I know I'm not the only one to come back off a run making a ripe tomato look insipid in comparison, but I am wondering if it's just one of those things, or does the redness calm down a bit the fitter you get? In the meantime, I take comfort in the thought of all the extra benefits to the complexion with the increased circulation
I know know there is truth in the old saying that horses sweat, men perspire and ladies GLOW!
just avoid mirrors 
i was so red yesterday after my run, i seriously think my bllod pressure was up!! as Bxster said just avoid mirrors!!
All trouble is as you get fitter you do more! Chasing the redness.
The only answer is to plan a flattering wardrobe I fear 
im so glad you mentioned this, i go a sort of blackcurrent colour, im wondering if this is normal, is there something wrong with my blood should it be a more reddie colour:))
I've said this before, but I go raspberry ripple flavour....my face is streaked pink and white
This made me larf! I made the mistake of buying bright pink running tops and the clash with the blotchy beetroot shades of my face is hideous lol! Avoiding mirrors/people is best!
About to start week 7 and sorry to report the further along I get on the plan, the redder I get and I didn't think that would be possible haha!
I have always been a fully paid up member of the beetroot club since I was at school, even when I was quite fit I was always being told to train more becasue of the red face! This is the second time I have done c25k and I think this year the beetroot is a little paler but only one shade. I did see a thread somewhere about this, seems some of us go red and some of us don't
When I see other people running and they don't have a red face I think it's weird, they can't be working hard enough or they're superhuman!
I always get a red face when I'm exercising even when I was fitter so sorry can't reassure you there.
At least you're building up a sweat...I like to kid myself that I'm working harder and therefore burning more calories (yeah right)
I'm red and proud!
Welcome to the family guys! X
Your replies all made me laugh. I am a ribenaberry and proud! Think of the money I'll save on blusher!
Haha! Glow?! I have never glowed! I go from pale to bright red, even my legs, which transform into pulsating beacons of redness. And the sweat...in this hot weather, the sweat is such that if i don't get straight into a shower i honk so badly i stop flies mid-air! I thought i suffered alone but glad all you guys go red too!
Never mind mirrors, i avoid all people...and my own nose!
I too go bright red when exercising. Always have done. I don't think it's anything to do with fitness or lack of. Looks like you're not alone, anyway. Think of it has a "healthy glow"..........
very red. very sweaty! arms & legs join in with the redness. anywhere that isnt held down under the sports bra (thats the only part of me that stays my normal colour
& lately with the running outside if the sweat gets a chance to dry I also get flaky white patches on my cheeks by my nose & on my chin. hmmmm.
I think the other joggers & dog walkers say "morning" & are secretly thinking "that doesnt look healthy!"
on the plus side, I hardly ever get spots on my face & people have commented on my healthy looking skin so it must be like using a sauna/steam room.
