Anyone use wrist/ankle weights while running?
I saw wrist and ankle weights in the store, and was curious if anybody used them and would recommend them while running.

I've never used them, or seen anyone using it. what are they for?

generally, don't run with weight on you (like a backpack etc) it will only get you a injury but I don't know about ankle weights maybe they are different

That link doesn't mention anything about the wrist weights. They seem like a good idea, but I don't know, I tried them on and they felt like they could become annoying if I wore them for an extended run.

Best off using a weighted Vest like the one available from Reebok that looks like a Flack Jacket, can load up to 10kg.
