What do you carry your phone etc in while running?

12 Replies

Hi All

I'm wondering what other folk use to carry their stuff in while running and could use some suggestions.

I need to have my phone, keys and inhaler with me.

I currently use a karrimor x lite waist pack but it's too big.

A lot of folk use arm bands but what then do you do with the inhaler?

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I've got a Nike 'running belt' which has my phone and keys, it'd probably fit an inhaler too just about. It's a bit like one of those belts you can get for travelling to put your money in. I think karrimor do one too actually...

Get a Large Spibelt as this will fit a large i-phone, keys and your inhaler - the belt is elasticated and can be adjusted. You need to wear it pretty snug so it doesn't move around. There are a few cheaper imitations around but don't get anywhere near the good reviews of the 'proper' one. I have just got one as I was relying on an armband which was fine (I don't have an inhaler) but was starting to rub my arm in the warmer weather.

I got this waist pack recently, it's really good! I reckon all your stuff would fit in it, my phone's a Nexus 5, size 7.2x14.7 cm (for comparison).

Oops, sorry, I just checked and the phone's not quite so big - more like 6.7x13.7 cm

I use my Nathan stretchy waist belt for my phone, mp3 on my armband and keys in the little zippy pocket in the waistband of my running leggings.

I carry water in one of those donut shaped bottles for the warm down walk.

Not sure I would feel confident carrying my phone in an armband in case it got dropped somehow...

I'm usually able to get doorkey and small phone in my pocket. You can get a running belt that takes it all including a fitting with water bottle/s for the warmer weather or then there's​ a back pack that takes everything including the kitchen sink!😊

for half hour runs i just carry everything in my hand.

Whilst carrying a DSLR on a selfie stick in the other hand.

My running suffers but I have forearms like Popeye now.

When running around the doors, I just carry my phone in an armband and ocassionally a house key, if I'm the only one home. I don't listen to music, as I prefer to run amongst the backdrop of tweeting birds and rustling trees.

If running further afield, such as the beach, I'll carry my phone, car keys and a small amount of money in my running belt

I've got a cheaper version of a 'flipbelt' which I got on amazon which sits around my hips. I can fit my Samsung phone, car keys, inhaler and the all important jelly babies on longer runs and hardly know it's there.

Salomon have a good belt with water bottle and pockets for smaller items. They're designed for hiking but work well on a run especially as the weather gets hotter. Their running gear always seems to have a pocket in too including their tops which are ideal for keys and inhalers.
