I'm doing couch to 5k so I like to take my phone with me because the app talks you through what to do, when to run when to walk etc. I bought a phone armband thing from karrimore but its so bulky it drives me crazy when I'm running and it's not easy to get your phone in and out when you want to change music etc. People who run out there — what do you do???

I have a thing that straps it to my hand - got it from Decathlon.

I wear cycling tops with pockets in.

Bumbag.
I couldn't get on with those armband things.

Flipbelt 🙂

In my bra!

Flipbelt - love mine!

Or Tikiboo running leggings...high waisted ones come with a roomy pocket at the back which fits my phone comfortably.

Arm band thing.
I found the Flip belt really annoying.

Second the flip belt! Fab and means you can carry keys, tissues as well as phone.

Bra. Over to the left under my arm. And tissue and earphone case between the boobs. I feel there should be a more sophisticated solution but this is by far the neatest I've found.

I just carry it in my hand.

LoveAGoodToddlerTantrum · 11/08/2019 22:02

I got a plastic bag thing to put it in and pop it in my bra... I'm not sure it's the best thing to do but I found all the phone holder gadgets and gizmos really annoying. I've run 2 marathons with my phone in my bra and not so much as a graze.

Type running belt into amazon and you'll get loads of options - they're a godsend. I used to carry mine!

Flipbelt

Tbh i mainly stick it in my bra. I did buy some leggings that are designed with a gap in the waistband that you can stretch your phone into - perfect, except the leggings are too see through on me!
