Going out for a run, it often happens that most of us look like a sweaty mess.

Red cheeks, drops of sweat running down her face and tangled hair from the accelerated movement.

But for Iris Macleaod, who ran an entire marathon, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

The brunette wowed TikTok users with the “most photogenic” shots people have ever seen.

Iris took part in the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday 29 May and has already collected her professional photos.

It was the first beauty marathon and she shared that she was “nervous” before the race.

Despite the initial nervousness, Iris managed to finish the race and now has some great photos to remember her with.

In a TikTok clip that has now racked up 149,000 views, Iris first shared a smiling post-race photo of herself that wasn’t professionally taken.

He wrote: “I got my marathon photos back!”

Iris then revealed the professional photo set where she looks absolutely stylish while running.

Her long locks were tied into a flawless pony that swayed back and forth as her face shone with a bright smile, a far cry from the usual sweaty marathon photos.

But looking good and running a good marathon really kept Iris up at night, she captioned the post: “Now stay in bed all day!”
