What causes the runner’s high? #runnershigh #running #endorphins #endocannabinoidsystem

The runner’s high is defined as an emotional state during or after endurance training characterized by reduced pain sensitivity, sedation, euphoria, and reduced anxiety. Its origin is hard to pin down since it doesn’t occur in all runners and the difficulty in measuring all the possible causes especially those unique to the brain. However, research is closing in on the factors most likely responsible.
