Any other beetroot faces out there?

Hi everyone, I'm after some tips and advice to combat the beetroot-face I get every time I go running. My face gets really hot and basically goes bright red.

I have always had this problem ever since childhood - I was always the kid who came in from playtime looking like someone had injected red paint under my skin Confused

I don't think it's a sign of unfitness as I used to play loads of sports as a teen and still had the red-face. It's just a bit embarrassing!
Is it just something I need to suck up and live with or is there anything I can do to reduce it?

Oh yes, bright red dripping in about 15 mins into workout
But reckon my recovery time is fast enough to not worry about it.

I am 42 and ALWAYS go beetroot red & sweat loads (think hair soaking as if I've walked out the shower) - I am quite fit, it's just what I do.
Sorry - it's a 'live with it' from me Smile
