A couple of things to keep in mind:
Units with 40 sec memories don't necessarily have better skip protection than units
with 10 sec memories. The larger buffer size just helps with power consumption, i.e.
the head doesn't have to power up and read as often with a 40 sec buffer.
In my experiences with running, I've used a Case Logic MD-1 belt pack. The key is to
orient the unit in the pack so that the direction of shock (vertical for running) is
parallel
to the direction the head is reading from (tangential to the minidisc). Otherwise,
the direction of shock is
across tracks (radial to the disk), and skipping is MUCH worse.
With a belt pack and proper orientation, I can run/jog 4-5 miles and only have a
couple of skips towards
the end (when my legs are getting tired).
Also, the Sony 268 earbuds are great for running.
