To be honest they can make your legs feel a bit odd when you first take them off dependant upon just how tight they are. I have been known to sleep in them if I have done a 20/22 mile marathon training run and for a while it feels like they are still there. As long as you don't feel as though you have injured anything I wouldn't worry.

I have no problems during my long runs in training, but I have gone down with considerable cramp in quite a few marathons recently. Would wearing calf guards solely for marathons be a solution?
