In recent years recovery has become a sports and fitness buzzword. Anyone who works out or competes at any level is bombarded with the latest recovery products and services: from drinks and shakes to compression sleeves, foam rollers, electrical muscle stimulators, and sleep trackers.

In Good to Go, acclaimed FiveThirtyEight science writer Christie Aschwanden takes readers on an entertaining and enlightening tour through this strange world. She investigates whether drinking Gatorade or beer after training helps or hinders performance; she examines the latest trends among athletes, from NFL star Tom Brady's infrared pajamas to gymnast Simone Biles' pneumatic compression boots to swimmer Michael Phelps's "cupping" ritual; and she tests some of the most controversial methods herself, including cryochambers, float tanks, and infrared saunas.

At a time when the latest recovery products and services promise so much, Good to Go seeks answers to the fundamental question: Do any of them actually help the body recover and achieve peak performance?

Great socks
Size: X-Large, Color: White/Graphite (6-pairs)
I really like these socks. Feel good, long lasting, high quality. Fortunately they are not as high at the ankle as they look in the picture.

Very Nice Athletic Socks - Fit as expected.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black/Graphite (6-pairs)
So far so good. I purchased the XL size and they fit well for my size 14 feet. They seem to have held up well in the 7 days I have been wearing them - 2 washes so far. Only time will tell if they last. I do know if you walk around the house in your socks they will develop holes on the bottom much faster than if you just wear them in shoes.

Favorite socks
Size: X-Large, Color: Black/Graphite (6-pairs)
Great quality, very comfortable and soft. Have a decent thickness to them without making your feet hot and aren't too tight around the ankles

comfy as heck
Size: X-Large, Color: Black/Graphite (6-pairs)
the only real issue i have with these is if you use them for more active things they wear out kind of quickly

Some of the best socks I’ve ever worn
Size: X-Large, Color: Black/Graphite (6-pairs)
Some of the best socks I’ve ever worn. I am a size 13 and it’s hard to find good fitting socks (especially in no show) and these fit perfectly. They are also incredibly soft, probably some of the softest I own. I will continue to buy this brand for as long as they are around
