Like a beetroot!

Completed week 7, run 1 today. The sun was out for part of the run and so I felt pretty warm. Unfortunately I’m one of those people that goes bright red after exercising, so I arrived home and was met in the mirror by a hot, sweaty beetroot! Took a while for the red to die down. Does anyone else have the same problem with redness?

Yeah, I just finished W3R1 and I was sweating during the end run but didn't think I was that hot until I looked in the mirror. What a spectacle!

Oh yes , I've been running 17 months and just yesterday with the weather being so much better I was like you say a red sweaty beetroot even after a shower. I don't care I worked hard for that look🤣

I’m awful for red facedness - put me off exercising as a teenager but am finally getting over it and just seeing it as proof that I’ve exercised. I know from the past that as I get fitter it does improve and at least take less time to die down so hoping to get there again.

Good to know I’m not the only one!

Red face is a badge of honor for running. Good you. I'm finding it hard to dress for cold but sunny. It's like a strip show on the hoof. Gloves, then buff, then hat, unzip the windbreaker, then the half zip. Thank goodness the jacket has pockets.

I would just love to be able to run without a shirt in the nice weather. But my body is more like the Michelin man. Just got to keep at it...

OMG - that's completely me. Any sign of heat and I'm a beetroot or even radish. I'm very fair, so maybe that's why, though it's heat, not sunburn...... It's nothing to do with being unfit either, just me, as the same thing used to happen in my fit, young, hockey days. People used to ask me if I was OK!!:🤣😂🍆🍅🍎🌶
