KT Tape Review & Giveaway

I first saw KT Tape back when I did the Tinkerbell Half Marathon . Unfortunately at that expo I really didn't have the time to stop and get taped by them, I wish I had though because then I would have discovered how much I LOVE it!

As you may know I occasionally experience problems with Runner's Knee especially on my longer runs. I reached out to KT Tape to see if they'd give me a chance to try their product. I was so grateful that they sent me 2 whole rolls of KT Tape Pro!

I received the tape just in time for my back-to-back long run weekend. I was so excited to try it as I needed to take advantage of every recovery method possible for 17km on Saturday and then 24km on Sunday! I believe KT Tape and compression socks saved me that weekend, I'm not sure my knee would have survived...

When I first opened the box my biggest concern was being able to put the tape on in the right way so that it would support my knee and provide stability. However I need not worry because their directions are totally awesome, they even have videos with further description as well as printable instructions for each ailment.
Here is the Runner's Knee video:

Mine doesn't look quite as nice as the video but I definitely feel the support.

Contrasting tape for my back to back weekend!
Taping for BMO Vancouver International Half Marathon tomorrow!
It's not just for your knee, KT Tape Pro provides relief, support, and stability for a variety of issues, you can check that out here. At $19.99 for 20 Pro Strips it may seem on the expensive side but the convenience and value in the product makes it worth it in my opinion. I now have 4 rolls of KT Tape so I can match all my different running outfits!

Tomorrow's race is a pink day thus the pink KT Tape. I will have a review coming up, but I'll give you a hint; so far race weekend has been pretty A-MAZING including a lunch with Bart Yasso, so cool! You'll have to wait for the details because I need sleep before Half Marathon #14 tomorrow!

So to tie you over in the meantime here is my KT Tape giveaway:
