Phone holder for running

I have just started the C25K and found that the phone holder I gave is rubbish. Can anyone recommend one please? Ideally I'd like to be able access and use the controls whilst running.

A cheap belt from decathlon holds my phone and my inhaler. I find my phone in pocket pulls down my leggings a bit. Have also used arm bands but find I prefer the belt.

Something like this:

The podcast should cut in on theC25k App when they talk to you and your music etc cuts back in when they stop. I’ve used the nhs one a few times quite easily hands free. I just buy leggings with a pocket or use my jacket pocket

I use a Flipbelt.

just carry it in your hand lots of leggings now how big pockets, all the other arm holders/waist band etc are just faff to be honest

I agree that leggings with a phone pocket are the best option.

I only take my phone on long runs and use a sleeve from decathlon on my arm.
I find legging go south fast if I put the phone in the pocket...

smart watch & bluetooth headphones for shorter runs.

I need something because I'm juggling the C25K app with whatever podcast I'm listening to

I’ve had arm straps, waist belts and now I just buy leggings with big pockets!

I avoid taking it out once I’ve started though, but I use AirPods where you can just ask Siri to turn the music up or down.
