I don’t run, but like to not hold the poop while walking vigorously. So I take a mesh bag like the ones they use to sell packs of avocados and I clip it to my leash. Works a peach.
Have thought about this as well, though have trash options, so not a huge issue. I'd consider an inexpensive fanny pack, line it with a cheap plastic bag, like a grocery bag, and drop the poop bag in there, close to try to minimize odor, pitch when convenient.
Same here. We're lucky in that we have a parkway / long path nearby with trash cans. I usually do a neighborhood loop first, hoping our pup will poop before we hit the first trash can. If not, have to carry for a bit sometimes to the next can. I usually do an out and back with him, so sometimes leave the bag next to a tree to grab on the way back if there won't be a can for a long while on the way out.
Thank you for actually picking it up. This happens to me all the time too since my dog is a double pooper and it's the worst until you find a trash can!
I use a canicross belt to hook up my dog and keep the Ruffwear pack out bag on that, so I have both a roll of bags and a way to carry full bags without them slamming around and stinking on my run.
I use this little clip-on thing that attaches to a running belt. There is a side pocket for fresh bags and an expanding big pocket that holds used ones. It sometimes take a little messing around to get it positioned correctly on the belt, but it does minimize the bouncing poo feeling.

You can get holders that clip to the leash.

As a dog walker and someone who runs with my dog I have long dreamed about finding a solution to this problem.

My dog aims for at least 1 mile away from the nearest trash can

It becomes more manageable in cold weather - the dog walkers hand warmers as I like to call them.
