Turns out I quite like it but what do I do about my phone? I have to get Bluetooth headphones and a waterproof pouch for my phone??

It's the best isn't it?? I have got through stacks of earphones and I ensure my phone is zipped up in my back pocket where it stays dry on a short run and in my backpack for a long one :)

I've not tried it myself, but elsewhere I've read about putting your phone in a plastic 'zip-lock' or similar plastic sandwich bag. Then you can run the earphone cable out of a corner and maybe up under your top. It does assume you have pockets or one of those belts with built in pockets.

Yes I agree with SleepySloth , I stick my phone in one of those little ziplock freezer bags and then put it in my bumbag . Works a treat ! :-) xxx

My phone goes in a Karrimor belt with 2 zip pockets, one with an headphone outlet. Not totally waterproof by any means, but has done the job for three years and the phone still works.
