    I put it in my bra too! I have to wear 2 bras when I'm running so usually I stick my key in between the two. Has never fallen out!

    This is what I do! Put my phone down there, too. I end up looking like Quasimodo's sister but hey, those babies don't move!

    I have one of these

    http://www.sweatshop.co.uk/accessories/bags-belts-and-wallets/ifitness-mini-lycra-belt-29238.html

    I like to take my phone out with me. It fits snugly in there- it's quite a small pouch, which stretches.

    I then put a house key in my back zip pocket in my running trousers.

    p.s. FANNY PACK makes me chuckle. A lot. In the UK a fanny is ermmm ladies private parts.... ;)

    Just saying.!!!

    We have a Keysafe outside the front door so I don't need to carry keys with me.

    I have a spibelt (http://www.spibelt.com/) that I love! It's a teeny tiny fanny pack that stretches to the shape of your objects and is almost invisible under clothes... I pack my phone, car key and ID in there and it works fabulously. I was really skeptical about it actually staying put while running when I first bought it, but it doesn't move an inch.

    ^ This! Someone asked a similar question about a month ago and I got one of these when it was suggested. They are available online but I was happy to find mine at a sporting goods store for the same price. I love it! And I agree, its perfect and it does stay in place. I wear mine under my shirt and its not visible.

    Running shoe wallet, put it on your shoes and away you go.

    The Nathan 5k belt is pretty comefortable too, I love it: it is big enough to put your phone and keys in and I can put my dogs retractable leash on it and carry poop bags; I hate holding things in my hands when I run so this changed my life! I think it costs like 20$

    at the risk of stating the obvious..why not put the keys you NEED ( removed from key chains/fobs etc) into your pocket?

    Hold them in my hand with the keys sticking out between my fingers like a knuckle duster - just in case!!

    Another vote for Spibelt. I put my phone in it, and have a spare key on a carabiner that I clip to the belt.

    It's hard enough to find a pair of women's exercise bottoms that have a pocket, let alone a useful pocket that is big enough to put more than a quarter in or has some kind of closure. It's a big peeve of mine. I tried wearing men's shorts, because they have wonderful, deep pockets, but they're not cut for a shape like mine. :laugh:

    There are running clothes with zippered/secure key pockets in them; there are also key pockets that attach to your shoes, ones you wear on your wrist, and others that clip to your clothes.

    ^^ This. Zippered clothes work wonders.

    It's funny that the guys are wondering why we are even talking about it :laugh: Most women's workout clothes don't have a pocket. Even if they did I wouldn't put them in it because I would have a lump there. LOL

    I tie mine onto my shoelaces. They come untied pretty easy with keys on there but it gives me an excuse to stop and rest to re-tie :bigsmile:

    This is the little pouch that's called a pocket in women's shorts. :grumble:

    I wouldn't put anything I wouldn't want to lose in there.

    One of the reasons I only wear Nike thights. They have a pocket with a zipper and laces in the waistband so the pants don't come down when you are running.

    you can't trust women with pockets don't you know- they might put bags of rocks or night vision goggles or something equally ridiculous in there. That's why NONE of our clothes have pockets. only NO pockets- or just FAKE pockets (seriously WTF is up with that)

    yet another reason I don't run LMAO

    I also run with this.

    It's great. It stretches to hold all kinds of things and doesn't bound. Lots of fun colors.
    Thanks for the link. I just ordered one!

    I have some Champion bottoms with a zippered pocket where I put my key and/or wedding ring (for lifting weights). Try these: http://www.target.com/p/c9-by-champion-women-s-reversible-premium-capri-tight-assorted-color/-/A-13711180#prodSlot=medium_1_27&term=women's c9 champion pants

    Sorry, I've tried hyperlinking on this site and can't figure it out...

    My workout pants have a drawstring waist. I tie my car key to it and slip it inside the waist band. I've never dropped it.

    I either put it in my arm band behind my phone or in my bra, along the side, sort of under my arm - that part doesn't move around a whole lot. I was in WalMart the other day and saw they have these wrist bands that you can use to put a little cash, an id and/or key in. But if you're carrying your phone anyway, I'd look into getting an arm band that's compatible with it. It's a lot safer (for your phone) to carry it that way - no accidental dropping.

    Love my SPI Belt. It's like 20 bucks on Amazon and doesn't move an inch when I wear it.

    II take the one key from my car off the chain, untie my shoes, loop it through, tuck it down, then tie my shoes. Problem solved. I don't notice it there at all, but I have big feet. I absolutely hate to run with anything on my body or carry any thing.

    I wear an armband for my phone, and stick my keys in my sports bra. There's absolutely no concern of it falling out!

    On occasion though I have also double-knotted a key to my shoe-laces.

    Since I'm an old lady I just bought an "old" fanny pack. Even found one in my favorite color, purple. It carries my phone, car keys, phone, pedometer and dog treats. I'm a walker so can carry a little more. You are a runner so may want to go runner hi-tech Hope you find something you like

    I just bought a cheapy arm band for to listen to my phone on jogs, it has a place to put my key. It was so worth it, Although I sweat through the arm band and get my phone sweaty a lot! LOL

    I used to put my key through my shoe lace and then lace it back through top hole and tie, Voila!

    If you have one of those 5 Below stores near you, they have a running belt there for $5. It's not stretchy like a SPIbelt, but less bulky than an '80s style fannypack.

    It's not that much different than what we call it in the US. A fanny is your bum :tongue:

    I have a waist pouch that holds a water bottle and it has a side pouch with a velcro closing flap that holds my phone, keys, money, cards etc....

    Depending on how many keys you have you could tie them on your tennis shoe in your shoelace. Just a thought :-)
    Genius! I heard of this before and forgot all about it.
    I have done that too, when my shorts or pants didn't have a pocket. Simply run the lace through the hole, and tuck the metal part underneath the laces on top of your foot. Most annoying part is getting the key off and on the ring. I put my phone in a SPIbelt so I don't have to hold anything.

    I bought a couple wrist bands at the local TJ Maxx, they have a zipper pocket in them for keys, money, etc. I had an extra house key made and keep it in it. Works perfect!
