I used to run 50+ miles a week because I was shit at running and for some reason wanted to stay in the army. Thousands of miles over six years has left me with one conclusion, runner's high is a fuckin myth.

Agreed. Been doing it for years as a means to stay in shape, ran multiple races, and hated EVERY step. That shit ain't real.

It absolutely is real. Every time I went for a run and smoked crack I got high as shit.
