Whomst among us mere mortals has never used “Ugh, but I don’t have anywhere to put my phone” as a legit reason to not go running? The hard truth is that phones are frickin’ giant now and the idea of gripping your hand around one through a 20-minute jog sounds more exhausting than said jog. And no, leaving it at home is absolutely not an option because what if you spot a cute dog on your walk and need to snap a pic??
Not knowing how to run with your phone is honestly a tragic scenario. But, guys, don’t get stressed out in the name of exercising hands-free. Let me ~transform~ your life and show you exactly where to carry your phone while running. Or, rather, give you a couple of options that can carry it for you.
Never want to sacrifice any potential puppy ‘grams ever again? Below, peep this list of the best phone holders for running—or walking, cycling, carrying both your bagel and iced coffee on a Sunday morning. Think of the possibilities!
