote this post: I Wear My Compression Socks at Night ….bet your singing that song again 😉 Well, I have been wearing my compression socks A LOT! They are my go to recovery now that I’m running 20-30km a week!

Last year I did a review of PROCompression socks, you can read that here –> My review.
WHY COMPRESSION SOCKS? Why not!
Kidding. On a serious note, compression socks can help your muscles and body recover and help reduce injury. Compression socks help increase blood flow which equals a faster recovery time. Yes, please!
I found when putting compression socks on your feet/legs it can be challenging the first times you do it 😉 I relate it to a wrestling match with a baby when you are trying to change their diaper. Okay, I’m kinda kidding….but I’m kinda not. Over time I have perfected putting mine on but at first it was quite entertaining.
My happy feet post run last night:
Piper’s Post Run Recovery 🙂
Last week I ran 29 kilometers, {#ATWRBR2014}. That’s the most I’ve run per week this year and am at 199 km in total for the year….I totally should have run 6km yesterday instead of 5km but wasn’t paying attention. Oh well, I’ll get it in today! I also got a new PB 5k during my run Friday at lunch! Needless to say, I’ve had some tired muscles this past week and have been relying heavily on my compression socks to help recover, along with some stretching and Yoga.
One lucky reader (open to anyone) can win. The contest will run all this week and close 12/4/14.
Please fill out the Rafflecopter below as this is where I will select a winner from:

I love a hot bath with Epsom salts!
that sounds good!
sweet giveaway!!! I could definitely use some recovery help!
I love them!
This is an awesome giveaway. My best recovery tool is a little rest – I’m learning more and more that I need it!
Ahhh…good old rest. I sure don’t get enough of this 🙂
Nice! I’ve just starting using compression socks for the first time and am definitely noticing a difference.
They make such a difference!
I love compression socks for recovery. I’m currently rehabbing an injury and I find they help with overall support of my leg too!
Bummer about your injury.
Thanks. Feeling a lot better today, but still want to get to the doc to be sure and then get some guidance on finishing my training if I’m okay to run!
I recover with doing my own ultrasound and dry needling!
Sounds interesting.
Sweet! I would love some compression socks… Have yet to try them.
I love compression socks. Love love love them. I would have more but they are so expensive. I hope I win 🙂
They are expensive! I love them too!
Woo hoo, giveaways are the best! One of my favorite ways to recover from a long run includes a pale ale and some serious food. A nice hot shower does the trick, too. I’d love a pair of ProCompression socks to add to the routine.
Love your recovery methods!!!
I love recovering with compression socks! I also use my foam roller a lot.
I need to start using my foam roller more.
Compression socks are awesome! I wear them to work lots too (just for fun)!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who wears them for non-running activities 🙂
I wear my compression socks whenever I am going to be on my feet all day at work, too. I love to do lots of stretching after a run and drink lots of water. A hot soak is good too.
I think people forget to drink water to help with recovery….it’s so important!
I’ve never tried compression socks, but I am definitely intrigued. My favorite way to recover after my Sunday run, is a nap! 🙂 Congrats on all the progress you are making!
Tracy, you will love them! Oh, the days of napping 😉
I foam roll or use my moji, love compression sleeves too!
I foam roll/moji after a run, love my compression sleeves too!
I would love to try compression socks. I am going to train for my first marathon this summer so I will need extra recovery help. Right now, I just do stretching and a hot bath when I am really sore.
All the best with your training! You’ll have to hit up a run in the Maritimes some day 🙂
If I didn’t have to come home and take care of 4 kids under 5, I’d probably do more in the realm of recovery 🙂 Currently, chocolate milk (or white milk) and a good meal are my top thing. Compression socks would be great because I could slip those on and still take care of the kids 😉 I do love multi-tasking.
Wow, you are a busy lady!!! I too, love chocolate milk/white milk after a hard run. I’m all over the multi-tasking too 🙂
Yes, never a dull moment.
after a long run – hot bath then a nap!
Taking a nap is my favorite! 🙂
Naps are lovely 🙂

I LOVE procompression socks, and I have been wanting more! I would love to win this!
My recovery includes stretching, and epsom salt baths. I’d love to have some compression socks, I’ve never tried them!
Now that I’m tackling my first ultra in July, I’m definitely in the market for compression socks. Right now my recovery involves chocolate milk and PB after a hard run and then stretching and foam rolling. Would love to try these socks out!
Thanks for doing this giveway!! I have been wondering about compression socks and this is perfect to try and win them.
I might have to try some compression socks… I don’t really do anything to recover in particular, I guess I should though!
I recover from a long run with a hot shower, stretching and then relaxation
on Saturday I accidentally ran 31 miles in an ultramarathon when I was trying to volunteer. On sunday it was compression socks all the way.
Oh my goodness!
Compression socks are my go-to long run recovery tool – those and the foam roller!
Compression socks are my go-to recovery tool – and my foam roller!
Rest is my #1 choice and hydration.
Thank you for the awesome giveaway! I love ProCompression for recovery, but only have one pair. 🙂

OBSESSED with my procompression low socks! I have a pair of CEP sleeves and am dying to try procompression’s marathon socks.
My favorite ways to recover are procompression socks and a big glass of chocolate milk!
I wear ProCompression socks or fuzzy socks with compression pants to recover!
I LOVE procompression socks. I just lost one somehow, so I’d love to replace them!
Oh, that would be such a bummer.
I have a protein shake and throw on some calf compression sleeves. I would love to have a pair of the marathon socks.
Fun giveaway! I recover from my runs by avoiding doing responsible recovery activities and instead just lazing around on the Internet 🙂
Love it!!!
Love compression socks!
In the warmer (not hot) months, I recover by going inside, grabbing water or Nuun, and then laying outside with my feet up for a little bit.
I have never worn compression socks but I love the colors of them. I saw a guy wearing ones with poke a dots the other day. So cool.
Love that you are doing so much running for #ATWRBR2014!
This is a great giveaway 🙂
Awesome giveaway!!! 🙂
Usually I collapse on the couch.
Ice & stretch!

Legs up against the wall and rest….However I just started wearing PROcompression socks and I can’t get enough….. they are awesome!!!
Might have to try that 🙂
A big fan of compression socks! I have yet to try this brand though!
Recovery at my house is called “bean bag time”. WE all pile into beanbags, turn on a movie, and rest!
LOVE THIS!
Might have to give it a go!
These are my favourite recovery socks! Need more!
