Should I run in compression socks or use them only for recovery?

Reviewer consensus

This is the most contested point in the data. r/Marathon_Training commenters say some socks are better worn after activity for circulation and reduced swelling, while r/running users specifically praise CEP for use both during runs and for hours afterward. Several runners on r/trailrunning consider running compression 'overrated' and prioritize blister protection instead.
