If you feel the need to run with extra weight, get a weight vest.  Using
weights at a distance from the shoulder and/or hip/knee adds extra force
to that joint that may do damage (especially ankle weights, I'd think).
We (the jumpers) used weight vests in college while doing stadium stair
climbs, hill climbs, and some sprinting.  Definitely increases power (and
the likelihood of tossing lunch).
