How do you staff your stuff when running?

I've recently got into running but not sure where to put stuff like car keys, phone etc. I can just about squeeze a key into my leggings but that's it.
What do runners do for a bag?

Another useful thing about having your phone is to call for help if needed, you can use it to pay for things if you need to stop to buy water and mine has bus tickets on it (an app) in case I injured myself and couldn't walk home.

I take my phone because I listen to music when I run, as do lots of people. I can fit mine (iPhone) in the back pocket of my leggings along with a key but that's about all I can get in.

I run home from work once a week and have a little bum-bag thing for that because I need to carry my work pass as well. I give my clothes/handbag to DH to bring home but we work in the same place! On a longer run I put jelly babies in the bum bag too.

I haven't found anything that carries water and is not annoying but I do need water for anything over 10 miles or so.

I take my phone to listen to podcasts, and to be able to call for help if I fall down one of the hills I regularly run on!

Why do you need your phone when you're running?

All I take is the house key. I have it on a ribbon loop, so it's easy to hold,

All my leggings and shorts have a zipped pocket big enough for phone plus keys. If I am taking anything else, like water, food, or might need to stash proves and other layers, I wear a belt. I have a little one from Karrimor at Sports Direct and a bigger one from Innov 8. Dh has a flip belt that he likes. Other options would be a running backpack or hydration vest, or a jacket. For phones you can also get armbands

Of course the title makes no sense.

STORE your stuff
