Do I just have a massive car key and other musings of my new running belt.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, in the end as decathlon is my nearest store I popped and got one from there and I might have tried on cycle helmets while I was there :D

I also find decathlon less intimidating than sports direct and other sports stores, one day I will pluck up the courage and go into a running store (when I have mythical money to treat myself to new trainers, I want funky go faster ones maybe in pink or purple :D yeah I am a bit girlie, making up for those 'lost' years when I refused anything unless it was black).

Extended to full length it does indeed fit around my middle and isn't too tight, the stap is elastic so should be comfy and it's flat so should hide nicely under my top.

Now my main issue is that the key section is too small for my car key, do I have an exceptionally large car key!? It's only a little car! So will have to be careful with phone car key combo to avoid scratching phone, which will only be when I'm out on a park run as the rest of the time I don't need to take keys with me.

Tomorrow will be my first run to test it out and also not so dumb phones first run outing as well, need to load some music onto it which should be interesting as I have to remember what in my iTunes library will play on any device and what is locked to apple devices.

She who travels lightest , travels fastest! You could ditch the car key if you left the car at home.

I hate carting stuff out with me, even a car key feels like a lead weight when you're flagging. I have started putting my small phone into the back pocket of my nikes but only in view of Wobblegate!
