Thanks for the podcast and other resources! I'll be sure to check these out!
I have a question about this "runner's high". You see, I'm very interested in getting into running and actually sticking with it/enjoying it. I've been in average shape my entire life, did track/x-country and a variety of sports in school but was not particularly strong in them. In fact, I'd say I was among the weaker runners. I was tiny but simply had no endurance. I don't think spending my summers playing video games helped much either. As I got older I would go through workout phases, and honestly I still felt like I could not run as well/for as long as your average person. My mom started running a month or so ago and is simply hooked. She's always been in phenomenal shape, and keeps telling me about this "high" she gets. A lot of my friends/acquaintances who are hooked on running tell me about this. Honestly, in my entire life, even after running for 45 minutes straight I have never felt any kind of high. I may have felt good/accomplished, but I still considered running to be a chore.
So tell me, GAF. Can anyone attain this and if so, HOW! I want to become addicted to running!
