W9R2 - tomato?!

[Helenpa]

Anybody else end up resembling a ripe tomato at the end of these longer runs?! 🍅🍅🍅

I do after the early runs ahaha! God help me when I get to week 5/6!

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! 🍅

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 😂😂

[Helenpa Graduate]

Phew not just me then, it’s a little embarrassing but shows we’re working hard I suppose!

[Saartjie Graduate]

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

[Zippy77]

Yep 🤣

A cross between a tomato 🍅 and an aubergine 🍆 😬😬😬

[WibbleWobble69]

I do after short runs!! 😂

[Elfe5 Graduate]

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

[lollytwist Graduate]

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