Have you heard of the Runner high? It isnt fully understood but the theory is - Run past your comfort level (described as 30 mins at 80% heart rate) and 2 mood modifiers are secreted: Endorphim and anandomide. The chemicals will hit your brain barrier boosting your mood and limit the pain signals. Euphoria may kick in as the endorphins downshift the area of your brain that regulates motivation and emotions giving you that I am amazing feeling. Anandrunide triggers a dopamine release which plugs into your brains pleasure circuits and gives you the bliss feeling. Thank you Mens Health for the reassurance that we might be crazy but there might be some science behind it too.
