The Runners High and Why You Get It
The runners high is a myth.
Most people say it is formed by endorphins which are released when the body reaches an exhaustive date.
Mentally this high state is filled with feelings of euphoria and an intense pleasurable feeling.
Most people equate this to sex and having an orgasm.
The runners high is not an objective feeling, meaning this state canopy be achieved with precision.
It is hit and miss and that is why I write.
I believe this state can be achieved with a set of tools.
The runner's high is achieved when you forget yourself, if you have ever achieved this state you will note that it is never noticed until it has passed.
It is a bit like driving car when you are tired.
You remember that you moved from destination A to B but you remember after the fact.
You do not know how you drive, made the right lane changes and how you got to your destination.
You drove but there was no driver.
With this running state the same rules applies.
You only know you had a runners' high after the fact and not during and the reason for this is the absence of the ego or mind.
So to get this sate you need to find ways to forget the ego.
There is a contradiction in itself because the very act of forgetting the ego needs an ego.
There has to be a forgetter who wants to forget.
So you need to find ways to make the ego weak.
And this is done by becoming aware during a run.
If you become aware you will forget the mind.
Involving all the senses when you run will take out the mind and the runner's high can be achieved.
A good way to do this is to focus on the sky, looking at a limitless sky will involve the senses and take your mind away.
Do not focus on the clouds or on an object in the sky, just look through and into the sky using all your senses.
If you do this the central observer the mind will be taken out and you will be able to achieve the high that runners are so desperate to achieve.
The other common solution is to meditate but again meditation is a poor way of achieving the high as it involves the use of meditator or ego to meditate.
