I'm a fairly inexperienced runner. I can do a 5k regularly, getting further is difficult for me. My legs do get tired and I wonder if compression socks would help me get further?

Thank you!!

    It's not your clothes that are going to get your ability to surpass your anaerobic threshold or build up your V02 max.
    It is training.

    If you're working on furthering distance add more progressive long runs.
    If you're looking for a faster speed do fartlek training and intervals.

    Compression sock will help recovery & soreness. But they won't help you go faster or further.
