Best way to carry macbook on a run?

Buy a scooter or learn to ride a bike

Just walk

You can buy a foldable push scooter for about $100 on Amazon. I have one that I use to go from the parking lot to the indoor track. You should be able to cover 5k in less than 20 minutes without working up a sweat... 15 minutes with a moderate effort. Or you could buy an electric scooter for $300 or so... probably less off of Facebook Marketplace.

If you must go with a backpack, you can use any backpack by adding bungees/elastic bands to connect the two shoulder straps across the chest and the waist. It will stop the bouncing.

EDITED TO ADD: If you get a push or kick scooter, pay a little extra to get the bigger wheels. Bigger wheels are a lot more stable and safer to ride. My scooter has 8"x1 1/4" wheels. I wouldnt go any smaller. Cracks in the sidewalk will catch a small wheel. If storage isn't a problem, you can get a kick bike with 12" wheel in the back and a 26" wheel in front. I have one. You can safely go faster with the bigger wheels. I can average 12 mph at a moderately hard effort on level ground.

Just admit it, you got a dui.

There is no good way to run with a laptop, especially a Mac. Just leave the computer at work.

Find a boyfriend to drive you to work every day.

Geb carried his books with his left arm running 10k to and from school.

For 5K I would walk or get a scooter. If you want to run, you need a small backpack with a chest and a waist strap, so that it won't bounce around. The chest strap is particularly important.

There are messenger bags and backpacks made specifically for you -- like thousands of them.

What kind of employer hires someone who cannot solve a basic problem like this one?

Exactly. It was the only correct answer for a stupid question like OP’s.
