When people say run with a runsack most people think "Run" and try and put that view in their head into motion. It don't work and will only beat your body into pieces.
"Running with a rucksack" is more like moving from a fast range walk into an Airborne Shuffle type movement only a hair faster than the range walk. The trick is to run from the hips down, keeping the lower back and body level and straight. This keeps the rucksack from swinging and bouncing.
It's a good change of pace to be used now and again, and make up time here and there, but it will wear out your knees and thighs real quick.
Best to develope a solid stride and fast range walk pace. Be able to pound out mile after mile after mile. Disconect your mind from your feet and drive on. After 6 miles it's a mental game.
