Stick with 50 pounds...focus more on being able to
WALK as quickly as possible. Walking a 15 minute mile is the goal to shoot for. Walking is something you can sustain. Running expends a lot of wasted energy and greatly increases your risk of injury.
As for the increased weight same thing. You'll build up to what you need. Stick with 50 pounds in a large ALICE pack. Try to get the weight to sit as high on your shoulders as possible to let you stand up straight.
