The Backpack and the Long Run

On six day I had a few challenges with backpack for the first few miles, where it would not keep still and as a result one of the straps was rubbing my right shoulder.

I tried to adjust the straps as I was running but any tightening would loosen due to the movement of the backpack, so in the end I stopped and took the backpack off to investigate.

The problem was that all the clothing (triple bagged) I had stuffed in there and it had created a lump at the bottom of the backpack - the solution, and for me to remember for July is to smooth everything down so it maximises to be vertically flat with my back.

The getting lost event the week before, and backpack issues this time are all part of learning so I am ready for the 100km race.
