There are a number of them.

It is also a great day to check out some good accessories to go along for the ride run. Here are two examples…

If you are using an iPod Nano during your run instead of an iPhone or touch (the C25K apps require OS iPhone) take a look at the iSkin DuoBand for iPod nano 5G

The DuoBand is a “Premium silicone protector + adjustable armband with Microban® protection”.
The adjustable armband strap “sports a breathable soft-silicone inner band for anti-slip support” while the nano silicone protector guards against scratches, moisture and bumps. Even in the DuoBand the clickwheel is accessible and, best of all, an integrated click wheel protector keeps it safe and dry. The Microban® antimicrobial protection inhibits the growth of odor and stain causing bacteria.

The iSkin: DuoBand for iPod nano 5G is available at: iSkin.com, Apple retail stores and other participating authorized iSkin retailers worldwide for an MSRP of $39.99. For more information visit iSkin’s Web site.

And regardless of the device you are listening to you might want to check out the Wicked Audio Metallics headphones.
