A RUNNERS HIGH | WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?

A RUNNERS HIGH. Simple, short video this week but i hope you like it. Each runner will probably describe what a runners high feels like a little bit differently, but this video is my way of visually showing you what it's like. Hope you like it!
I want this channel to be a place of inspiration and storytelling for everyone to listen to, whether it be about #running or anything else! I am very new to this vlogging/editing videos thing, so I'm still trying to get better with all the little stuff, but please feel free to leave some constructive criticism in the comments or let me know what video you want to see next!

The moment when you feel like you are just floating on the road and feel like you could go for hours on end. Best feeling.

[@musamontu]

Damn, it really really is 🙏🏼🔥 there's truly nothing like it 🙌🏼

[@Fe0lig]

brb imma go run

[@elijahorr]

Thats what i like to hear!

[@BryerTheKing1]

It does exist as I to felt it.

[@drflips6818]

one time i didn’t want to do my 1 hour long run with surges at then end. i started off running a 6:50 average for the first 3 miles and i thought i was going to have another bad run but then i become weightless my lungs become full my legs become ache less my mind becomes aware and i move 4th mile is 6 flat, followed by a series of 6 0s abs sub 6 miles i have one of my best runs of my life then i had the best sleep of my life

@@drflips6818 i haven’t done it in ages too, but i’m about to go on my “first” run since i stopped, hopefully it’ll be an at least okay one 💪 (btw i hope you can find the time and motivation to go on another run again!)

[@louskunts2160]

High? I just feel like I’m about to die. Must be nice.

[@possiblegames2953]

same here

[@niohyork]

You yet need to active optimal level where you feel no pain .... takes time about 1000km

[@knosis]

For me, when you feel like you are about to die and keep going a bit more, then the high kicks in. Listening to music usually helps me get it more too.

[@rockyap3187]

all you need is the right music and setting and youll be able to get it

[@samuelflores2024]

When you feel like you’re going to die, keep on running and don’t slow down. You’ll get the runners high and see the beauty of how far your body can actually go when you ignore the voice telling you to stop. It’s very powerful because when you’re in that state of mind, you feel like you can do anything so you keep on running another 4 miles. You wake up the next day and do it all again because you know you can accomplish anything you put your mind to :)

[@way5760]

“A sudden rush, a wave of endorphins; you feel like you can do anything.” Perfect description of running. It means even more if you’re passionate about it because of all the phenomenal benefits it truly has. Nice video, E.

[@forunlawfulcar-nalknowledg1081]

Runners high usually hits me around mile 4. I never seem to feel “warmed up” until then.

[@coolboyclick7486]

For me it’s usually 3 miles In sometimes 2.5 miles all depends but usually 3 miles In and I always feel better after a run then before

[@gabedaniel9948]

I can’t run four miles I’m dead at 2

[@chadmascasvay2839]

I been running for about 4 months and I don't know if I have ever experience the runners high! But what I can say is that my body never lets me miss a run no matter how tired I am or don't want too.

[@meldabelda]

if a runner’s high had a song, for me it’s “A Moment Apart” by ODESZA

[@elijahorr]

YES!!

[@therapyquack]

Lets agree we all listen to it when we run or have listened to it once.

[@deviningram6814]

Mine would be Mac Miller's, "The question"

I feel the same in the gym, the first hours i literally feel like im gonna die, even metallic taste in my mouth, second hour start to spike really fast and then euphoria hits; you feel above all

[@matthewlubey9316]

Makes me love running more. Just can’t go without it.

[@tjarchived]

This gave me chill bumps and I’m saving this for every time I feel like not running

[@jaretk7585]

The funny thing is is that it kicks in at the most random moments

[@aa-vy7cw]

So, you experience it while you're running, or after you're done running? The most I run is 2 hours at a time, and I don't think I've ever felt a runner's high. I feel great, but not euphoric.

[@tristanliggett4088]

This would've been great 2 weeks ago... I had an essay on what a runners high feels like haha

[@olegnovitski6987]

I get high during runs quite often, but what I like even more is the continuous feeling of lightness and clear thinking and calmness that I get throughout a day after a long run. Even if the run itself was particularly hard, I always get this feeling.

[@novennelagua3151]

When your mind tells you not to run but you still manage to do it, congrats! After that you feel runners high haha

[@classich9623]

I felt it today and nothing can be better

[@curtmosca1654]

Any particular reason you do not listen to music on runs/workouts?

[@MorganInForm]

creative video!

[@vallo220]

I run daily, maybe felt "runners high" once since I started my journey. I just ran and my legs felt like springs and I felt like I was breathing at a slow walk. I surpassed my normal milage and I felt accomplished after the run. However most days I am bored and don't want to run, but push myself to run. Wish I felt what I did that day, everyday....

[@complxhellasfreeproducts4894]

Hey I found that for me not eating any sugar helps a lot on running dont know why maybe try it

[@nberkel]

Simplicity at its finest

[@lionelwest3770]

Love the vid!!!

ahh thanks!

[@nelsonkiiru7252]

You also get this feeling after a workout too but it has to be intense.

[@TirnanHealy]

It’s a cold, wet and miserable day in England and I’ve been planning a 10 miler, I felt the excuses not to go trying to come in and then watched this. Guess what? I’m getting some calories in and I’m gonna go! Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that we will likely feel better, calmer, happier more positive after a good run! Cheers

[@NeillyVille]

Jus what I need for my Half this Sunday! Cheers, Elijah!

Good luck!

[@mckenziedawson3211]

Runners High is rewarding and beautiful and runners lows are humbling , conclusion is that running is like a life lesson

[@SatisfyingWhirlpools]

I usually get the high afterwards laying in the sun

[@cruzmartinez5599]

most recent runners high was on a long run. Before the run, my legs felt like crap so i was already expecting to drop back pretty early but i stuck with my boys 5.5 miles out, never going above 7:20 pace. Way back we hit sub 7 every mile and it got the the point where my legs and feet felt no pain. not quite numbness, but like every step felt like nothing; almost zero effort. then at the end my feet were sore beyond belief, but that was the best run I ever had.

[@davidcoffman321]

they say if you run far (get high) enough you'll run into the next dimension and meet the clockwork elves

[@elijahorr]

hahahaha

What's the music in background? If anyone know please let me know. Thanks in advance

Now that I have been training for 4 years consistently,my mood has consistently got better and better ,my problem with runners high is I will have just a couple of beers ,then 2am I am I a bar pretty drunk ,although hopefully with covid I have learnt to control

[@aa-vy7cw]

I always feel great after running, but not sure if it's a runner's high kind of a great.

[@IntangibleYT]

Nice thumbnail Elijah!

[@zsofianemeth283]

Man..now I HAVE to go for a run. 😍So motivating. Also I'm sad bc it's gloomy and foggy here in Hungary....also -2°C (don't know in F sry) AND no palm trees...no palm trees☹ none 😭 just random trees without leaves😔 don't get me wrong, I love autumn weather it's perfect for running but today's is miserable and more like winter now.🥶

[@spencerhampton992]

The only time I get "runners high" is right before I start, or after I finish tbh. The feeling doesn't seem to be all that specific to running, but maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

[@alexandreiTF]

Such a great video! Love that I found your channel man--always love to see what other running creators are up to. It reminds me of Casey Neistat's short film he did for Nike back in the day called mind games, check it out if you haven't seen it!

[@Ryan-pm1hp]

I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a runners high but the farthest I’ve ever ran is 10 miles so idk if I haven’t gone far enough yet or what.

[@-YUGDEEPGAUTAM]

I once got runners high it was a totally different experience ever before because i just thought it was a myth but it happens one day after 65 min running i was listening to an Indian song and suddenly it was like i was running in the forest i can't forget that day my body was free like air I was running like a tiger i can smell the fragrance also but it last for 1 min only

[@DinosaurrsAreDead]

Hey! Idk if you usually listen to music on your runs but it's quite literally half the equation when I experience runners high. I'm running with no music? No runner's high. I wanted to suggest something that helped me (although of course everyone is different). Songs with a super high bpm and a lot of intensity (everything EDM, a lot of rap, metal, etc) are the ones that push me over the edge into runners high. So I start with songs that have a slower bpm (but will still hype me up) and run at a slower pace that matches its rhythym. I do this for a couple songs as a warm up. Then I'll have a song or two queued up that has a significantly faster bpm and when it starts playing, I increase my speed to match it. This 100% of the time absolutely sends me into the multiverse, it's an unreal euphoria. Often like you described - a tiger running in the wild! If it's techno and the base drops, the bpm will pick up and I force myself to increase my pace to match it. It's like runner's high with a side helping of... more runner's high lol And the main reason I'm commenting is you said it lasted for about a minute? What helped me keep it going was to change the song to a slower bpm and slow my speed to stay in tune. Then I just repeat the warm-up which lets my body calm down and then repeat step #2. Keep rinsing and repeating until you're done! I hope you find what works for you! Happy experimenting :)

[@complxhellasfreeproducts4894]

Well I got it twice and it felt like I was alive fot the first time and completely control of my mind

[@erickhan6349]

hoping to get 15 in tomorrow even if its slow like 6:30 pace

apparently you have to run more than 20 feet to get the high

[@charlieblower365]

Believe it or not, this might be the most important post you'll read Everyone of us has broken God's moral law, the Ten Commandments. We have all lied, stolen, hated and lusted. And James 2:10 states that breaking one of the Commandments makes us guilty of breaking them all. Problem is, we can never outweigh our sins through good works because the Creator is perfect in Holiness, meaning His standard is far above ours. And He is also perfect in Justice, meaning not a single sin will go unpunished. And the punishment of sin is being cast into hell, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth with no end. Ever. Fortunately, God is also perfect in love, so 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ left His throne in Heaven and came to this earth as a man. He lived a perfect, sinless life and He so loved us, that He took the punishment of our sin, when He suffered horribly on the cross. Isaiah 53 tells us that his face was marred beyond recognition and that he suffered more than any man. But right before His death, Jesus said "It is finished" meaning the the debt for our sins was paid in full. But on the 3rd day, Jesus conquered death and He was resurrected. So that means now, we can go free from the wrath of God's judgment not by earning it, but rather as a free gift of grace, if you accept Jesus. But, a gift can either accepted or rejected. So if you want to accept the free gift or forgiveness, of grace, and of salvation, this is what you should do: Humbly admit to God that you have sinned against Him, and through gratitude in the sacrifice of His Son, repent (turn away) from your old sinful ways. Then, confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, your Savior. Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross, was buried, and was resurrected 3 days later. Roman's 10:9 and 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 says that if you do this you are saved. I'm not telling you to get religious, because Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship with God. And the moment you do this, God will grant you a new heart, which does not take pleasure in sin and He will give you eternal life. Nothing on this earth even close to compares to what awaits believers. What you do with this information will determine where you will be for Eternity; meaning accepting Christ is the single most important decision you'll EVER make. And all of us here, believer or atheist, know that this is very true. Jesus Christ wants YOU to come to Him this very moment; don't even think about sleeping until you have accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, because your tomorrow isn't guaranteed. You could die at any moment. Hebrews 9: 27 "It is appointed unto man once to die, but after this, the Judgment." All praise and honor to Jesus Christ, King of kings, Lord of lords.
