Running with my phone

[Andreawint]

How do people run with their phone? I have the ap on my Samsung S7 and have to hold it in my hand. It is a real pain in the arse. How do you do it?

If you go onto Amazon and type in your model and “running cases” they tend to have loads. I got one for my phone from there and it works brilliantly

I use a running belt. Loads on offer at chain sports stores. Test to see if the phone fits.

You can get all sorts of belts,bags,cases that go on your arm but i find it essiest while the weather is cold to wear a top with a pocket & i keep it in there.i find it much easier to get it in & out of there to muck about with runkeeper as i have to turn it on as i am about to run from walking.i find it tricky with phone cases!!!

I buy shorts and capris with a zip at the back as I hate anything strapped to me. I then feed my headphones down the back....

I have an armband which my phone goes in. It’s reflective so makes me extra visible when I’m out at night. I got it really cheap in sports direct.

I had an armband but found it difficult to turn apps on or off etc so now I have a simple belt thing with a little zip up pocket which fits my phone and door key. I then thread my earphone up through my top.

To begin with I shoved it down my shock absorber bra. It was actually quite comfortable. Then I had an arm band. Once I got to the stage where I didn't need to listen to the app, I got a belt. I would love to leave the phone at home altogether, but i take it for safety reasons in case I have a fall and am injured.

LOL, i just edited this for typos. I hope it was comprehensible before!

To be honest, I find holding it fine, as I believe your hands should be cupped as if they are holding something, but not clenched? Helps to actually hold something! I switch hands every 5-10 minutes I guess, but if it bothers you, there are plenty of gadgets out there, or you could get a smart watch if you are able and into your tech?
