Be 100% fit at the start of your marathon

Your marathon or road race preparations are going extremely well. Your weekly volume is more than ever, you're getting into shape and your mileage times prove that you're ready. Nice! Yet these are also the weeks in which you can make crucial mistakes... For example, by ignoring muscle pain or minor aches and pains. Maybe you recognize it: stiff calves, a nagging Achilles tendon or pain in your shin. Can compression socks provide the extra support you need in your final weeks of training?

Prevent injuries

Your body has to endure an extreme amount of stress during your marathon or road race preparation. You've probably heard it before... With every landing while running, you catch up to 3 times your own body weight. Stiff calves are often the first sign that your body needs a little extra support. The compression socks from Herzog can provide a solution in this regard. Herzog socks are knitted in such way that the shock load on the lower leg is efficiently absorbed. The special pressure gradient of Herzog socks and tubes ensures that you have less chance of injuries to calves, shins and Achilles tendons. In addition, the socks ensure better blood circulation and better removal of waste products in your muscles.

What makes Herzog socks unique?

At Herzog they understand that every runner is unique. After all, a slender marathon runner with shoe size 42 has different calf contours than a sprinter with the same shoe size. Herzog Medical therefore has a unique measuring system where the size is determined on the basis of 6 measuring points. With a range consisting of 54 ready-to-wear sizes, you are always assured that the compression is matched on your legs! Top teams such as the Athletics Union, Alpecin-Deceuninck and the KNKV therefore consciously choose Herzog.

Recover faster after your workout

Are you often unable to get off the couch on Sunday afternoons after that long run or interval training? Then put on your Herzog socks to give your recovery a big boost. By wearing Herzog socks at rest you stimulate your blood circulation, which means that the waste products of the combustion process are removed more quickly. The result? You recover faster, you experience less muscle pain and you are better rested for your next training.

It is certain that a marathon is an extreme effort and that your body could use some extra support. With Herzog's compression technology you will soon get the most out of your marathon.

“During my time as a physiotherapist at NAC Breda, I recommended the PRO Compression Shorts from Herzog Medical to many players. These trousers are worn both preventively and curatively. Within football, the incidence of groin and hamstring injuries is high. With Herzog shorts you, as a physiotherapist, have an extra tool to properly manage these problems.”
