How To Run With Your Phone

How do you carry your mobile phone when running? Maybe it's not something you've ever thought about, but if you're going on a longer run, you might want the extra security, just in case! With that in mind, Heather has been exploring all the options for you!

We do seem to be attached to our mobile phones in our day to day life, when you’ve got a handbag or jean back pocket it’s not a problem, but when it comes to carrying your phone on a run it poses some challenges.
As we started to cover longer distances we realised we needed to find a way to have it as back up. There are plenty of options out there, Heather thought she'd give a few a try, to help you choose what can work for you.

[@BrysonBlt]

I'm a casual / moderate runner, new to it this season (more-so in love with barbells, and having a COVID-affair with cardio). Snagged a running/racing belt and it has changed my run completely; no bouncing pockets, can stick a granola or protein bar in there for the long runs, and best of all, no key noise!

[@TR-wm3sg]

I love my FlipBelt! I've been using it for several months and it hasn't lost a bit of elasticity. It's amazing how much you can cram into it! And, like Heather said, you truly don't know it's there. One thing I do differently than what was shown in the video: when I put my phone in a front pocket of the belt, like Heather did, I then turn the belt around so the phone is over the small of my back instead. It vanishes -- I completely forget it's there. Oh, and there's a clip in one of the pockets for you to put a key on -- very secure!

[@arcticrunning8370]

Flipbelts are so good that you forget that you have your phone with you!

I run with my 4 legged mate, so I have a belt from DOOG, his running lead clips on, my keys and my phone go in the pocket. It’s snug and even has some plastic bags for 4 legged runners belly. It’s a bit expensive but so worth, the price 🐶👟👟

Thanks! I just went for my first run with a hydration vest for longer hotter trail runs out here in Colorado, and the phone worked great in the front pocket. I would have never thought to put it there and probably kept running with it in my back pocket of my short without this video.

[@cmmjmv54]

Since I have a phone case I starting using 2 wrist bands and used those to secure the phone around my arm like an armband but it is more comfortable than most armbands with phone pouches. It also fits around any phone size and case size. It is also easy to access the phone if needed and the wrist bands are not costly at all, even for name brand ones.

[@pord]

Always take it for a few reasons... 1 audiobooks and 2 incase of emergency to name some. Also use a flipbelt to carry mine.

[@fa1coner]

I've used the Fitletic Ultimate II run belt for years. Primarily because my insulin pump fits perfectly in the side pocket, but on the rare times I do actually run with my phone it fits easily in the main pouch. No bounce and barely shifts when running.

I've been running with a waistband just like yours for almost 3 years now, and it works great. I have the phone there, a credit card, keys and a couple of wet wipes, just in case. When I run on a trail I do have a vest or a water belt, so the phone goes there, but some of those have only limited space, so for that occasion I actually have a separate, much smaller phone, just for running: mine is Unihertz Atom I bought off Kickstarter. It has everything I need: Strava, Garmin Connect, Audible, Spotify, and a camera, of course, and I don't need a larger phone while running anyway.

[@CK-jd8qd]

I have a Unihertz Jelly2, but it never stays connected to Garmin Connect, no matter how I change my phone's settings. Very frustrating, so I got a different brand phone now...

[@Crymerge]

I have used the same Flipbelt for the last 3 years. No issues whatsoever. Carries my phone, keys, water, and nutrition. I recommend it.

[@summerphilhorenstein2598]

I either carry it in my hand or put it in my pocket when I’m wearing my joggers that have zipper pockets. Thanks for the extra ideas though, I might try a running backpack/vest or a running belt in the future when I go for longer runs.

[@M0ntaroo]

quad lock arm band/mount is my solution across everything. I have a quad lock case on my iPhone, it locks onto the arm band for running, and locks onto a mount that i have across all 4 of my bikes, tri bike, road bike, MTB bike and motobike, locks in and out easy as, and it protects my phone from being dropped, just like a normal cover.

[@typie2833]

I carry my phone in the pocket of my running vest. It's important to remember that phones are electronic devices, therefore using anything that traps moisture (sweat) is going to damage your phone battery in the long term. Breathable material or at the very least a vest pocket that allows the circulation of air.

[@veronikavolchek3053]

I use a special flexible belt with several pockets to wear a key, a phone etc. Very comfortable

[@lucaheinen8837]

I can recommend those 2 in 1 shorts with the brief underneath having a phone pocket. It stays tucked away at your leg and doesn't swing around.

[@frankmesen6457]

I got used to just hold it on my hand, because I wear earphones as well. It's not that comfortable, but you get used to it

[@goldylox1414]

An excellent option is the Spibelt. It’s a super minimalist waistband with a neoprene type pocket for you phone. You can tighten it right up and your phone won’t move. I sprint in it and have run a marathon in it. Can’t recommend it enough.

[@kelseyewing3683]

Senita brand makes loads of sports bras with the back pocket (between the shoulder blades) and I love the several bras like those that I have. It doesn’t rub, I don’t even hardly feel the phone back there, but they also don’t bounce around. Highly recommend.

I've tried a few times to run with my phone, usually back from the office which was 10k, I found that I ran a few minutes slower for some reason! I would like to carry it when I go for longer runs so I could possibly have a podcast or some music playing! But for now, I just listen to the countryside... Maybe one of those elastic waistbands could be an option?

[@snyfilms1869]

I recently was in an experience where I was mugged while running, lost my phone, keys, wallet, etc. So I got a new phone, and now I have a holster to carry my handgun to protect my self. Its a good holster, and doesn't affect my running much.

[@Metal.Is.A.Adicshun]

[@dilliondantin]

I've been running with a backpack for years, but I still carry my phone in my dominant hand. The bag is for my photo ID, house keys, and emergency cash. But I've got a waist band being delivered this week, and I'm very excited to try it out. I love my backpack, but it gets horrendously sweaty and I can't wear it for a whole day after my run.

[@9034833838]

I've always ran with an arm strap but since I have no muscles (Don't swim due to childhood PTSD) so it sometimes just hurts my arms due to the weight pivoting when I am doing low intensity runs. They do stretch out over time tho and a lot so I burn through about 3 in a summer season and 1 in winter. I just find running while gripping the phone hurts the arm and causes even more energy wasted and lactate buildup and I start dropping my arms a bit.

[@atlosass]

I've used a SPIbelt for several years. It's very stretchy and easily holds today's big phones plus a few gels, keys, etc. Doesn't bounce around. But after watching the video I'm interested in vests--can anyone recommend a brand/model they like?

[@RoInArN]

I have a dedicated pocket in my running shorts. It's right next to right hip, so it's not hitting my knee or loose. And obvious choice - trisuit works great for that.

[@jermainejonesjay]

whats the short?

[@rezjr789]

So I wear a vest like the one Heather is wearing in the video. But the one I have has a zipper pocket right below where the GTN logo would be. At the chest level, it keeps it secure, and very accessible. Even when I run hard, it doesn't really bounce very much.

[@satish9658]

[@hanna_x9179]

Me too, I use one from decathlon as well and I love it!

[@JustinaZenOnDVD]

So do I. It is a kind of running pants from Decathlon. It has two large horizontal pockets, at belt height, one in the back, other in the front. They are made in net fabric, with anti slipery edge. So I am able to run 30 km without being annoyed at all, and easy access to side buttons, which is my main use, for increasing/reducing music volume. Easy access too, for popping it out.

[@MishMash95]

I don't run very often, but just carry my phone in my hand. Kind of annoying, but I tend to balance the load by flipping hands, plus I can also keep an eye on my metrics as I don't have a running watch :) Find that it slaps around too much in pockets or is just uncomfortable.

I used a running belt before, but now I just leave the phone at home or in the car. I just run with my Garmin now and it works well for me. I find that I get too distracted and have the constant urge to check my phone if I have it on me.

what's the brand of the rucksack?

[@cecyig7537]

I've tried a flip belt but it keeps moving up and down and it's really annoying. Do you have any good brand recommendations? thanks ;)

I find that it works well for me, could you find a size smaller maybe?

I use shorts with zip pockets, cheap sports direct ones and don't notice my phone too much. Why the big companies don't do shorts with zips but all their tracksuits do I have no idea when you're more likely to run in shorts.
