As someone who runs on both the trails and the roads of New York City, you’ll never catch me dead without a place to carry my phone, sanitizer, earbuds case, and keys. However, the cute, floppy running shorts i like to wear, simply do not have the storage for such shenanigans. Enter my bff, the running belt. It’s small, unobtrusive, and slim, and carries all that and usually more. Think gels, salt tabs, eye of newt to curse my enemies (or maybe just dog poop bags—either way). It’s a simple and convenient way for runners to have what they need on hand without having to hold it in hand, and many of them also feature places to store a water flask or trekking poles making them useful no matter where you run.
