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 use it while I am running, with the included wristband. It gets a little wet from sweat, but I am careful to take it off quickly after I am done. I have been using it like this since November 2014, with no problems. YMMV

I have not actually used it to run but I have used it at the gymOn the machines and it was great. Very secure and the clip is very strong.

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

actually I used it and it is poorly built and heavy this is actually built for old aged people it may help some what in just walking but it bothers a lot while walking which is more severe than arthritis So I would no recommend it for running .

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.

Yes! Very comfortably. I actually switch hands and have run a couple 20 milers with it. It's awesome.

I use it for weight training, the elliptical (when I have to use it), running and Insanity/Asylum/T25 videos. I am a long distance runner by nature and habit. I have had no issues switching among activities with accurate heart rate, time, calories etc.

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

I love mine for running ... no movement of my gun whatsoever, I forget it's even there. In order to be concealed you can't wear skin-tight running clothes, though ... at least a baggy shirt over the top.

Not to use while running. Maybe to carry. It is bulky and may be ok on a flat surface. Too big to carry in a purse but in a beach bag ok. Seemed to be ok not really cold slightly cooler than air temp with sponge wet. Not really used it much.

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.

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

It is good when running, the way the case fits, the plastic cover flap overlaps so it doesn't get wet....;)

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!
