Running in the dark

Here’s a pro tip from coach Karel (who probably ran 100’s of hours in the dark by now):⁠
⁠
“I was stumbling hundreds of times each night and lost all my toenails before someone explained what I was doing wrong.⁠
⁠
I used to run with my torch on my head and I just couldn’t see how high the rocks and roots were. That’s because the beam of light, in that position, is not casting clear shadows.⁠
⁠
So, instead of on your head, you should keep a headtorch in your hand/on your waist. That’s when the shadows become visible and you can see the rocks and roots more clearly.”⁠
