last night i went running while it was snowing. i listen to Ulrich Schnauss while i run...its very calming. you gotta go running when its snowing out...its the best. you're all alone doing what needs to be done...

Runner's high does exist, it has been scientifically proven by the medical establishment. When the body is taken far beyond what it can handle, the brain releases this natural morphine substance and is overflown with endorphins. It feels terrific and makes people happy and confident, similarly to other drugs (but healthier). Since this feeling is so great, exercise can be addictive and people that work out a lot and stop have trouble sleeping and even get depressed.

Like other drugs, you also build up a resistance to its effects. Generally the rush lasts about 15 minutes. Since the body will become used to your workout routine, in the long run you will have to work out harder to achieve this same feeling.

Same with me. My right knee is f'd. Stationary bike for me.

what you experienced is known as endorfines, your body produces them when you have sex and when you work out, particularly cardio excersize... You get a surge of it when you're in the middle of the run and afterwards, you feel euphoric. This is scientific facts, no bullshit. (God wants us to have reproduce and look great cool)

That's why you actually get more energy from doing a good workout.

That's why they say exercise is good for anxiety and depression.

I know exactly what you mean, you feel unstopable, I remember running about 6 miles last month and IO could have kept going for 10-12, but about in the middle I got a high and felt like I was cumming, you know all the chills and good feelings that flow through your body, It brought a little bit of tears of happiness to my eyes, I dont know why it did, but it was great, and I felt like I could accomplish anything. I have gotten this about a dozenb times real good, but that one was the best.

good thread.

it only happens once i a while for me but i'll be running and all of a sudden (sometimes coinciding with the peak of a trance song i might be listening to at the time) my entire body just feels fluid and my stride is just perfect almost like i am bounding from one foot to the other....i stop thinking about how much effor i am putting into the run and just glide along...it's wonderful

Yeah, I'd have to agree. Sometimes when I get those really shitty days the only thing I can convince myself to do is go for a run. It's nice to only have your thoughts for company, and it really helps take your mind off all that other bullshit you have going on in your life at the moment.

And there is no greater feeling than finishing a hard run, cooling down and jumping in the shower. My day always starts out much better this way.
