I’m starting week 6 tomorrow and feel the need to wear something rather more suitable than jeans! But I would like zip up pockets for phone and keys. Anyone got any suggestions please?

I have a lovely soft belt with two zip pockets for my phone and house keys. I bought it originally to carry cash under my clothes when travelling, but it is perfect for running . I believe e you can buy belts intended for running which would do the same job. Then you can wear comfortable leggings without pockets.

If you have a decathlon near you, they do running trousers at £13 and also trail running shorts at £15. The trousers have 3 pockets, the back one is big enough for a phone and zips up, the other two are regular pockets but zip up on the female version. The shorts have lots of pockets and a built in belt type storage. They also do running tights... but apart from owning a pair I don’t have any experience of them.

Thank you. I’m not sure the world is ready for the vision of a 60 year old 5 stone too heavy woman in running tights 🤣🤣🤣! The trousers sound a better option.

They come in a 3 types... Run Dry ones are best for the warm weather... the names can be confusing, they’re not waterproof, but keep you dry by wicking the sweat away... I’ve done a couple of 5k runs in the heat this week and they remained very comfortable.

I don't like running with things in my pockets. I wear leggings and use a runners' flip belt. You hardly know it's there.

Thank you. I’ll google!
