Pull weights while running
Previously I had asked about carrying hand weights while running.

Can we pull weights while running? Tie a rope to our hip and the weight.
I am planning to run on the beach sand nearby.

My question is, is there any use in doing this? Will I improve my speed or my strength or both?

There are three common ways of increasing resistance while running:

Hill running - the downside is your form has to change.
Resistance parachutes - you can maintain your normal form, and the added resistance is useful for increasing your strength and power while running (although not a replacement for strength training in the gym)
Pushing or pulling a weighted prowler sled - this isn't really running anymore, but is a really good conditioning and endurance/strength exercise for the legs, hips, and core.

I think your idea of pulling weights falls into this category.
