running vest phone holder for marathon training
Guide / 01
Rehearse the phone set-up on easy runs
Measure your phone and case against the 20 × 13cm chest pocket. Load it, close the zip and check comfort on a short easy run before using it for a longer session.
Guide / 02
Plan fuel and hydration separately
The shoulder pockets are 10 × 5cm each; no bottle or reservoir capacity is confirmed. Plan nutrition and water according to your training route and coach’s guidance.
Guide / 03
Keep a race-day checklist
Confirm the event’s rules, required kit, phone battery and route plan. A phone carrier does not replace event equipment or guarantee that a device is protected in rain.
Good to know
Questions, answered.
