At a motor-racing, rowing or cross-country equestrian event for example I would cover many miles. I used to shoot sport, and you will often see sports photographers carrying them that way at events. I don't think my neck and shoulder would cope with it on a strap these days! You can also carry it by one's side, in the hand with straight arm with the lens pointing down (as soldiers do with heavy guns), monopod is probably better unextended in that case. Easy to swap shoulders to share the load or to bring it into use if you keep the monopod extended just make sure it is well padded. In that case I would carry it over my shoulder like a brickie's mate's hod lens pointing down my back.
With a very long lens esp like a 150-600, the OP's 100-400 is maybe more marginal, I would be using a monopod in the lens tripod bush anyway (essential in the days before IS).
