just that really... i want to start running again but need to carry phone, keys and asthma inhaler. want to be able to do floor exercises / stretching on my tummy and back without having to unload the pockets on the back of my leggings & tops and these don't fit the inhaler anyway. ended up just carrying it the other day but it wasn't great.


ideas / tips gratefully received...

Hi Convex. Over the years I've tried various different belts and carriers but have never liked them as I find they tend to bob up and down and basically do my head in all through my run. I've settled on doing the following:

Keys - take off the ones I need and either thread through my shoe lace (if it is just the yale one) or use the key ring bit to attach them to the shoulder strap of my sports bra. I then tuck the keys under the shoulder strap to stop them jangling about.

Phone - stuff it down the side of my sports bra. Usually stays put although it can move around a bit but I just shove it back into place.

I also put a pound coin in the pocket of my running bottoms just incase.

Been doing this for many years now and it has served me well :-)


I don't have an inhaler but if I did I'd probably stuff that down my bra too. I know lots of people like the arm strap holders- have a look at this page to get an idea: http://www.ronhill.com/accessories/packs-and-carriers

You may well find something in Sports Direct on their running accessory stand or in Decathlon. And of course lots of people get on very well with the belt packs and holders - I am just miserable and intolerant!

Arm strap holder for phone and key. inhaler in back pocket/waistband/bra or take a couple puffs before i go and leave it behind (my asthma is very predictable though). Like Liz I haven't found a belt that worked for me.

i also use my bra as a pocket for stuff while out running but I found my phone didn't like being sweaty so now I pop it in a zip top baggie before stuffing it in my bra. Depending on your phone your mileage may vary :)

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
