I wear a baselayer which has a thigh pocket for a phone. Incredibly comfortable and as it's pressed in against your leg there's no bouncing around. Something like this: startfitness.co.uk |

I came to see if anyone said "I don't run with a phone"! Only Night-owl, and I am same as them. Usually no phone taken, unless going in hills or far away, then it's in bum bag with bivvy bag / blanket, extra layers, whistle, compass etc! ![]() |

Flipbelt for me. Races, normal runs, etc, I'd never know the phone was there when it's whizzed around into the small of my back. It does depend on the right size flipbelt being bought.

I don't do much distance running but I've never run with a phone (or a water bottle come to that) I rarely took a phone on dog walks either. So Night Owl, you and me HappyG. ![]() |

I never run with a phone although I did post on here that I hated the Flipbelt.

Thigh pocket or in a pocket of a hydration vest (if a longer run). Never take it out on speed sessions although i prefer having it for safety reasons - pretty secluded and dark around here

I often don't run with a 'phone. I almost never did until adding the tracker on Garmin Connect, but there are times when it's useful for eL Bee! to be able to know where I am. The 'phone doesn't slide around in my pocket, but I have a couple of pairs of leggings that won't stay up when there's a 'phone in the thigh pocket though they're fine without. |
