Wearing a weighted vest while running certainly has many advantages and can help improve the strength, endurance and the fitness of a runner. If you would like to try running with a weighted vest to see if it benefits speak to your trainer/coach and look into the best vest for you.
While a consistent running regimen will do a great job of strengthening your legs and lungs, it wonât do much for many of the muscles in the rest of your body. A basic 30 to 45 minute strength-training session once or twice a week will improve overall body balance and help lessen the likelihood of an overuse injury. No need to get fancy: your own body weight, a set of dumbbells, and a stability ball will do the trick. Non-running days during the base building phase of your training are an ideal time to incorporate some strength training into your weekly routine.
