If you\u2019ve ever considered taking up the endurance-building, individualized exercise,&nbsp;you might start to feel frustrated when it feels like all work and no visible&nbsp;benefit (other than carb-loading the night before). But don&#8217;t give up. That runner&#8217;s high is in sight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve heard about it, but what is that infamous runner&#8217;s high, and how do you get there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can thank a giant boost of&nbsp;endorphins for that euphoric feeling you get&nbsp;somewhere during or after a&nbsp;run. While timing is different for everyone, anyone can achieve the&nbsp;high that comes from really pushing yourself. But if you&#8217;ve yet to experience it along your running path, hold on tight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a runner&#8217;s high?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>A runner&#8217;s high is the name of a feeling that runner&#8217;s typically experience during or after a run. This feeling &#8211; often described as a feeling of elation or euphoria &#8211; is caused by the endorphins released in the brain. This massive endorphin rush activates the part of your brain that releases dopamine, a feel-good chemical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of the dopamine and endorphin release is what causes a runner&#8217;s high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"793\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.classpass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/What-Does-a-Runners-High-Feel-Like-ClassPass-1200x793.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/What-Does-a-Runners-High-Feel-Like-ClassPass-1200x793.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/classpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/What-Does-a-Runners-High-Feel-Like-ClassPass-600x397.jpg 600w, https:\/\/classpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/What-Does-a-Runners-High-Feel-Like-ClassPass-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/What-Does-a-Runners-High-Feel-Like-ClassPass-1536x1015.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/classpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/What-Does-a-Runners-High-Feel-Like-ClassPass-2048x1354.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does a runner&#8217;s high feel like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A runner&#8217;s high typically feels like an overwhelming sense of euphoria. It can also include a sense of optimism, a sense of achievement or increased confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Runner&#8217;s high examples, from real runners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We spoke with 10 runners to get their take on what a runner&#8217;s high feels like. They told us when they feel the runner&#8217;s high and what it&#8217;s like for each of them. These stories will inspire you and help you discover how to achieve the ultimate runner&#8217;s high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Matt from New York City, NY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Average pace per mile:<\/b> 8:15 mph<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Races completed: <\/b>1 marathon, 3 half-marathons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How long it takes to get the runner\u2019s high: <\/b>It&#8217;s really run-specific for me. Lately, during my training, it&#8217;s occurring at random times throughout my runs where I remember the feeling of achievement of past runs. This past weekend, I was at mile 7 of 10 as I remembered the success of running the NYC marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>What it\u2019s like:<\/b> It&#8217;s an endorphin rush of accomplishment. It&#8217;s the moment where the pain of training transitions to a euphoria. Sometimes it&#8217;s brief, sometimes it lasts for a mile or two, but it&#8217;s the best part of the run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carri from Marietta, GA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Average pace per mile<\/b>: 9-9:30 mph<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Races completed: <\/b>10 half-marathons, 4 marathons and training for another one<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How long it takes to get the runner\u2019s high:<\/b> Six miles<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>What it\u2019s like: <\/b>There\u2019s something magical about the six-mile mark for me. Whether I\u2019m running 10 miles or 18, something kicks in at mile six. &nbsp;I relax, stop thinking (or obsessing) about every little thing going on in my life as a mom of three. I start to feel the rhythm of the run, my heartbeat, shoes on the pavement, and the music or podcast in my ears. I don&#8217;t believe in &#8220;easy'&#8221; miles. Every mile is tough, every mile is earned. But after six, something clicks and I&#8217;m in that happy place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jennifer from Portland, OR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Average pace per mile:<\/b> 8:30 mph<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Races completed: <\/b>1<b>&nbsp;<\/b>ultramarathon, 3 marathons, 1 Olympic distance triathlon, 2 spring triathlons and too-many-to-count half-marathons, 10Ks and 5Ks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How long it took to get the runner&#8217;s high:<\/b> It took a whole season of track in high school to finally find my first runner&#8217;s high. I started as a sprinter, which didn&#8217;t go well, but as soon as I switched to the longer&nbsp;distances and got acclimated to the mileage, I had moments and runs where it felt amazing! Even now when I&#8217;m training, that feeling comes and goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>What it\u2019s like:<\/b> A feeling of complete effortlessness. You&#8217;re in your groove, and it&#8217;s almost easier to keep running rather than stop. I forget about my body and any discomfort disappears because I&#8217;m totally in my head, lost in my thoughts. It&#8217;s almost an out-of-body experience, and the closest I&#8217;ve come to it is in meditation class. You&#8217;re aware of what&#8217;s going on around you, but so present, so in the moment, that&nbsp;you&#8217;re just appreciating everything surrounding you and hoping it&#8217;ll last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carissa from Honolulu, HI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Average pace per mile: <\/b>8:30 mph<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Races completed:&nbsp;<\/b>3 half-marathons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How long it takes to get the runner\u2019s high:<\/b> In a shorter race, I get the runner\u2019s high after the race is completed. In longer races, like half-marathons, I get the runner\u2019s high about halfway through when I find my groove and can enjoy the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>What it\u2019s like:<\/b> Prior to moving to Hawaii, I disliked running quite a bit. Being from Boston, I couldn\u2019t stand the idea of running and training outside in the cold, and racing was not introduced to me until I left the Northeast. The appeal of running came when I moved to Hawaii and had the gorgeous landscapes of ocean, mountains and the availability of trail running. I have butterflies at the beginning of every race, and in the first few miles I struggle with setting my pace. Once I find my rhythm, I feel an overwhelming sense of energy, strength, power and accomplishment. I feel as though I can run forever with the Hawaiian setting, my favorite playlist and a tremendous sense of happiness. That\u2019s a runner\u2019s high to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jen from Boston, MA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Average pace per mile: <\/b>For me, it really depends on distance, but on my usual daily runs of around 4-5 miles, I stay at 9 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Races completed: <\/b>1 marathon and&nbsp;5&nbsp;half-marathons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How long it takes to get the runner\u2019s high: <\/b>It takes me about 25 minutes of continuous running to start feeling the effects of the runner\u2019s high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>What it\u2019s like: <\/b>It\u2019s that euphoric feeling where my mind is all of a sudden significantly clearer. I feel a lot lighter emotionally &#8212; all of my worries and anxieties start to subside &#8212; and I feel instantly lighter on a physical level. It\u2019s almost like feeling sluggish and gross, and then hitting a giant reset button. All my problems are fixed (at least until the next run!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jennifer from San Diego, CA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Average pace per mile: <\/b>9-10 mph<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Races completed:&nbsp;<\/b>12 marathons and 1 Ironman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How long it takes to get the runner\u2019s high:<\/b> It takes me about 40 minutes to start to get a runner&#8217;s high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>What it\u2019s like: <\/b>I have more energy after running than I do when I start. I come home from half-marathons with more energy, and it\u2019s almost like I&#8217;m hyped on caffeine. I run all my errands, clean my house and can barely relax (in a good way!). It doesn&#8217;t make sense that after running 13.1 miles, I feel so alive. Marathons are harder and I&#8217;m usually so sore, but I keep my running high until around mile 20 and then it&#8217;s all endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">David from New York City, NY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Average pace per mile:<\/b> 7 mph<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Races completed:<\/b>&nbsp;1 marathon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How long it takes to get the runner\u2019s high:<\/b> Usually between 50-60 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>What it\u2019s like:<\/b> To me, it invoked a feeling that made one feel limitless. I&#8217;d come to a point where I would no longer put a focus on my tempo of breathing or think about how fast I was going. Natural elements, like temperature or terrain, no longer felt like factors that would prevent you from continuing on your run. It&#8217;s a powerful feeling that can make time move faster, yet also stand still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emma from Nashville, TN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Average pace per mile: <\/b>9:30 mph<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Races completed:<\/b>&nbsp;2 half-marathons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How long it takes to get the runner\u2019s high:<\/b> It takes until about the third mile for me. Sometimes, a quick two-mile run will be harder than a 10-mile run, since I never actually reach the point of clear-headedness and focus. Once I get in my groove by mile three, it seems like time (and the miles) slip away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>What it\u2019s like:<\/b> It took me until I was 23 and in really good physical shape to get into running. I\u2019m a teacher, so I started working out regularly with a group of women at my school. One day, I had a terrible day at work and no one could work out with me, so I went for a run. It cleared my head completely, and after that, I couldn&#8217;t get enough of running. It&#8217;s been two years now of consistent running, and almost every run I go on, I have a clear mind and extreme energy. I feel empowered and strong, and I know that&#8217;s my runner&#8217;s high &#8212; that feeling that I am driven, in control, energetic and making my body and mind stronger with each step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Christina from New York City, NY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Average pace per mile: <\/b>Around 5.5 mph<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Races completed: <\/b>2&nbsp;half-marathons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How long it takes to get the runner\u2019s high: <\/b>As soon as the run is over I start feeling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>What it\u2019s like:<\/b> Before a run, I\u2019m typically dreading the physical challenge before me and honestly can\u2019t wait until it\u2019s over. But after any run &#8212; whether it\u2019s 10 minutes or three hours &#8212; I feel incredibly energetic and optimistic. After my last half-marathon, which involved training in the snow, my running partners and I immediately disregarded all complaints and decided we wanted to sign up for another race. Running, more so than any other workout I do, makes me feel really accomplished, since it\u2019s only you and your mind once you start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Susan from Swampscott, MA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Average pace per mile: <\/b>8 mph<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Races completed:&nbsp;<\/b>15 half-marathons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How long it takes to get the runner\u2019s high:<\/b> I usually begin to feel great at mile three. If I&#8217;m really turning up the heat, it gets more difficult but also more satisfying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>What it\u2019s like:<\/b> Running for me is what I like to call my &#8220;drug of choice.&#8221; It offers me great euphoria and a pleasant feeling of accomplishment that motivates me throughout my day. On the days that I cannot get my run in early, I become tired and cranky, often leading to somewhat of a withdrawal feeling. I usually get a solid run in at some point during the day, as it\u2019s truly become somewhat of an obsession because I\u2019m addicted to the change in mood I get&nbsp;from completing my run. It\u2019s the one thing I can honestly say that I do solely for myself, however, my family members also benefit because I am easier to live with once I have gotten my run in that day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fact: Running can be addicting &#8212; in the best kind of way.
