Is this product okay for long distance running?

I would think so, it's light and should fit snugly enough to not bounce around.

It depends on your complexion but if you will be mostly running I suggest the wide or at least the running pads available at http://www.weightvest.com/running-pad-1520 . Now, this product is amazing but requires commitment. I suggest you try running with a rucksack first and see how that goes.

Just my personal opinion here, but no I don't think it would be good for that. I would spend the money on a high(er) end unit made for super long distance.

Not sure if this product would work for you based on your discription on what you need. I would consult a specialist first. I just needed mine for support while jogging.

I only run a couple miles a few times a week. It works fine for what I need it to do. So far no sweat has leaked through.

Distance running possibly. Sprints no. The elastic is strong and is adjustable. Don't drop it though because the arms that hold the light onto the band are fairly brittle and will snap easily. The unit is light enough so for a cheapo light it will probably work.

I use these for running 3-5 miles everyday. I sweat more than the average and have had no issues. The earbuds stay in place all throughout the run. The only thing I would warn you about is if you are running on the roads. You will not be able to hear anything around you besides whatever is playing through the earbuds. Bottom line I definitely recommend this purchase!

It has worked pretty well for me, I have run with it at least 10 times and broken a sweat which did not affect it

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

I will say yes. I recommend getting it to fit like a under Armour shirt. Which they are designed to fit that way. I think it would work fine. As long as you have a shirt over it. This will help hold it in place better when running.

It is best used for walking but I did jog just to see what it can do. The machine was just fine. As far as a full blown run I have no idea. I am not the running kind of gal. ; )

I'd definitely say it could be worn for running. It does not restrict movement and is light weight.

I've used the first generation Nike SDM unit(which is an accelerometer) with much success over streets, trails, and races. Over a marathon it was within 10 feet over the entire distance. So I plan to check this out, first without purchasing the shoes and just strapping the accelerometer to my shoe. Once calibrated, I expect it to behave the same as my SDM. Once you have a nano it is a pretty inexpensive running tool. I picked up a 1gb nano brand new on craigslist (sf) for $100. I will purchase one tomorrow and try it out over the weekend.

I don't run long distance, but I do run. My issues are plantar fasciitis and a neuroma, and these are very helpful. I can't run without them.

yes absolutely.....It's strong enough to be over a room or two...ps - I wear it on my waist when I run. No issues! It's pretty much awesome!!!!

I only use it for walking, and it works fine for that. Not sure about running. Sorry.

No, it is not. If you plan to use it for running, then you are most certainly going to want it; however, if you intend to use it for cross training then it is not needed.
