My 18 year old lad is planning to go in the forces next year and I'm looking for a pack that he can use to run with.
I've looked at some running specific packs but most are fairly small and I was thinking about something about 30 litres. He's 5'10 medium build....
Any recommendations?
Thanks
What does he want to put in it? Some water and a top, or weight?
If it's the later then don't. They will build him up to that in training gradually, and recommend people don't run with weight before they come due to likelihood of injury.
Follow the provided training program, don't start your own.
Aarn Tate? Was Vango (in their more premium days) wasn't he? He certainly designed the Vango Hurricane, a pretty high quality nylon tent in the early days of such things.
His knees will get enough battering as it is without starting early. Get him out running, across country and build up gradually. If he can run 7-10 miles on paths at a 9 minute mile pace without really stopping he'll have a really good start.
