Anyone else get pitch red when running?

Guilty!!

I too suffer from the the tomato face. Unfortunately I cant offer up a solution but will be following this in case someone else can. I look in the mirror half an hour after a run and am still glowing red.

All I can add is that at least you are doing some exercise, and maybe red will be next seasons in colour.

Loads of us..including me... every shade from Beetroot to Pillar Box... to Fire Engine.. all the shades of red. It is the new colour for us folk who are off the couch and doing it!

Do not worry...I know, easier said than done....But.... You are there, you are exercising.. who gives a whatever, about what folk think! Come on, let folk stare! You are a runner...

You bet. Mine goes so red with even the lightest of exercise that people have asked if I need assistance. And somehow all of my sweat seems to come from my face. Be proud of it. It's a badge of pride for a good running session.

Yup. I'm red for over an hour after a strenuous run. But I see it as a badge of honour - I've earned it by my efforts!

I go beetroot red too. I think at this stage I'm reasonably fit but it hasn't lessened in any way. I blush very easily too so I'm thinking that's linked somehow. I'm always envious when you see people who take photos after a race or run who are glowing, I could never do that as I'd look ridiculous! I guess some people are blessed and the rest of just need to deal with being tomatoes 😳😳😳

Yes, agree - think of it as a badge of honour.

I go bright red in the face too! I used to be incredibly self conscious about it, but I'm not now. I run outside, don't want to ever run in the gym and I find that now it's cooler I don't go quite as red.

I'm another tomato face! I go really red during and after running and it takes ages to go away, so like others, following this thread in case anyone has an answer. I also blush easily. Maybe it's just my complexion. I don't worry about it so much now as I know it's not because I'm unfit or about to expire - well I hope not!

I don't only go red, I go Aubergine !

I don't get embarrassed about it anymore at all, in fact I hardly think about it at all now ! xxx

You know what? I'm sure all that increased blood flow to the face is actually good for the complexion

I go red too but who cares? it shows you are out there doing some exercise!! Last year we ran a colour chart on here 🤣 how many shades of red can we get... be a 🍅 and proud of it just keep going!!
