The runners high can be a myth. Most persons say it truly is formed by endorphins that are released when the entire body reaches an exhaustive state. Mentally this high feeling is filled with feelings of euphoria and an intense pleasurable sensation. Most people equate this to having an orgasm during sex

The runners high seriously isn’t an objective feeling, meaning this state cannot be achieved by any objective method. For most runners it is truly a hit and mss situation and that is why I write this article. I think this high state may be accomplished by using a set of tools

The runner’s high is achieved when you forget yourself, if you have ever achieved this state you will note that it is never noticed until it has passed. It is a bit like driving car when you are tired. You remember that you moved from destination A to B but you remember after the fact. You do not know how you drive, made the right lane changes and how you got to your destination. You drove but there was no driver

This applies to the runners high. You only know you had a runners’ high immediately after the run and never during the run. The reason for the runners high is due to the absence of the ego or intellect.

So to get this state you need to find ways to forget the ego. There is a contradiction in itself because the very act of forgetting the ego needs an ego. There has to be a forgetter who wants to forget.

So you need to find ways to make the ego weak. And this is done by becoming aware during a run. If you become aware you will forget the mind. Involving all the senses when you run will take out the mind and the runner’s high can be achieved

A good way to do this is to focus on the sky, looking at a limitless sky will involve the senses and take your mind away. Do not focus on the clouds or on an object in the sky, just look through and into the sky using all your senses. If you do this the central observer the mind will be taken out and you will be able to achieve the high that runners are so desperate to achieve

The other common solution and answer is to meditate but once again meditation is usually a poor way of achieving the runner’s high since it involves the use of an ego to meditate
