"These socks might be your new secret weapon"

The latest device promising to help you run faster is one of the last you'd ever expect: your socks. British star Paula Radcliffe has run her world-record marathons in kneehigh socks, and now a handful of American runners are also reporting success with the geeky-looking hose.

Last February, four of the top 10 finishers in the U.S. Marathon Championships wore knee-highs, including third- and fourth-place finishers Clint Verran and Jeff Campbell. Campbell improved his marathon personal record from 2:19:18 to 2:16:26. "1 use them after hard workout days to help flush out my legs," he says. "After my 2:16, my lower legs definitely felt better than the rest of my body. The socks really work for me."
