I've got 3 backpacks I run with.
The first is a salomon skiing bag, which is probably sub 10 litres but is basically a gilet and the front has 2 big and 2 small pockets on, its super comfortable and I can get underwear a sandwich and a shirt in. Great for long runs as it contains a bladder, has enough room for gloves/hat/jacket and first aid pack and the front will hold an mp3 player and enough energy bars/snacks to run all day.
Second is a 20l north face mountain biking pack which they have discontinued but is awesome for slightly lasrger loads and the compression straps keep everything close to the body so is very comfortable.
Third is a new osprey back which is an all day hiking mtb bag and about 30l. I've run with it e times so far and hated it, as it sings all over the place due to insufficient compression and it feels like its shaped for cycling in.
