Runner's High

Runner's High is a feeling of euphoria and reduced pain experienced by some people during or after prolonged aerobic exercise, particularly running. It is believed to be caused by the release of endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that act as natural painkillers and mood elevators. This state can lead to increased feelings of happiness, relaxation, and a sense of accomplishment. While not everyone experiences it, those who do often find it motivates them to continue exercising, contributing to both physical and mental well-being.
