Running already isn't particularly great on the knees and adding weight adds to this issue. Just don't add too much weight at once I would say. You need it for the military though so you will have to get used to it. I don't think it can be a huge issue though because I know a lot of people that run with weights and I haven't heard that there is a big correlating problem with retired service people.

I was in the forces for years, and as long as you have a backpack with support bars in it, shouldn't be a problem...if your just using a schoolbag you may end up with back problems. Just some food for thought.

do you think it is possible for a normal person , no special athlete
to run 8km in 25 mins? that sounds a bit to fast to me

Definitely not a slow pace but, athletes retain that kind of pace for a marathon... As long as you are training for it then its achievable. Why not try it? see how you do

How did your 8km go?
The best person to tell you if something is ok for your body is you! If you feel any strain or any aching joints then maybe take it back a notch and gradually build up to it. You may need it for your career but you're not going to get that far if you injure yourself right off the bat. Listen to your body take it at your own pace.

hey, what I mean about support bars is that in many say hiking bags, and our military bags, there are either metal or hard plastic bars that keep the weight from gathering in one spot, they usually run the full length of thebag on the back. Some bags you can get have bars you can bend so they shape just right for your back. might be worth a look if you are going to be running with heavy weight on your back.

Running normally puts a lot of pressure on the knees, the heavier you are the worse it is, that's why a lot of professional athletes who get knee problems, loose weight and then generally don't suffer as much. SO I'd say running with 20kg can be rather nasty if you don't build it up gradually, i.e. walking first then slowly building up the run time.

What can you do against feeling sick? Usually a sign you working very hard, try going slower, or decreasing the distance or what not until your stamina builds up. I wouldn't push yourself too hard, less is more is the phrase that comes to mind, for example I run/play sport 3-4 times a week and I feel a lot fitter than when I used to do 7+ times a week. Rest gives your body the much needed time to recover.
