I’d like to get a running jacket and hat for when I’m out on drizzly mornings. Can anyone recommend something that is suitable for light rain? Thanks

I prefer getting wet to a jacket as I don’t then overheat (which means I’m gonna be wet anyway) and good technical fabrics dry pretty fast. In winter I just tend to avoid running in rain, in summer I’ll wait for the rain to come if there’s any in the forecast on a warm day.

On the head I wear a buff as a beanie in most weather... any moisture it gets either way helps to keep me cooler.

Fair enough, maybe I just need to get some proper tops for running.

That’ll help a lot... the below mentioned decathlon do proper running tops that start at £5, and plenty of other quality bargains.
