>not smoking crack to actually get high
Checked
Some people get it easily others barely get it at all, guess you got fucked on that front, keep running though, never stop
>Is runners high an actual thing
No. I used to run ultras before lifting and never felt anything remotely close to a runners high. It is just zog schlock to get retards to buy running shoes.
I've never gotten a runner's high but biking highs come easily for me
Same. I can't help but smile when I get going fast on my bike, never felt that way from running in my life.
I get it after 20ish min of running. Well, I used to... heh
I stopped running since I graduated from college (about a year), and now I'm just a blob. I miss running, but I'm too lazy nowadays.
What you really need is some high beat music or whatever shit you like and begin running. No distractions and maintain a breathing rhythm.
Breathing is really important. I, sometimes, would just stop because my breathing was too irregular.
It took me a while to get the runner's high when I first got started
Why do they run?
Who is chasing them?
I run so they(women) can't escape
I run away from women. They're icky.
death
Yes it is, is amazing. I got runner high when I run listening to pink floyd
yes. You need to be warmed up, running an easy pace, and fine a good rhythm. If running is "painful" for you, you will never get it
The closest thing I experience to runner's high is when I'm extremely exhausted and done with running yet a really good song comes on and I feel a sudden rush of energy and just run like a maniac for 10 mins straight, I guess that is a runner's high.... but it's all dependent on the music really...
Last time I experienced one was after a regatta in which I rowed two races. At the end of the day I was exhausted. I got this extremely euphoric high driving home when a good song came on. Never been able to replicate it with a drug.
10 mins in:
god fuck this shit
20 mins in:
hey yeah i can just empty my mind this feels pretty good
25 mins in:
instant shin pain and foot numbness
every single run.
Take a break and lose or gain weight. You either have weak muscles or are too fat.
how about you shut the fuck up since i know my body better than you?
Ppl who can’t run for shit will never make it enjoy the rope when you give up gay
see you at your funeral.
>i know my body better than you
Debatable. Here's some unsolicited advice:
>fix your gait
>get better running shoes that fit well, ones that don't have a lot of support
>get socks that prevent chafing. Not cotton ones.
>don't run on roads, they're at a slight angle and will fuck up your ankles silently.
>do a warm up walk, not stretching, for at least 10 minutes before running
>avoid doing things that give you shin splints, jumping jacks, running in place on your toes, etc.
>if you do get shin splints, stop running for a few weeks or it will just persist
>have rest days
>don't do long runs every time you run, do longs runs once a week at most.
It's so weird. I've been running for years and I've never once experienced shin pain. I've had knee pain before, but that was due to overstriding.
I’m 240 lb, I used to run when I was 180-260, never once had any pain in my legs/knees/whatever. When I was fat I used to get pain in my ribs after a 2 mile
it's less pain but it just closes up and fucking clamps for some reason. you'd think by the 20minute mark it would definitely open up but nah not my calves/shins
Just push past it, pains probably in your head. Try fastest running, I literally don’t get any pain or serious pumps fasted
I'd think I would know if it's my head senpai.
Dude it’s literally in your head tf you on about. Let me guess the second you stop it goes away?
Nope. What other theories you got, doctor who?
Born wrong.
You are a mistake, humanity and existence itself is pain incarnate. Millions of years of our evolution involved nothing but pain for what must’ve felt like an eternity to our ancestors. They simply grew numb to it, a lot died. Today I have indoor heating, a nice track, freshly butchered meat every day at the store, hot or cold water whenever I want, daily hot showers, I could go on and on. I can suffer for a few hours every day, hell I can suffer for a few weeks to. My ancestors, your ancestors have been through so much pain that when I run all I think about is them. The pain they must’ve had on a hunt for example. The feeling of literal starvation, and the motivating factor it must’ve been. I can fucking suffer for two god damn hours a day. It makes my meals taste better.
Infact anyone reading this rn, go for a 2 mile or you’re dad will turn into a chud
Two hours is still to much when existing is almost too much to bear. You think that me exercising for a couple hours will fix everything?
What do you mean?
Go for a 2 mile run rn gay. Fucking asshole, you have water, food, shelter I assume etc.. bro you got air in your lungs stop wasting it
It is dark and the gym is closed. I didn't leave my bed today either. Can't even run a mile anyway.
Go run rn
How?
I think our ancestors enjoyed running honestly and probably enjoyed their lives more than we think
You people make me realize that exercise is a waste of time. Torture yourself regularly so you live longer? Makes no sense. I would rather lie in bed and eat baconators.
for me, it's the 30 minute "holy shit I feel like I'm about to shit myself" stomach pain that goes away once I stop but always fucking prevents me from going further
I did the stair climber machine for a while until I was dying and once I stepped off I felt weightless and everything became brighter, both lasting half a minute
this shit is a kino feeling
Based, it feels like I'm near death and breathing for my life.
This is the real runners high.
Is this the actual runner's high? I get this if I run a few miles. Best I can describe it as is that my head is a cloud floating above my body.
It just refers to feeling happy after you work out. Physical activity arouses the endocannabinoid system, like THC.
This on the other hand is oxygen deprivation.
I used to get it when I’d go on long runs with lots of altitude change, but the trick was to warm up for twenty minutes, rest for ten, and then start the longer, more intensive part of the run. Basically you’re just feeling a burn. I’ve been running casually for close to 5 years and only ever experienced it about a dozen times.
Running is gay as fuck
the only thing worse than running is road cycling
I just have sex lol
When I was on a run and the weather suddenly changed to a pouring thunder storm. It was really hot so the cool rain felt amazing, the thunder was loud and awesome, and put me in a really giddy mood.
fr fr that stuff is like magic
Ive gotten it a few times after some intense cardio and it’s awesome. It’s not like weed where you feel relaxed but it feels like you got a really good mark on a test and that you have no problems. It helps to listen to some energetic music to get you in the zone
I get it from cycling, usually after riding for like 2 hours in the heat and it's amazing.
If you don't get runner's high there is no point putting yourself through that suffering. Just stop chasing the high and give yourself a break from running.
Yes I get it, almost every time I run for more than 1 mile. Usually when I’m running in a track I start zoning out to the middle of the track and just chase it. Idk how to describe it, but that’s what happens when I get it. It’s the same feeling I get deer hunting if that helps.
How do I hunt? I own guns and live in a state with lots of deer and public land (NH) but I have no idea how to hunt and no one to tell me.
Get a license. It’s not deer season yet, that starts in November. And I would get a bow if I were you. (Crossbow if you’re mentally/physically impaired) and wait for the season to start. Archery season is way longer and you’ll have more opportunities. I’ve hunted for 6 years and never once got a deer during rifle season every kill I’ve had had been with my bow. The laws in New Hampshire are pretty lax, finding a spot to hunt is pretty easy, just ask your buddies or soemtbjng , or check online for national parks. DO NOT HUNT out of season. The ward is the one dude that makes me shit my ducking pants. DO NOT Hunt without a licnese either. Seriously don’t ducking piss off the warden he is the last dude you want to piss off and has way too much power. Dude took an entire families guns 1 month ago cause they poached a deer. It was 1 teenager that poached and the whole house lost their guns.
Thanks for the advice. How do I find deer? I own a plot of land next to white mountain national park and once saw a deer walk by next to me, so I know there are deer in the area
Go fuck yourself bud, you are a homosexual. If I could delete a post I would. You are a god damn retard incarnate. You own a plot of land and don’t know how to hunt? bro just SIT STILL ON A TREE FOR A COUPLE HOURS. Dude I’ve literally slept on a tree stand several Times. Either way, DO NOT FUCKING POACH A DEER, DO NOT PISS OFF YOUR WARDEN
>NOT THE WARDERINOS
You just don’t get it, wardens are worse than the gestapo in the north. Either way I’m Gona go for a run. Fuck all you retsrded ass jigger lovers
Boom just finished a 2 mile couple mins ago. Whichever one of you pussies didn’t run after reading this thread, your dad will be coming out as trans todsy
I am my own dad, checkmate.
Shut up I hurt my ankles at work yesterday.
>if you don't run, this is now a push up thread
>roll
I'm not gay, just lucky. I found it for sale on ebay a few years ago and bought it for $4k. Its only 1.4 acres, but its one back yard away from the start of a national park.
Anyway, I don't know why I would want to hunt there when I could walk for 10 minutes and be in proper forest.
Just go into the gay forest where you and your friends blow each other and shoot anything hard and pointy
Sounds like judge Dredd
>the whole house lost their guns.
shall not
I usually get it around mile four and my runners high isn’t like a happy feeling. It’s a lull from the horror my body is experiencing. I just got completely numb and my body just moves.
Why do you run then if you get no enjoyment out of it?
Because I know it’s good for me.
I know it is good for me but I don't do it.
Sounds fat
I am so what. I can eat whatever I want, die faster, and increase my depression which will increase my chances of suicide. Too bad I will go to hell if I do. It is crazy how much exercise you have to do to stay healthy.
It’s really not crazy. You’re just that far gone.
You're not going to get it if you're walking every half mile etc, I normally have to go 5+ to really get it.
being able to run effortlessly for long distances is a good feeling. I don't consider that runner's high. For me, running a meaningful PR is like a high. Running can get very uncomfortable in a way that lifting never gets, especially during a race. Setting a goal might take years to reach and along the way you are dealing with the daily monotony, the weekly discomfort and ultimately the pain of race day. The feeling of reaching your goal time/PR after leaving your absolute everything on the track feels incredible.
My friend runs marathons and he definitely experienced it. Buuut it is like after 6 or 7 hours of waking/running not one hour on treadmill. One time he told me he hallucinated an old man holding a large cup of water in a gold bowl for him. He says that was his most vivid one and he even tried talking to him lmao
It’s just like meditation. You really need to be at high level to do it. Just easier to do drugs which you shouldn’t of course
if you are at the point you're hallucinating then that's not runners high you're actually very dehydrated and in danger or you took drugs ahead of time.
It's not so much runners high as much as it's just a feeling of happiness from exerting yourself. I remember one specific rugby practice in prep for a championship game, coach exhausted us so fucking much that we could barely walk by the end of the session but we all were fucking laughing at how tired we were and shit, literally felt just so fucking happy that we were that exhausted, kind of hard to explain.
I ran cross country and track throughout most of high school and it is real but I’ve only experienced it a handful of times. You just feel totally weightless and like you could run forever. Really cool, I’d imagine people who train very long distances get it more often. Not something I’d expect with any regularity if you’re just running here and there for cardio.
>lift
>feel good
>run
>feel good
Have I been getting high this whole time?
The runner's high that I used to get (before I had to stop because of my knees) was kind of like a caffeine buzz. I'm not talking about chugging Folgers and getting the jitters. I'm talking about a good Cappuccino on Saturday morning after a restful sleep. There's a feeling of warmth, energy, and well being. You can feel it in your whole body, and especially your spine. If you're paying attention it can be fairly intense. If you're not, you might not even notice it. The feeling started while I was running and lasted for hours - not unlike caffeine.
I used to go trail running, about three or four miles a day maybe three times a week. I was not jogging - I was running. It was a very intense level of exertion. At my peak I could just barely run a six minute mile.
I'm a pretty good mountain biker these days. One of the faster guys on my local trails, and with some success at racing in amateur categories. I've also been on a couple of long bikepacking trips. I definitely don't get a runner's high on a bike. I do get an adrenaline rush, which is similar, but not the same. It doesn't last, for one thing.
All that work for what takes me all of 10 seconds to hit my THC vape pen. Retard.
I just told you that I'm an advanced mountain biker, and you think maybe I don't know what it's like to smoke pot?
Probably not in the same way you get high from drugs.
However, as you are running, relax and feel the freedom and lightness. It's quite a unique sensation.
>runners high
Overrated meme. Nearly blacking out in the gym feels 10x better. Nothing more euphoric than your vision greying and tunneling, losing your entire sense of hearing, and having your whole body go numb for about ten seconds.
I have never gotten a runners high they're just fucking lying they're fucking making shit up and just going alone with it I have never once in my life experienced this phenomenon. Runner's high? More like I want to die because running is so fucking boring.
yes, I 100% get it, and pretty easily, I think it's genetic.
Closest I've ever felt is the weird sensation when you stop running but it still feels like you're running and everything's moving.
I only got it once or twice when I was running. I ran my best time by a good margin and felt fucking amazing. I think you gotta go for at least 30 minutes though, I was doing a 10k
High intensity workouts make me "get it". I only run short distances at a very fast pace, so there's that.
I wouldn't say it's runners high, but ever since I started running 5 miles every other day, I feel fantastic near mile 4 and fucking motivated. Mainly, I feel great because I know that I can eat without feeling any guilt for the day
God I waitt to make my gf looks like this.
Thank goodness I made it clear from the start that I expect her to lift and got her on an exercise program.
This is architecture, fuck fat fetishists.
When I finish a roon i get this nice light headed floaty feeling for a little while, a bit like a light dose of laughing gas, but nothing too intense and I don't feel like that during my run only after. When people say that runners high is like heroin or some shit, they're just exaggerating. It's nice but not that nice
Yes it is. I used to run a bunch and got it every time. Then I joined the army and it doesnt happen for me anymore. Cherish it
