I’m looking for a recommendation for a running torch? Does anyone use them then and do you prefer a head or a chest version? I’m new to running this year having completed c25k just as the first lockdown started. I’ve continued running 3 times a week since then and have just started on building up to 10k using the coach on my Garmin. I prefer running in the mornings and would like to get out a bit earlier hence the need for a torch. TIA

It's a very personal preference. I have a head torch that I got a couple of months ago from Lidl which I use to see the path ahead of me on the unlit sections. To be seen, I wear stuff that's brightly coloured and has reflective patches.
Thank you nowster I’ll keep a look out for the head torch in Lidl. I’ve got some luminous gloves and reflective strips on jacket etc so ok there but like to run around a local sports field and it’s quite dark during the winter. I was leaning towards a head torch rather than a chest one and if Lidl have some at least it won’t cost too much if I didn’t get on with one.
