Anybody use this for running?

YES!! And I was just running with a bunch of friends this weekend. They loved my Phubby- they said had been looking at sports stores for something like this and said they were all about $30! It fits the phone, a small wad of cash and one key. I have even put in a small lip balm in there on occasion!

I guess so. This has been great to use while I run, but it does take some getting used to.

I wondered why people use an footpod with this as well, I run in the woods (-ish) and it seems to work fine.

Yes!! I run marathons so I use this while I am training and on my long runs. Surprisingly it is comfortable even during those 15+ miles runs. The pouch is really convenient for storing your gels or other energy packs.

It works great for my running requirements. I monitor my SPM (steps per minute) to ensure I am keeping a specific pace/cadence.

I don't think it would be good for running as I find it hard to secure so it stays in place when I tried wearing it for jumping jacks. You could have better luck though.

I have used it for light running, and the velcro straps are very strong. I don't know how well it does if you are going to do long distance or sprinting.

Yes, you need your device with you on your run. I have the iPod version and love it!

No. Not for outside runs. I think you can for treadmill runs if you need that.

Its great for running but use the side straps so it doesnt bounce. It can be hard to breathe when using all 50 lbs.

I wouldn't jog with it. Its pretty flimsy for the price. Get a baby jogger or a bob. The fabric on this one doesnt hold up well and the rims are cheap plastic as well, over inflating causes rims to break (there is a recall on this)

The max speed is 4 miles per hour, which could get you to a decent jog. But its not really designed for running. It doesn't have hand rails to hang onto, or padding to cushion the stride.

I don't use it for jogging, but I think you can. Look at this: http://www.burley.com/page_135

Hello, I think this is really too heavy to run with. If you put it tight enough, it should stay, but once the velcro ages and wears down, it will not stay due to its weight.

I have not, but I think you may be disappointed with your results. My experiences continues to be that this devices is most accurate and reliable when your forearm is held in a position that keeps it parallel to the ground as when you are running or fast walking. When the forearm is held in another position its performance is highly suspect. I was sent a firmware upgrade in May of this year that helped a little but it still isn't ready for prime time in my opinion.

Did you ever find an answer to your running and podast proble,? I also have the same problem. Can't find anything small enough to run with but can still carry my podcasts.

Absolutely! Just adjust to get a good fit, and you'll be ready to go. The cord is a bit rigid, which could be a little annoying for gym use, but running would work!
