How do you carry your keys, ID, phone, etc when you run? I hate just carrying it in my pockets because I'm scared of losing them! What do you use?

I have an arm band for my phone, it has a little pocket in the back for a spare key and my id and atm card0

My running gear all have special zipped or Velcro pockets for things like that.0

When I bring the phone I use an armband. This also allows me to bring ID and a key. You could also get a belt which does the same thing.0

You can get a sort of fanny pack (don't worry, these ones aren't dorky!) to put that stuff in. They're made for runners so they're very sleek. I thought I'd be annoyed with it bouncing while I ran but it hasn't bothered me at all. I got mine at Target.0

I only carry my phone and keys and I just hold one in each hand.... lol. If it's in something snug to my body, I don't want it gettin sweaty and if it's on an outer layer, it drives me nuts bouncing - lol. I never take a debit card or anything so that I can't buy anything - lol - you know like a BIG MAC! HAHA0 -
Normally I run indoors on a treadmill, so there's a compartment for things. If I'm outdoors, I hold my iPhone (mostly so I can switch songs on my workout playlist) and since my running clothes lack pockets, I have taken my car key off, locked the rest of my keys in the car, and then put my car key in my sports bra. Werid, I know, but effective.0

I wear an armband or sometimes I'll carry a wristlet that's just big enough for my phone, a key, ID and $5. I have an Ipod shuffle that I clip onto my shirt so I don't have to worry about a wire coming from my phone.0

I have a Joggers Belt. It holds my phone, keys, and water bottle. And when I jog in the winter, I have an Under Armour Jogging jackets that has pouches built into the jacket.0

After a couple of months of my grad advisor calling me during my runs I stopped carrying my phone. I tie my key to the tie on my shorts or put it in the little key pocket that some of my shorts have. If I am carrying water...my fuel belt has a little pocket that I can shove it in.0

1) Sneaky pockets - in various running pants/tops
2) pocket clip ons for my shoe.
3) This is probably bad, but I don't take my phone when I run.0 -

Same here. Clips on a single small bottle of water, zip up the key AND phone.0 -
In the winter I use pockets in my running gear. In the summer, I have a Spi Belt.0

I really only carry my phone and my keys. I have an armband for my phone (play my music from the phone as well) and then I just carry my keys.0

On the rare occasion I take my phone with me, I just hold it in my hand. On the equally rare occasion I have my car key with me, I put it in a zippered pocket. I don't carry anything else.
Next time you are buying running clothes, look for something with a zippered pocket.0 -
I use a shoe pouch. It's a small pocket/pouch that velcros over your shoe laces. You don't feel it during your run. The pouch is large enough to hold keys, a credit card or ID, and some cash. They sell them at a number of sporting goods stores. RoadID sells them online and includes your emergency contact info and any other necessary info (medical history, allergies, etc) on the pouch. I use an armband for my iPod.0

I use a fanny pack. My DD cringes when I tell her that...."Oh mom, DONT!"...LOL! But I don't care if people think it looks silly or not. It holds everything I might need. I am out there to exercise, not to be a fashion statement.0
-
I actually untie my shoe and tie my key into my shoe laces so it is right on top of my foot. No way to lose it. My phone I carry typically because I use it for music and time.0

Most of my running gear have small special and rather secure pockets for those things. I usually keep things like keys or atm/idcard in the back of my sportsbra though0
