    I don’t know about the sauna suit, but the weighted vest will help. It helps you with more weight and it will probably make you sweat more. We use weight vests in volleyball training to help us jump higher. Then we take it off and do the same drills but we are able to go higher. It would help you with running.

    Other than sweating a lot and probably injuring yourself you are not going to accomplish anything good by doing that.

    dash it all mate. throw out that rubbish. run normally and you’ll be fine. sweat suits can dehydrate you. its just water wieght, not fat. as for the weighted vest, as long as its not restricting or a hazard to ventilation, i suppose its okay. try running 5 km every other day, doesnt matter your speed.
