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!

Yes. But, I ended up having to buy a different one, because this one keeps coming out of my ears while running. Honest truth.

That is an overstatement. I do run with mine in a pocket that is in the back of my running shorts, and it works OK. It drops out if I bend over or the battery is low, but it otherwise holds a signal. The manual does advise wearing on the front/right side of the body, and my rear-pocket appears to be right at the limit of where the blue tooth will connect. I also noted that there appears to be some additional interference from my Garmin GPS watch, so I have fewer issues when I'm on a treadmill indoors. But it is an overstatement to say that it ONLY works when using an arm band.

i go running with mine. i sweat a lot. no problems with slippage. also, i've thrown in ear plugs and used these things while operating a jackhammer. pretty nice to have something interesting (Darn Carlin's Hardcore History) to listen to while working.

Yes. I've used mine in the gym / outside every day for 8 months to date. I'm a runner logging up to 50 miles a week.

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 but not recommended. I would suggest the powerbeats wireless headphones for running.

Hello!You might be able to squeeze it in but it will be hard to pull it out while running.

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.

I LOVE mine and I haven't even completely learned all of it's features. I chose it because my running coach (who also does tri's) has it and I knew that she could help me. I believe it would be a good choice, unless the mountain areas are poor GPS locations. Other than that, I recommend it!

Yes, the volume buttons on the side aren't as easy, but I have no problems with anything else. It's a great armband for running I can have a key or a goo no problem!

No, I really wouldn't recommend this unit. Though it is small there are probably some better units out there to purchase. Have you tried a wireless device for jogging? Hope this helps

Yes, I run on mine. Not long distance but I do run. The treadmill doors need to be positioned well under the deal to run since a running form is different from walking. I also walk at 3.0 for approx 30 hrs a week.

use the foreruner model for running - I am a duathlete and I use the forerunner for both bike and running - only thing I lose is cadence - I beleive you can buy that as an accessory

Hi, the heart rate monitor works just fine for me and I've used it for maybe 7-10 runs and get VERY sweaty.
