Just wanted to say a big thank you to whoever it was that mentioned that Aldi do a Runners Kit for £9.99. Bought one this afternoon n I have to say I’m very happy with it. It includes a water bottle, an adjustable running belt with a big pocket n a pocket for your phone plus holes for headphone cables, some reflective lock laces, and 2 LED lights with 3 settings plus armbands, and a little screwdriver for the battery compartment AND the batteries are already in so you don’t have to faff. I’m a very happy bunny right now! 😀

What a great little pack and good price too...as a newbie runner (maybe stupid question) Where would you put the led lights ? I think I need a little Aldi visit 🏃‍♀️

It really is isn’t it! The lights clip onto the armbands, the pic shows them round the upper arms but I guess you could put them elsewhere if you prefer

Ok lovely thank you, I have seen people with lights on their forehead !!! Seeing as I look like “Larry” the lobster on my runs that’s the last accessory I would need 😂

To be honest, if it’s dark enough for them I would only be running on well-lit roads so they don’t feel entirely necessary but they are really bright 👍

I don’t run on the road at the moment so won’t be running in the dark anytime soon but once I get some road shoes I’m sure they’ll be very handy
