I’ve been doing daily cardio on the treadmill after I finish my normal workout while wearing my new Kifaru 44mag. It’s on a 26” frame with composite stays. I’ve been loading the pack with 55-60 pounds and and gradually increasing the incline every 60 seconds till I max it out. I’m running the hip belt in the area I feel I’m supposed to. About 5 min into the session, my left hip begins to burn/hurt pretty bad. Right hip is fine and the rest of me is just fine. If I loosen the hip belt, the left hip pain/burn goes away. I can keep going for however long I want. But this keeps all the weight on my upper body. I’m in pretty good shape and pretty well built so this isn’t a problem for 20-30 min while doing cardio, but on a all day pack, I know this won’t work out. I need to have that weight on my hips. When I loosen the belt, I’ll go for 5–10 more minutes and there is no pain. I’ll cinch it back up and within 5 min my left hip is on fire again. I’ll loosen it off and it’s just fine again. My conclusion is it’s the belt putting pressure on my left hip that is causing the pain. Not the weight I’m carrying. Am I running the belt too tight? Too high/low? Is it just me and I’m being a puss and need to stop whining?
Any insight would be appreciated.
