Any sides effects from using a weighted vest?
Incorporating a weighted vest into my runs (gotta burn off more of this weight), anyone know of any side effects from it?

Sure. You're adding additional stress on your joints. That said, if you start slow with it, and pay attention to your body, you'll be working the right muscles harder.

No experience with this, but I assume one starts lightly and then add more weight each time. Better talk to a professional trainer.

As Tminus pointed out, don’t run. Wears out your joints, cycle instead.
