As a runner, taking your phone or keys with you can almost seem like an essential thing to ensure you have, as some running gear may not have pockets or pockets big enough.Well, Lululemon might have fixed that issue for many as it cuts out the need to take a massive bag to the gym. The Lululemon Fast and Free Running Belt is £35 and has been praised for its space and convenience.
It’s lightweight, breathable, and fits all your essentials so you can go the distance. The adjustable low-bounce waistband has a buckle closure to customize your fit.There’s even a zippered stretchy pocket that keeps your phone close and side drop-in pockets to stash your keys, cards, and gels. And if you like to run in the dark, there are even reflective details so people can spot you in lower light. And at a price of £35, it can be super useful and be even useful for festivals or walks so you can easily access your phone, earbuds or more.
There are some alternatives to consider. Decathlon is selling a larger shoulder bag for £34.99 with a water bottle holder. Or Adidas is selling a slightly cheaper one for £22.99 here.
Reviewers have also been fawning over the belt. One reviewer said: “Great Product. Make sure to check measurements as ordered the XS/S and it was tiny without much stretch but the S/M is perfect. Definitely recommend, great for running.
“I’ve used other brands of running belts, but this is by far the best quality.” Another reviewer said: “Great purchase. I bought it as a gift for a friend as love it so much. Super comfortable. Adjustable. Fits phone, keys, earphones and gels.”
However, not everyone was super happy with it due to the fit. One shopper said: “Close-fitting, well-made and unlikely to move during a run, but I returned this item before testing as it sits very high up.
“It’s definitely a natural waist belt rather than a belt you can opt to wear lower around your hips. This meant that my phone dug into my back on my UK size 8 frame. I wasn’t comfortable switching the belt around to carry the phone across my front either. Not for me, particularly for the price.”
