The last major run with a back pack was a 20km training effort with a close-to full back pack, including the sleeping mat on the back.
I have decided to go with a cheap foam mat, rather than an inflatable one, as I understand that there are lots of thorns that often puncture sleeping mats. As someone has told me - inflatable = deflatable!
I had done a 29km run the day before, so I was fairly tired leading into this training run, and being another warm day in the 30's, found it hard to run too much. So it was mostly a walk.
Still I looked the part...
And the coastral trail is a wonderful place to do your training.

Not the best training session, tired and hot and the feet were a bit sore at the end. Will try and run as much as possible in the sahara, seems to be easier on the feet than walking.
