Will running daily have any effect on spider veins?

It may: And it may be advised for you to wear compression type garments particularly if you have incompetent venous valves. However don't stop! because running can also improve the pumping action of the muscles. Just get some counseling and wear appropriate support.

No: In general, exercise is good for people with vein problems, however it will not improve appearance of spider veins. If concerned, you should see a vein specialist.

No improvement: As drs. Oren and placik said, running isn't likely to diminish their appearance but exercise is good for you, so don't quit.
