Top places to keep your phone while running: shorts pockets, strapped to your arm, in your sports bra, a secure handheld device, in your racing vest, or around your waist with a flip belt. There are many different ways to carry items while running. Whether you choose to carry it in your hand, attached to your body, or secured to your clothing, there is a carrying method that will work for you.
Carrying your phone in your hand is not recommended because you won't have full control of it and it could get lost or damaged. If you carry your phone in your pocket, then you increase your risk of injury because you will be squeezing hard enough structures like arteries or organs.
However, if you want to carry your phone in your hand but still remain safe and sound, then there are several options available including gloves, mittens, or sleeves. These products are designed to protect your phones internal components while allowing you to carry it in your hand.
For example, if you were to strap your phone to your arm using a wristband or sleeve, this would be a safer option than carrying it in your pocket because you would still have access to it but it wouldn't be exposed to potential injuries such as cuts from glass or knives.
The following are the best phone holders for running:
Carrying Options for Your Running Gear
Consider a jogging waist belt with a phone pocket if your route isn't hot or lengthy enough to require water but you still want to take a phone on your run. This frees up your hands and expands your short selections to those without pockets. (Not all joggers wear belts, so this option is limited.)
Another option is to carry the phone in your hand while running. This is best done with small devices because the weight of the phone will pull down your arm. However, it's easy for your fingers to type on a keypad at this speed, so this method is good for selecting items from a list or making calls.
Last, some runners use an app to play music while they run. These apps usually have other features too, such as a map that guides you through local trails, or even full-featured smartphones that can make calls, send texts, and access social media while you sweat it out.
These are just some ideas. What kind of accessories do you use while running? Let us know in the comments below!
Holding your phone in your hand while jogging is convenient for taking selfies, but it's also a distraction—and your hand will cramp after a few kilometers (take our word for it!). You increase your chances of dropping and destroying it if you slip or fall. On the lining of your waistband or back pocket there are special pockets designed to hold your phone while you run. These are called "running belts."
The problem with having your phone in your hands while running is that you can't hear emergency vehicles or other people who might need help. If an accident was to happen now would be a good time for you to put down your phone and pay attention to what's going on around you.
Carrying your phone in your hand as you run creates a risk of being hit by falling objects or being involved in accidents yourself. It's better to carry your phone in a backpack or fanny pack so that it's out of reach and not visible to others.
Running with your phone held tightly in your hand is dangerous because you aren't paying attention to what's going on around you. An unexpected obstacle could cause you to lose your balance and fall, resulting in injury.
If you must have your phone with you as you run, then put it in a pouch attached to your belt so that you're still able to listen for emergencies but don't have to carry it in your hand.
