The role of compression stockings in tapering
During tapering, everything revolves around optimal recovery, and Herzog Compression Socks can play a valuable role in this. The graduated compression of these socks stimulates blood circulation, which helps to remove waste products more quickly and improves oxygen supply to the muscles. This contributes to faster recovery and reduces the risk of heavy, tired legs in the final days before the race. By wearing compression socks during rest days or light training, you optimally support your muscles and ensure that you appear at the start with fresh, well-circulated legs.
The last days before the match
The last days before your race are all about optimal recovery and preparation. Hydrate well, eat a balanced diet and make sure you rest. A short, light workout one or two days before the race helps to keep your muscles activated without straining them.
Tapering is an essential part of your preparation and can make the difference between a good and a great performance. By tapering your training in the right way, you give your body the chance to appear at the start in top form. So dare to rest, trust your preparation and enjoy your race!
