The Runner Dudes | Episode 12 | Runner's High?

On the Runner Dudes podcast, we explore the world of running, from beginner tips to advanced strategies. Today, we delve into the elusive "runners high" – that euphoric feeling some experience during or after a run.

We discuss whether prioritizing this feeling over personal records is truly the way to go. While PRs are exciting, we acknowledge the profound benefits of the runners high, which is scientifically linked to the release of endocannabinoids.

We emphasize that building up to this feeling takes time and patience. Starting slow, focusing on the journey, and finding joy in the process are key.

Ultimately, we encourage listeners to find their own rhythm and purpose in running, whether it's about speed, distance, or simply the mental and emotional well-being it provides.
