Did you find Qilta Socks and Calf Sleeves helped your post race recovery?
"It's the first time I've tried anything like this and I'll admit I was a little sceptical at first. The Qilta socks and calf guards feel great when you put them on; they give a nice cooling effect with a lovely menthol aroma. I am a triathlon coach specialising in extreme triathlons and I see a lot of products that make various claims, but the Qilta socks and calf guards really do have a positive effect on recovery."
Would you consider using Qilta as part of your race recovery routine?
