Are you guys familiar with the term "runner's high"? You can run your way to a better mood

[iloverachel]

The "runner's high" is a euphoric sensation that some people experience during or after intense exercise, often characterized by feelings of pleasure, reduced anxiety, and a sense of well-being.

Here's what we know about it:

• Endorphins and Beyond: While often attributed to the release of endorphins ("endorphin rush"), recent research suggests that other neurochemicals, particularly endocannabinoids, may play a more significant role.
  • Endocannabinoids: These are naturally produced compounds in the body that interact with the same receptors as THC in cannabis. They can produce feelings of relaxation, euphoria, and pain relief.
    
    
    
• Factors that May Contribute:
  • Intensity and Duration: A runner's high is more likely to occur during prolonged or intense exercise.
  • Individual Variability: Not everyone experiences a runner's high. Factors like genetics, fitness level, and individual sensitivity to these neurochemicals likely play a role.
• Research:
  • Research on the runner's high is ongoing.
  • Scientists are still investigating the exact mechanisms and the role of different neurotransmitters in this phenomenon.
    
    Let's get RUNNING!! (or any other kind of exercise)

The "runner's high" is a euphoric sensation

Similar for all Cultists .
Cult Christians preach how coming to Goddy/Sonny Boy means arriving through suffering.

Sadists and masochists both love it, but for different reasons .

I used to experience this when I was a runner, but an injury kept me away from running at age 65 (ten years ago), and I never got back into it. I'm convinced now that interval training is better than running for my heart and lungs, but there is no analogous "feeling" after an intense interval workout (which I do on my stationary bike).

Thankfully, the expression, "It's all in your head," is probably accurate for the runner's high.
