I've just got my first ever runner's high. Why is it better than any wank that I've ever had?
Like seriously, why isn't Jow Forums, or hell, even the NHS advertising this shit? I'm just one of many degenerates who has spent literally years chasing a good wank, and now I'm finding out that I could've just went out for a run and got fucking fit? That's fucking crazy. I might even abandon women all together, if I can get a high like this for free and get fit at the same time, what use is sex?
Enjoy while it lasts, it's gonna get harder and harder to get it again.
Shit, source?
No proofs, just something I experienced in 4 years of running.
>even the NHS advertising this shit
Because the government does not want what's good for you
I've been running For a while but never experienced a high
I still don't believe this meme. If it takes more than 3 miles of running to feel it then it's not worth the time anyway.
Runners high is the best shit ever OP.
been actively running everyday since april for an hour or more a day.
I had my runners high back when i was 17. It was raining like crazy, but my feet were burning like fuck not normal because i kept running for like 2 hours... after a while, i stopped running and went somewhere inbetween running and walking, using my back heel, so absorb more of the hits, because i truly wanted to run till my body was broken. Then after that, i threw my shoes and socks off, laid down in the grass, listening to the wind and rain.
"passed" out for a few mins, or more like i closed my eyes, and not caring it was night, not caring it was raining, not caring someone might rob me... experiencing the greatest high i ever had, I thought "so this is what it feels like to be alive?".
After that i couldn't walk normal for an entire week tho.
True story.
Why would I run to get high from putting my body in extreme pain/duress when I can just hang off the ceiling with hooks in my skin to get the same effect?
Risk of infection, clean up, and not being able to do it before bed.
I have never felt it. Even when I have pushed myself to the point of aspirating blood

Next step is a heroína’s high user, you’ll be talking about it for days
cool story and image user
How long do you have to rum to get high?
If your breathing isnt "mediated" then you wont get it.
I have never gotten one? I run every other day for 1h+ and have gotten my heartrate to 180 but never felt anything more than a second wind at about 20-40 minutes in
I only got it once after jogging for 6k, I made it to 10k and my breathing felt good, it was the pain in my legs that made me stop
You never zoned out and felt like you could run forever?
Not at all what I would call a high
fatfag
What does that mean?
Some people think that numb, floaty, zone out is a high
I am
and it only ever feels like running suddenly doesn't suck anymore and I am back to 90%
I dont get it either.
Also, can more of you guys tell us how it came to be? I have 2 similar things happening to me but Im not sure its what you are talking about.
>when you start a run and it feels like the whole day sitting and walking was unnatural to your body and running is rly what its made for. You just fly away on your kicks
>after couple of more km: legs and breathing are in perfect sync, going at a medium-high pace, feeling like you could run this exact pace for hours and hours
>too lazy to experience a completed 14 hour grand canyon hike high
what a bitch
ITT plebs who can't get a runner's high in under 20 minutes.
Heroinea?
anyone?
As your endurance increases it takes more of your body to reach nirvana. Enjoy now when your a noob user.
Idk OP I'm a fat sack of shit and feel superb after running 1 mile. My feet hurt and I get small cramps but if I keep beating my feet it feels better than my first O.
It's like being on Mary jane but you're more aloof. I only ran 3.5 miles before as my longest continuous tun. Its fucking glorious
Past the point of total exhaustion you have to continue then you will feel euphoric as if you can run forever.
>why isn't Jow Forums, or hell, even the NHS advertising this shit?
nobody in either of those places has ever ran in their lives
Your second point is is how I got my high.
sigur ros is best running music
if you've never had a runner's high while lsitening to hoppipolla you've never felt life before
I almost had the opportunity to enjoy that nirvana you're speaking of, swear to god.
It was in Uni gym too. But the MOMENT it started, I moved my hands in the wrong way on the treadmill and yanked out the emergency stop cord.
One of the worst feelings I've ever had.
What speed?
>more than 3 miles
lmao this powermuncher cant even do 30 minutes of cardio. The recommendations for the absolute worst sedentarist to reverse pre-diabetes is 35 minutes 5 times a week.
4+ miles
Trained for and ran 3 half marathons.
Never had a runner high.
They say that but I have been running since I was a little kid and theres one thing thats always true, no one ever finishes a run and doesn't feel good about it or wishes they didn't do it.
About a pint or so, if you're a large lad with a non-zero pre-existing tolerance.
>infection is for the weak
>if you think cleaning up is a hassle, you are weak
just sleep while hanging bro
