The point of ankle weights (if im understanding what they are correctly) is to provide resistance when you run and give your muscles a better workout. They dont make you faster, they are for strengthening your legs.

YES - with explanation.
Use of weights while training will build muscle faster. When you eventually remove the weights and run, the muscles you have additionally built will help in your ability to run better. So, it is the use of weights during training which will help you be more fit for running when you do not have the weights.

Use your brain. How can weights make you run faster? DAH!!! Adding resistance increases strength, not endurance.

NO: i am a trainer and i can tell you that weight/resistance running is not used for speed gains. it adds leg strength and will make you a more powerful runner.

NO.
makes your leg muscles stronger, but won't make you run faster.
