I was a garage powerlifter and garage strongman. I had crazy aches and pains and injuries from chasing those numbers. I pivoted and I'm just about injury free (I'm still working on a couple of things). I highly suggest their content.
Granted it may not work for everyone because of different biological and structural differences, but it's worth looking into.
The next thing I would expect someone to say is that "isn't running a natural human movement" and yes, I do agree. But further discussion leads down weird rabbit holes that may be hard for people to get on board with (again I believe them because these changes worked for me).

I have flat feet, so when I'd try to go for runs in my youth, shin splints would sideline me for days after.
Then I went to a store that catered specifically to runners, they put me on a treadmill and gave me a good once over and hooked me up with a shoe specifically for my arch less condition. And since then- no real shin pain after my runs. It was night and day.
So, yeah, adding a few pounds of weight when you run shouldn't kill your legs.

4-10lbs? That is less than a camelback used for hiking.

I went a different route. I also have flat feet. I never had shin splints but I would have knee pain after running. I went the barefoot / minimalist path, changing my shoes, foot placement (toes / feet straight ahead), foot strike (mid to fore foot) and stride width (not too far as to over extend you legs from your body). It was a huge change over time but it paid off for me.
As they walk past they have these. I get that they don't need much weight but I'm not sure I see why for the rest of us

That said, they also say that there's currently no consensus that forefoot or misfoot striking is better than heelstriking. Heels Heelstriking appears to be fine, as long as it's not a result of overstriding.
