Runners high
Best feeling ever, amirite?
I love endorphins.
No need for drugs.
Does anyone else get this often? I only get it when its an intense run, like 6 miles of up hill and downhill for up to an hour. The feeling after though is magical.

I get a "boxers high" I guess when I really go intense on heavy bag work, like maybe 6 rounds or so. I feel euphoric for an hour afterwards.
Some runs leave me feeling really peaceful also.
I generally feel better after any work out really. It's half the reason to work out.

Yeah the other day, I was completely nackered and then I had to do 20 mins biking on the hill setting. Anyway as soon as I started I felt like giving up but i keep goin.
The last 2 minutes my legs had cramped up and i was in pain but you just keep going.
The whole of that ride i felt like my legs were not mine they were just so tired.
But as long as you just push through it's an awesome feeling when your'e done.

Best thing for my saturday morning hangover when my head is throbbing. 45 minute ride, I feel like a million bucks. Stressful day at work? Same deal, I can feel the stress melting away. This is one reason why my wife will never question my purchasing of cardio equipment, she knows how I am when I don't get my fix.
Heavy lifting not going to failure also has a similar effect. Try doing a couple of sets of barbell snatches.

I think it varies. Ive had great runs of 40 minutes and got amazing highs, ive had 90 minute runs and got them
Hell, most of the time I get one. sometimes though I feel like shit afterwards.
I do agree, they are the greatest feeling in the world.
had one the other day and people thought i was on something, i was off the walls and just giddy.

Of all the running I do, I've only ever gotten the runners high twice. It's like something clicked in my body and I felt like I could run forever with no effort. Each time was under completely different conditions, so I have no idea how to re-create it.

just consistent, I think its more of the rhythm of breathing/stride
I really get myself in tune breath to step ratio and I just get in an amazing rhythm where I dont ever want to stop. I get that feeling and its better than any drug i would imagine.
