We have been using the Normatec Recovery Boots at home since Christmas of 2021. You can find them in many collegiate athletic training rooms, typically used to help reduce swelling in sprained ankles and other injuries of the leg. Noël utilized them in college as a gymnast, and Josh was able to see them in use at a few of the stops during his coaching career. We purchased them primarily for training leading up to Noël’s first 100 mile race in Feb 2022 as her mileage was higher than it had ever been. The added recovery benefits they provide along with all the strength training, mobility, hydration, sleep, and proper fueling helped her crush her first ever 100 miler.

Not everyone is going to need to pay $700+ for a recovery modality like this, but when you run 70+ miles a week year-round, it was an investment worth making. There are other products similar to this on the market,but we have found the Hyperice Normatec to be the best.

“With running in the mornings, my legs can get pretty stiff by the end of the day, so by using the Normatec boots at night before bed, I’ve noticed a marked difference in how my legs feel the next morning. This has an added benefit of helping me know if something is just sore, or if something is injured.”
