    Build up endurance in their arms.

    Running with weighted vest is a bad idea. Already enough impact on your knees with just your bodyweight.

    Depends on the weight......... 100 kg will destroy your knees and 0.1 kg will feel like running with a phone in your pocket.

    It's not so bad in circuit training is it?

    I guess it’d depend on a weight class of some sort.

    20 lbs is a whole different classic weight without the frame to back it up.

    For running that is......... circuit training ultimately should have less impact on the joints.
