It depends on the temperature, if over 60f or 16c I suppose some people might look like a tomato, I try to run when it about 12 to 15c, I don't think I look like a tomato or beetroot but who knows, I would hate to run if the temp was over 20c.

Yes!! I was a tomato for weeks 1-4, then surprisingly un-tomato-like for weeks 5-6, then week 7 I was tomato-like for a good 20 minutes after the run! π

I look and feel like a sweaty tomato, especially in this humidity. Still, I'd rather be a healthy tomato than the block of lard I was beginning to resemble before I started.
I do and i am only on wk6, 2day my face was bright red for a good hour or so after my run ππ

Phew not just me then, itβs a little embarrassing but shows weβre working hard I suppose!

Every run however slow I run! Also my heart rate is in the peak zone for like the whole of the run section.
Yep π€£

...probably after the shorter ones too! The trick is not to look in a mirror! π

Haha I've looked like a tomato every run since W1R1, I prefer to think of it as a healthy glow
