Mobile phone holder???

Hi there! I've just completed W8R1, a major achievement for me, but have always run on a treadmill. I've been told by various people about running outside and thought I might give it a go, however I've no idea how /what to hold my mobile phone in.

Any recommendations please?

Many thanks.

I bought a belt from Aldi, it was in a runner's pack, water bottle, belt, reflectors and a couple of other things if I remember rightly, it was around £4 for the pack.

Hold my phone perfectly, haven't used the water bottle as yet though.

My phone is rather large so use a belt. Also have some nike shorts and it fits in the leg pocket of those. Laura packed up after 20 mins tho don’t think she liked being glued to my thigh.

I have a belt which has 2 pockets, one for the phone and one for house key and tissue (never without a tissue!). Think it came from Cotswold Outdoor.

Flipbelt in summer, I have a great "Thinsulate " running top from M and S with a zip pocket that holds my phone for winter, (can't wait to use it again!!!!)

I have a runners bum bag thing. Bought it in Sports Direct for £7. Clips together around my back. Will hold loads but have my key, phone, tissues and sunglasses in it. Wouldn’t be without it. Just need something to hold my water bottle in now!

I did W8 R1 this morning. Soooo chuffed! Well done you too!!
