Will you be 100% fit at the start of your marathon?
  • Herzog Medical

Your marathon or road race preparations are going excellently. Your weekly mileage is higher than ever, you're getting in shape, and your split times prove you're ready. Fantastic! However, these are also the weeks when you can make crucial mistakes… For example, by ignoring muscle soreness or minor aches and pains. Perhaps you recognize it: stiff calves, a nagging Achilles tendon, or shin pain. Can compression socks offer that extra support you need in your final training weeks?

Prevent injuries

Your body takes an extreme beating during your marathon or road race preparation. You've probably heard it before... With every landing while running, you absorb up to 3 times your own body weight. Stiff calves are often the first sign that your body needs a little extra 'support'. Herzog compression socks can offer a solution here. Herzog socks are knitted in such a 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. 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 uniquemeasurement systemwhere the ready-made size is determined based on 6 measuring points. With an assortment consisting of no fewer than 54 ready-made sizes, you are thereforealwaysassured that the compression is tailored toyourlegs! Top teams such as the AtletiekUnie, Alpecin-Deceuninck and the KNKV therefore deliberately choose Herzog.

Recover faster after your training

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

It is clear that a marathon is an extreme effort and that your body could use some extra support. With Herzog's compression technology, you'll get everything out of your marathon.
