Runner's High

Interesting article about runner's high.
New theory is that it's not endorphins but instead endocannabinoid molecules that, you guessed it, cannabis replicate pretty well.

I got a really good runner's high last week after the 10x100m full speed workout. I got it a bit yesterday after my 8x200m workout (to be recapped once my week is done) but certainly not as much. The 200s were more painful and tougher, and I'm sure that played a part in muting my post-workout euphoria.
