I've used one before, I think for 800m and under it definitely works, but over that distance I tended to suck if I combined the weight vest with too much anaerobic work. I pack 20 pounds into it and do plyos and once a week repeats, usually 200m, with 20 pounds again. You'll never know if you don't try, right? Take a look at this website, http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/0001.htm
Weight Vest
Nike Frees
Stadium step reps.
You'll be speed demon after a couple of months of that.
