I use a standard light weight slip chain and leash that I can clip around my waist. Hobbes is pretty well trained in that when we get going, the sniffing, pooping, and peeing on everything in sight waits until we slow down to walk pace...and even then, he's panting too much to sniff and thus usually not able to smell something to poop or pee on. He does most of his pooping and peeing in an appropriate place before the run...but you still might want to watch where you're stepping in my neightborhood

That tug-no-more thing looks funny. I don't think I would be comfortable running with something around my butt like that! I have a 17lb boston terrier that pulls like she's in the Iditarod and when I take her jogging I try to just use her regular collar. She can only pull so much until she coughs a bit and then she gets the hint. I have heard no-pull harnesses don't really train them not to pull, but just keeps them from pulling while they have them on...so I have been reluctant to use one.
