Meaning you should face oncoming traffic. Runners have been run over on sidewalks by drunk drivers or bad drivers or drivers who have skidded and veered off the road.

I think it’s also a good idea to leave the music at home when running in the dark. Drivers are often more distracted before and after work, and running without music keeps you more aware of what is going on around you. Not only do you want drivers to look out for you, but you need to look out for drivers!

I have the slim wristband that I wear all the time; for run, biking, walking the dog…everywhere. Totally worth the $20

Bright colors are more visible that darker colors in the dark, but not by much, and probably not enough to save your life. When drivers are looking into the headlights of oncoming cars in the other lanes you as the runner will become nearly invisible to them. Reflectors and your motion will do so much more to allow drivers to see and react to you than a yellow or pink top.

As long as you have the app on your phone, as soon as you open it, it detects your GPS location and notifies emergency authorities and anyone else you have chosen to include on your emergency contacts.
Really brilliant idea! Even having it on my phone makes me feel safer!

Hope this helps!
