If your looking budget range I have this and it's great job. Has radio (But need to use wired headphones) or if using music on an SD card you can use wireless. Hardly know it's there.

Went for a run earlier around the pitches with the dogs!

Been averaging 18,000 steps a day since I've stopped working, few runs here and there but did sprints between the 21's for 5km, the pitches at the uni are less that half a mile away so plenty space and very small numbers about.

Be difficult enough in the city to get local runs going

What's your height and weight? What minute miles are you doing?

I just run the roads in the city and there's generally not too many about. I would go more into the country at the weekend as there would be a few more. If you're walking or running most people cross the road when they see anyone these days so not like you ever get particularly close to anyone.

I've a close to 7 mile loop from the house I do the odd lunchtime then a longer one at the weekend. I think being indoors almost 24/7 isn't helping the fitness!

5-6' and 11.3 stone! I'm only little though at 48 I'm reasonably fit! Not enough stretching as I'm feeling pain in the groin area!

When I'm walking the dogs it varies as the blighters can sniff for Ireland but generally 15km walking a day it's a 3 hour or less walk, depending on which loop I do!

I haven't been in the car for over a week! So strange not driving the local spar is close enough, and like I say, the beach is a mile a way with a tow path and the uni is half a mile with plenty pitches! We've a small Wood beside me also. Very lucky! Be stir crazy if I lived near my mum/dad!

On a similar note I am looking for a decent set of wireless headphones for running. I have bought a couple of cheap pairs that have worked well for a while but then just gave up for no reason so looking to get a pair that,s a bit more long lasting if anyone can recommend.  I usually just pair with the Iphone so just needs to be bluetooth
