If you just want to just leave a playlist/Runkeeper running and not play too much with the buttons, I actually use one of the small stretchy sacs you clip round your waist to carry gel packs (cost me about £2), Stretches enough to hold phone in place, keeps it dry and works for me!

I use the JVC Jelly ones which have always worked great for me. About a £5 in Asda in a variety of colours

Sadly I am gubbed for this month! Labyrinthitis means it's hard enough to stop room spinning never mind run. ho hum! next month......!!

Had hoped to do more this week but at least I'm out there. to check in: Wk 1 - 9.75 Wk2 - 8.75 Wk 3 - 10.25 Need to get going some to squeeze in those last miles!

I only managed 3 yesterday but it's a start after illness and plan to make up for it the rest of the month!

Am I too late to get in? Not done one of these before but could do with the motivation! Think with work and family I should start at 50 and aim to top that!

I think the problem could be not just strectching hip flexors but underactive glutes too from sitting about. I started running again and came a cropper with my hip - lots of work with a physio, stretching, foam rollers and tennis balls later this eased off the pain but the most important thing she told me was to work on my…

This is my first response to anyone but i wanted to say to get on out there. My mum has never understood why I run (and blames it for any illness i might have including toothache when I may have taken in too much air!! :happy: ), but I just love it and it gives me a real sense of pride in what I can achieve. I've run 10k…
