Not sure how much you want to carry but how about a running-specific bumbag? I bought this rather nifty one specifically for a recent fell race and was pretty impressed. Very comfy and the compression straps really keep it from bouncing around.
Often use cycling tops - the pockets are great for small items (gels / energy bars), and I often carry a carpri-sun drink as well, but anything heavy like drinks bottles I find bounce about too much.
Yes I do that, but then I am not running any great distances. I use them for keys/phone/money/music player/extra hairbands (I have mad hair that escapes all the time whilst running). I think if I were to use it for longer distances the keys/phone etc would cause a bit of bruising at the base of my spine as I haven't found a way to stop them bouncing but at least you aren't weighed down with many arm/ankle/shoe wallets and I find belts/bumbags impossible to run with. Wrapping hard items in a cloth helps. I don't use the pockets for my water - I have a hand held water bottle that is very convenient.

I often cycle in a running top.

Thanks Phil, looks a good site, cheers
Hi Whippets.
Yes I do, great for small items e.g. food, map section, compass etc if I don't want to use a bum bag.
