I used to walk with a weight vest that resembles very closely a chest plate carrier (or whatever they’re called). Got many many looks before I got an oversized shirt to wear.

Any sports store will have a weighted vest specifically for this purpose
Yeah but they won’t rub you the REALLY WRONG way.
Let me state for the record... I DON'T RUN (unless someone is chasing me with a machete... even then, my preferred solution would be to turn and fire)... the joke on my high school baseball team was that I had to hit a triple to get a single (actually that was probably pretty accurate)... but I do walk a lot. Have recently taken to strapping my dive belt over my back like a bandoleer to add weight and increase my endurance. It has been working out pretty well and isn't at all uncomfortable.... I've got about 80lbs of dive weights so if I wanted I could simulate a full rucksack pretty easily (I don't typically do that). If I were inclined to run (highly unlikely) I agree that I probably wouldn't do it with added weights as my knees are already pretty shot.
Nooo. Stop it! It's 2018. Not 2081!

I don't understand...you're running with a ball and chain, and still need something to slow you down?
Maybe he needs a girlfriend too...

Just tryin' ta slow you down sport.
Perfect excuse to buy a bass boat on a trailer, as something to pull behind you. "It's for my cardio, honey!"

I got mine after two years of begging for a Harley(she totalled yer leg in a motorcycle accident after we got married). I said "well then, what about a bass boat?". She said sure. Let's go buy one!
How about run uphill from your house and then find another uphill route back to your house?
Both ways in the snow without shoes
****We have these at the gym I go to. There's another brand as well made by Power Systems. Adjustable weights and pretty comfortable. I always joke with folks running in them that they are training to be suicide bombers.
Just eat more and you can make your own weight vest! 10,20,40 lbs in 1 lbs increments. Almost the very definition of progressive overload!
Here's a pic of a guy doing a sophisticated stabilization and motor coordination exercise with his weight vest....
