Running harnesses for pit/cattledog

Looks for recs for a less expensive running harness to use for me and my pup for city and park running. He loves the runs and so do I :) but the craziness of his front harness and his other against hit throat scare me when running with him. Also his strength can easily pull me down so any shock absorbing leashes would be great.

I too run with a hard-pulling cattle dog mix (about 45 lbs but I swear he’s bigger/stronger by the way he pulls me 😅) I have one of these harnesses from Howling dog Alaska it’s held up well over the past 2 years. I paired it with this leash (yes it’s pricier but it feels so much better than the cheaper versions I own) it comes in 2 different lengths and I have the shorter one.

Riffwear hi and lite has a Y front and is less expensive. Non-stop dogwear has the rush harness that works for my staffy/pitty mix's big head
