Hey folks

Can anyone recommend a good pair of headphones for running? Don't mind spending up to £50 as long as they're comfortable, and stay put whilst running...nothing more annoying than one earphone popping out!

Cheers

@BRISTOL86 I wear a pair of Sony MDR-G45 headphones if I want music whilst running. 
They're cheap, stay put, sound decent & allow a reasonable level of ambient noise in- so you can hear cars etc. £12 from Amazon. 
Due to years of grappling my (slightly cauliflowered) ears don't like in ear phones.

I combine them with a SanDisk ClipJam which is a great wee clip on MP3 player.

Thanks @stimpsonslostson - I really haven't enjoyed 'on ear' phones in the past though, so I think I want some actual earphones.

A paltry 60 clicks this month so running total for the year is 656.6kms. A change of jobs, family illness has put paid to a bigger total. 

Took in my first 10km organised run, the Glasgow Men's 10k. Horrible day, hot and humid and hated it. The event itself was great though and it was cool being part of it but just didn't do very well. This month has been a bit crap but not giving in. Just not used to hotter weather and my training all to pot with things going on in the real world.

Just like being in a sodding band, the highs and the lows! Onwards....

Cheers

Excellent. Remember to mix in an easier week (less mileage and easier runs) every 3rd or 4th week. :-)

First long run back today. 18 miles on trail. Last few miles legs felt a bit heavy but still adjusting to the gym work.  Need a slight tweak to gym work to allow base mileage to be kept up.

7 miles along the canal. I "found" an old pair of New Balance MR00 around the house, which looked in reasonable nick so I tried them out. They feel like pillows compared to the FiveFingers, but i found out this morning why i ditched them. Despite the roomy toe box, my left big and second toes tend to rub each other. Even in toe socks I managed to rub some skin off. Doh. Shame as they are perfect for a bit of speed.

7 miles along the canal. I spooked the heron who was lurking under the M4 motorway (the canal goes under the M4 when it splits into 2 arms).
