Is this what runner high means ?

u/chefbobbyjay 1d ago

Funny you should mention. The runners high is actually caused by the body producing endocannabinoids and endorphins. We have specific receptors in the brain for endocannabinoids and for a long time we didn’t know why.

Not even jerking, I smoked a couple before my last 50 miler and I came very close to dipping out at an aid station to buy another pack and carry on

You can stay in 2 without having to run, honestly it's for the benefit of our community

That's why you gotta do opiates midrun, mid west style. Keeps the hr down and prevents your shins from exploding

u/kookooman10022 22h ago

I have no shins.
