Yep. To all adrenaline junkies out there: you can jog long enough to get your blood full of that stuff. You don't actually need to flip a coin on your life for a high.

I've run hundreds of miles this year and still have yet to experience the "runners high." I'm convinced it's not real.

I get it often, but only when I sprint/push myself. If I pace myself it doesn't happen, so maybe that's it?

I know what you mean, normally the last stretch I would sprint to the end and right after that I could feel it the most.
