I did a 1.2 mile run this morning which I know isn't far but I'm building up, I enjoyed it. I was doing it 'one armed' though because one hand was permanently holding my leggings up and stopping my phone from bobbing out of my pocket 😆. I probably looked ridiculous.
What do I wear on my bottom half? How do I secure my phone? (for music)
Other tips gratefully received.

A bum bag! I have a bum bag. I bet I've got a caghoul (sp?) with zippy pockets somewhere too.

Get a well fitting pair of running / Capri trousers and a bum bag or arm-band for your phone. And good trainers and sports bra!

Oh and re phone. I have a stretchy Nike top to wear over my running shirt. It has zip up pockets. My friend has a lanyard with plastic grips for her phone but it bobs around and id be worried it would fall out.

I have some shiny disco pants with a high waist that dont fall off, they just look like leggings with sheen. I'll try them.

I tuck my phone into my bra. Not ideal; I will probably buy an arm band for my phone one of these days.

I had exactly the same problem.
I went to JL and bought a pair of yoga pants which are stretchy cotton and have a high wide waistband. Problem solved and they're so cosy to pull on at 7am!
