  • Cheers for the videos' mate, very inspiring. You should come over and run the London marathon!

  • This is true. Very true. I experienced it but I did not know it had to do endorphins. My eyes will focus on a distant object, I feel like I lost command of my swinging legs and arms and get into a trance mentally. Its almost like I am asleep but my muscles somehow know what to do in the running motion. Very true.

  • If you use endorphins for self defense = super attack!!

  • Endorphins are released in areas of the brain that are centres of pain suppression.

    This could also have important implications for pain patients. This should be a motivation for them to take up sports training (within their available limits)!

  • yeah I experienced it tooo in a morning a few days ago when I was running to catch the train

  • thumbs up if you have had a runners high

  • THANK YOU. GREAT INFORMATION, GREAT INSPIRATION.

  • In martial arts we call this "mushin" which means "no mind". It happens to runners because we practice the same movement over and over until the mind is minimally involved. Unfortunately I have never experienced this.

  • thumps up if u zoned out while he was talking

  • man ur very right, it is very addictive, before i started running i could not go a mile, 1yr now i am addicted to running, it feels good, and i cannot do without music, just watching some fitness videos on you tube makes me sweat and feels like hitting the treadmill

  • I felt it only once. I am going to reach it again. Its beautiful. Its been years, and I need to build my cardiovascular health back up again. Going to take some months, but its worth it.

  • sounds like my experience sprinting when i hit my stride. Long distance i just can't do it though lol
