can this mp3 player be used for dry land workouts, specifically: running?

Yep, just use the regular earbuds provided or your own pair of regular headphones.

Yeah I wouldn't see why not. I've used mine at the gym running on the tread mill. I've also used it in the shower, steam room, sauna, and swimming in a pool with no problems at all.

Yes, anything you can do with a regular iPod you can do with these waterproof iPods. Lots of our customers love using these for running because of how small and easy they are to take with you!-Underwater Audio Customer Service

Did it workout for you.Also, if I use this producy, will I have 2GB on top of the 2GB already in the player? Or is this for one set of songs and the one in the player another set?

I have not tried it for running. I use it for kick boxing. Its good for that. My concern is that it might make the skin on your leg raw for running

You will get near 15 hrs only if you use medium quality MP3 files (128k) and low volume. Crank either one up and run time will drop. Same thing happens when you are playing from the SD slot. Do all 3 at once and look out.

I didn't think so. It was okay at first, it definitely works as a music player, but the limited functionality led me to ultimately buy another player and give this one away. I had a hard time shuffling music (I don't think you can) and finding certain artists. The UI isn't very intuitive.

You can play audio files from the SD card but the player will not remember where you were and will not let you create playlists. Not good.

SLMHP, I use mine for very active zumba, Yoga, aerobics and never have a problem. Since it is fully adjustable for tightness and support, I say that Yes you could use this to support when running. Probably may have to adjust the tightness once or twice during the run depending on distance.

You can hook up an mp3 player, but you would have to leave it outside..probably should work the same with an iphone, but you probably wouldn't want to leave it outside.

I don't think so because the device requires a disk. It will play mp3 files but you can't download directly to the player.

I have only used for running and hiking. However, my understanding is that it would give you speed but not pace. there would be a settings change needed for this. Similar to the cycling mode.

not sure - but I will tell you I was very disappointed with this device and used it only a short time before I had to buy a different MP3 player...

I used it for running, so it's light weight was critical. It's not very loud though, so if you can handle a bit more weight, a metronome on a smart phone might work better. Most of those metronomes can make different sounds as well whereas this makes only 1 sound. That said, this device worked for my purpose!

This MP3 player will def withstand a long workout as long as it remains in water under suggested depth

No, you cannot make playlists on the go, only while connected to the PC. Honestly, you should look at other MP3 players, this one is a real disappointment.

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

I do inside runners on treadmill using my 920XT without foot pod and works quite good (I don't know what black magic garmin did to make it works). Maybe something with new HR3 and my previous run behaviour/style on GPS recorded tracks.

I do not think so, I bought it to listen to low bit-rate OTR mp3's and podcasts with. I could not get it to play those. I could only use it to play music MP3's that I ripped from cd at 128k to 320k. This also does not have an sd card slot either, but there is a different model that has that slot and it looks identical to this one. The one WITH the slot will play audiobooks, because I used to have one. Hope this helps.
