Abstract

Runner’s high is an intense boost of happiness and pleasure following a prolonged
period of exercise. During this experience, some people may also feel a reduction in levels of
pain and stress. Depending on the person, the experience of runner’s high may occur 30
minutes into exercise or not until an hour after starting. This time frame is likely dependent on
how regularly a person runs and their level of endurance. Although people typically associate
the feeling with running, many other forms of aerobic exercise, such as cycling, swimming,
and rowing, may offer a similar sensation. The runner’s high is a curious aspect to study. By
definition, it is possibly not going to give any Knowledgeable results in research centres
circumstances (like running on a treadmill), where one had some control over various factors
like climate, landscape, speed, etc.
