[@brianwales1268]

I love it on a cool day in fall and running a decently fast 5 mile on shady hilly terrain. I forget that I’m running and just enjoy life.

[@stephleger]

this is the best video I've seen describing the feeling! I've been running for the past year and always get my most creative/philosophical ideas during that "runners high". sometimes I'll go on runs when I know I have stuff like that to figure out/plan out hahaha. it's so strange! but I love it. great video!! :) keep it up.

[@elischrag8436]

Whenever i dont feel like running i give this a watch for motivation.

[@johnhager6146]

Great video, completely relatable. I feel like you truly encaptured the running high experience and the race for the high.

[@joshuaashford9012]

Cicirunner this is the best video and most motivational you ever made!!!! Awesome!!

[@Sejfullah13]

yeah you've summed it up pretty much from all angles. that is exactly how I feel it too

[@jonnyy4088]

This is a tremendous video,Cici!

[@andrukthegreat]

MAn this video was purely amazing !! the cnematic. images are great . You gave me goose bumps. Bravo sir. great movie. I am going to watch it one more time.

[@johnporterfield7082]

"If running is a colt than pass me the koolaid" well said I'll keep that in mind.

[@castro0077]

Best 7 minutes of my day 🙌🏽

[@heimi59]

this is legit one of the best yt videos i’ve ever seen.

[@Humannn8ss8]

Cold drizzy night when no one is around and it’s just u high af

[@michaeleverson9465]

Thanks for this video. You're speaking to my soul. 🏃‍♂️

[@kimfesta4337]

Oh yes we missed these voiceovers 🔥🔥🔥

[@shivanathmahalingam3466]

This video deserves more attention!

[@wesolit6781]

When I do an intense ab workout I tend to get high it feels painful because you're doing a hard workout and the abs hurt but at the same time it is absolutely euphoric and you wanna push more and more even though your muscles hurt u just wanna exert them more and more I feel it around the front of my brain extremely pleasant tickling sensation and it's basically like a drug. To me it is always very short but my ab workouts are 8 minutes at most so that makes sense. It's literally as good as a drug, it's not some weak bs it's legit!

[@gamerchristina1079]

I LOVED IT! GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 👍👍❤️❤️‼️

[@jammer499]

And that’s why we run folks! Well said Mr Gregory!!!👊🏼

[@rahulbarca4112]

Awesome vid mate...!!! Nicely explained

[@elihart1931]

Let’s coming back with a banger great job!!

[@RunningOtaku]

Great video Cici- that was DOPeAMINE 😉

[@JantzenC.13]

Marijuana helps you achieve this while being sedentary and lazy. Running is truly natural and primal. But to me they are the exact same high.

[@runsintheforrest1364]

These kind of motivational videos are your best.

[@cicirunner]

Thanks a lot. I have another script all ready but no running footage to go with it yet.

[@shaynefrancischristineeckh244]

Pure brilliance!!

[@shayneknox6247]

Get out of my head! You put words to something I could not explain until now.

[@brandonwu6721]

I've played soccer/football for 5 hrs straight, and that's when I felt my first runners high. (Like time slowed down/or just my perception of it) Now just chasing for that runners high.

[@jaypan888]

Spot on! I felt understood and got emotional for some reason. Weird. Time for LED.

[@supermanlol5865]

I've had one 7 years ago and am still going

[@mitchellmclaughlin6360]

With the public it’s a catch 22. Running would make everyone happier, less anxious, less stressed, if they got into the habit of doing it, but to get into the habit of doing it they have to do it unwillingly for a while.

[@cicirunner]

Exactly! Most people never push past the threshold of suck.

[@cowboyfunktion]

The KZbin running OG is back!

[@JamesGoodrich7]

You are like 4/5 hours north of me. I want to make a trip up to run with you. Awesome video man!

[@cicirunner]

Hell yeah

[@Mrdchf]

Yup, happens during my run. I’m all tired during the first half and then all of a sudden I feel like I’m not running any more. Just moving and everything feels good.

[@redoinslimani8424]

I run and bike but running is by far the best. This video is poetry + great footage. Still dre as in OG :)))

[@ertsekpal7579]

Wonderful ❤️

[@lachlanhull8438]

i like the floating part

[@MrCleverOnion]

I'm a big guy and pretty out of shape but I've gotten a sliver of runners high from jumping rope

[@camtonyray666]

Saying some people are lazy is judgmental even if it were true, which it isn't. Some people understand a little too much about the nature of the world and life and this is their problem. They give up before they even try. This is because telling someone to do something or what to do is akin to telling them to forget what they know, and sometimes it will work if they are in pain enough or are suffering to the point where they no longer care, but the fact of the matter is that more often than not, they will not and they will trust their own instincts and judgements which at the end of the day will make someone happier in their misery. Which I have noticed, to be candidly frank about this, that those with a can-do attitude will always require some external sense of progress or distraction to meet their hollow personalities and lacking creativity, which isn't the case with the unbound and structureless. There's pros and cons of each, fortunately and unfortunately.

[@dr.merlot1532]

Grats on passing the NYC qualifying time.

[@vidyasagarkamble4462]

Where’s part1? Can anyone help me with the link..

[@ertsekpal7579]

I only achived runners high 5-6times during 2-3years of running. Mostly its for keepin me ín shape so As a duty it has a weight. When I let IT go and forget to count, checking my clock it happened like a mental state of freedom, meditation. You rly have to forget your limitation and just running 🙃

[@themanwhoknewtoomuch6667]

I find it if you run too much you don't get high as often. But I haven't tried long distance running yet. I can take one week break and 20 minutes of run will get to me exosphere on rocket!! (Remember what is essentially happening is when you are on fight or flight mode... after you stop running you essentially get the euphoria. But if you do it too often then your body is like... "I don't believe you" "I am not in danger now" "How can I be danger everyday..." ... predictable. Basically the gazelle that stops running after outrunning lion feels the high after stopping. This is why when I see it common for people who run it everyday for years only report it very few times as their body/mind got resistant to it just like any othe drug...

[@themanwhoknewtoomuch6667]

For instance, I once walked 12+ miles to beach and felt NOTHING. But after 2-5 days break.. evne if I run for 20 minutes, I feel explosive. Sometimes less is more....

[@NART211]

This video has no business being that good.

[@cicirunner]

I don't know what your comment means

[@NART211]

@@cicirunner it means, you did an unbelievably outstanding job :) great video and words, man!

[@musclelessfitness2045]

Nicely done !! I told you, you have an ease @ speaking effortlessly, so don't be lazy and keep making videos (That's what I tell myself as well lol) I'm sure it only takes you 30min - 1h to make and publish one.

[@cicirunner]

Writing the script takes a long time

[@jonnyy4088]

Might be my imagination but the more fat I lose,the better my knees feel.I've gone carnivore and am certain I can stick with it so will lose the weight and please God,the inflammation.I'd rather go on one good run than 50 bike rides!

[@dr.merlot1532]

I hope to Pr in the half this month

[@lachlanhull8438]

great video, my high makes me feel unbeatable :)

[@cicirunner]

I wish I got it more in races and not just training runs!

[@raphaelmiranda9688]

Accurate

[@SaraLovesYouNC]

Word!!

[@cam-lg2xy]

Runners high for me feels like I’m a dog playing fetch. I’m panting, my eyes feel huge but I feel no pain and I just want to keep going.

[@cicirunner]

I like that description

[@pattil05]

I stated running and felt better and better but could not really understand how?unless i came across to this term The Runners high......

[@hcronos]

Fucking poetry bro

[@cicirunner]

Thanks a lot

[@brandon0269]

👍 very nice!!!!

[@reveille4]

If Tyler Durden made a running motivation video...

[@cicirunner]

Are you saying I have split personalities?

[@prozeeterps]

try hashish and running

[@IBRAHIMATHIAM124]

Any night runners ? Lol

[@cicirunner]

Running at night is great for sure. I always feel faster at night even if I'm not, in actuality.

[@kitkatkatty1363]

Maybe I’d be in a better mood if I ran more 😂 fuckkk.

[@cicirunner]

Definitely!

[@shibbyfries6914]

i used to love running but then something happened, i filled my life with unnecessary habits and became lazy. one day....

[@cicirunner]

Never too late to get back into it

[@dr.merlot1532]

You are an unapproachable person. Because you run so much faster than everyone else.

[@lordthetir]

We are all sinners and deserve hell there is no one without sin save for Jesus Christ who died on the cross for you and it is only by placing your true faith and trust in Christ that you can be saved from eternity in hell. Turn to Christ the end times are here the moon is rusting turning red, days are going by quickly, pandemics are here and famine is coming both spiritual and physical! Turn to the Lord And Savior Jesus Christ!
