No need to bring your phone along to track your run - you don't even need to fiddle with buttons on the touchscreen interface, because soon after you start jogging the Fitbit running app kicks in, and automatically tracks your run pace, distance and records it all on a map, so you can pour over all the geeky stats later and monitor for improvements on each subsequent run.
