Running belts advice

[Somerlass]

After a bit of advice on what you all use to carry your phone, keys etc when you run as I’m starting to struggle. I don’t really want one if the armband type. Was looking at the flip belt but they seem expensive, but are they worth it? I do like the slim design. Or a cheaper alternative?

I hate running belts! I have shorts and leggings with pockets for my stuff. I like tikiboo. On longer runs I have a hydration vest.

I bought a cheaper belt on amazon and it’s fine. Only cost about £10. I’m still wearing a jacket as it’s cold but I hope it’ll get warmer and want to be organised. The belt holds my phone, in its case, and I just leave a small gap at the zip for the headphone cable. It would also take a credit card and a key.

I have a Sports Direct belt that I have used for the last seven years and it can hold a small phone, keys etc in a couple of zip pockets.

Cheap, cheerful and perfectly adequate.

I bought a cheaper belt online, which was excellent to begin with but over time it did stretch a bit and wasn’t very good when I started running further and need to carry small water bottles. So I’ve now got a flip belt which is a better fabric and bears the weight of the flip belt bottles better. Basically you get what you pay for, but do Shop around for discounts.

I bought an inexpensive freetoo belt online. It’s very comfortable, takes phone, keys, tissues & has an adjustable wide elastic belt. 😄

I have a flip belt and it is so comfortable and doesn't move about while running. It is a continuous loop with plenty of openings big enough for a phone etc. By flipping the belt over it secures all of the items. No more pulling down of leggings due to the weight of my phone/key.

I have a build and fitness from amazon (like a flip belt), works well for me but I don’t carry water

I got this one and I’m pleased with it! Fits my phone (a rather giant iPhone 7 Plus), plus inhaler, keys and tissues. Has earphone holes too, if like me, you still haven’t got wireless ones 😅 smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/...

I’m a big fan of FlipBelt. Not the cheapest thing available, but by far the most comfortable for keys, phone (iPhone 11 Pro), tissues and jelly babies for longer runs.

Thanks everyone. Going to have a search of Amazon, see what’s available.
