The Amazing T socks

What I know was that running was supposed to be a basic sport that may only require comfortable running apparel and rubber shoes. But with the advent of running boom in the Philippines and the opening of many running stores everywhere everything about running become so technical. Runners now have to know what their type of foot is to buy the right type of shoes for them. Even shorts or tights had become scientifically designed to aide runners. Running gadgets such as gps watches, ipods, mp3 players and more abounds in the market. Probably the least attention given to is the pair of socks runners wear. When I started running, any sports socks would do but when I was introduced to a specially design and manufacture socks for runners such as Thorlos, socks now matters.

Swthrt and I was one of the lucky bloggers/runners invited and given Thorlos running socks during its launch in the market. These socks given us have been tested several times in various running condition and different distance race categories and have proven to be above par from other brands. The price may be quite expensive but given the advantages it covers any amount it may cost.  The common experienced of getting blisters after a long run is now history. The socks perfectly hug the feet for added comfort while running.

In the recently concluded TBR Dream Team Run, the Thorlos socks were again used by Team JRunning. The race started at 4:30 am in cold weather condition but with our team’s projected time finish of three hours or more, we were welcome by the intense heat of the sun in the latter part of the race. I was then feeling a burning sensation under my feet probably because of friction plus the heat emitted by the concrete road on our way back to the finish line. I was thinking of the possibility of having blisters after the race. As soon as we crossed the finish line my feet really hurts. We have a few photo shoots in the activity area before we proceeded to our car.

We immediately change clothes and put on our slippers to relax our tired feet. Much to our surprise, we have no blisters on our feet. We have finished the tough 21K race course of the TBR Dream Team Run. As a reward, Swthrt and I bought another pair each of Thorlos socks. This time we want to try the Experia. We are confident that it’s worth the investment. Thanks to Kalvin for the assistance and the freebies.
