JOIN NOWHow to Carry Keys & Phone While Running
Let’s set the scene. You’ve got your trainers on. You’re hydrated and you’ve just scoffed down an energy bar or banana. You shut the front door, phone and keys in hand, and are about to embark on your running route. Your hand automatically reaches down to put your phone in your pocket and … there isn’t one! This is a classic situation for most runners.
Running clothes are not always sufficient when it comes to pockets and storage space. If, like me, you dislike carrying essential items in your hands when you run, here's a list of fantastic clothing and accessories with storage solutions. Whether it be a little thigh pocket to subtly tuck your phone away or a more substantial pack to keep everything in one place on your longer runs, welcome to pockets galore.

In cold or chilly weather you can always put your phone in the side or chest pocket of your jacket. Make sure you wear the right type: a waterproof jacket in wet, cold weather, or a lightweight windproof jacket in windy, chilly weather.
Why carry your phone while running?
Why you need to carry your keys is an obvious one, but what about the phone? Most of us are probably over-dependent on our smartphones in everyday life, and for some people running is the only chance to switch off from devices and communication. But running with a phone can be useful:
- To make a call in an emergency
- To listen to music
- To help you navigate
- To track your run
- To take a sweaty selfie for Strava when it's over!
