Kelty Falcon Lumbar Pack - 400 cu in
The Kelty Falcon lumbar pack is a compact lumbar pack with one thing on its mind—water. Featuring a hydration pocket with a tube port, two mesh water bottle pockets, and two included 26 ounce water bottles, the Kelty Falcon gives you no excuse to run out of juice on the trail. A delrin rod frame combined with compression straps hold the load snug and secure against your back, ensuring maximum comfort. Being a lumbar pack, the Falcon naturally relieves your shoulders of the strain of carrying a typical backpack. If you want to wear it in a more urban style, however, the Kelty Falcon converts to a sling bag with an adjustable, padded over-the-shoulder strap. The waist belt stows neatly out of sight.

Good, but bulky...prefer Camelbaks.

Training Tips
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
If you want to make progess in your training, join a running group. A commitment to meet on a regular basis with a group of like minded individuals will help you keep your focus.
