Did you know that you can get water bottles for your flip belt?
Well, now I do!! Thanks! I just looked them up and realize I'd seen someone with one and didn't know why they had that weird shape bottle. Thumbs up!0 -
ipod touch. I love running to music.0

Another accessory which hasn't been mentioned: elastic laces! I bought some of those weird Xtenex laces for two pairs of shoes a while ago. Getting them adjusted in the first place was annoying, but now that I have the "right setting", I don't have to fiddle with the shoe laces ever again. If they were cheaper, I'd put them on all my running shoes - but I have too many running shoes

@_nikkiwolf_ Those laces are interesting0

These were great. My must have now is my Garmin Vivoactive HR. I've only had it for a couple of months, but I love it and can't run without it.3

Having not been able to run in the last week has made me realize that my favorite running accessory is the company I have from all my MFP friends. Lame. Sure. I have conversations with many of you on my run. And it's great company.7

The FlipBelt water bottle did not work for me either. I had a lot of difficulty getting it to stay in the slots, and then when it finally did, it left me with horrible chafing. The chafing may just be due to my bottom endowment though!1 -
My SPIbelt and my Bluetooth headphones. I didn't realize what I was missing until I had them.2

My Garmin Fenix3, love it!! Also just got bluetooth headphones after a funny encounter during a race with my wired headphones at the finish line.3

I have a Garmin Vivoactive HR, great piece of kit if a bit chunky. It's certainly allowed me to find out how far I'm actually walking since I'm always doing it at any given opportunity!1

I'm going to go with just my phone. I use it to run my gps, fitbit, music, run apps (zombie run and charity miles), and now I will even pull up pokemon go if I'm in a known good location (I won't leave it on because of battery drain). It is weird but I usually have 4-5 programs going on my phone before I take off.
Although now I'm going to have to look into Bluetooth headphones since they seem to be popular.4 -
My dog! Does she count? If not, then my second favorite is my Garmin Fenix 3. Love, love, love it for running and hiking. Before I got it, I would have said my phone, as I like both the Run Meter and Zombies, Run apps.3

LOL, me too! Now I even got the stupid Pokemon Go app going to hatch eggs... I worry whether I'll finish a run with any battery left.1 -

And I jog with my dog so I love his jogging collar/bungee leash/belt that wraps around my waist so there is no tugging on my arm while we jog. Has light reflectors too.

I can't pick one.
In no particular order - although I do think I wouldnt be able to live without it so maybe it is #1 - my Garmin.
It's a toss up between my running socks - Balenga, Swiftwick and Feetures (they've been my #1 go to lately but they were a Mother's Day gift too so they have the attachment thing going for them) and my running visor. I sweat so much and glasses get fogged up/wet. The visor keeps the sweat somewhat at bay, keeps the sun out of my eyes but not as warm as a full hat.3 -
These Sherpa gloves/mittens have been my constant companion this winter (I'm in southern Australia).
I've worn them every day. I can use my phone easily while running by just flipping the ends back.
I also put little hand warmer bags in the mitten bits when on walks, when I don't get as warm as when I run.
Best $20 I ever spent.

My Garmin watch would have to be #1, but closely behind are my hydration belt and my Bluetooth headphones. ❤❤❤1

I love my Buddy System leash which lets me take both my dogs with me and leaves my hands free. I also dig my Fitbit Blaze. I don't really have any other accessories, but I am eye-balling those Flipbelts; I think I could use one.1
-
My favorite accessories are my BeSportWise running belt and my Nike visor. The belt holds my phone and keys (and my ID if I remember to bring it), and the visor keeps the sweaty hair out of my eyes. I am considering wearing the visor on the treadmill because the sweaty hair thing is getting annoying. (I have short hair and can't pull it back.)0
