Runner’s High 🏃‍♀️🏃 Popular culture identifies endorphins as the chemicals behind “runner’s high,” a short-lasting, deeply euphoric state following intense exercise. Endorphins help prevent muscles from feeling pain but it is unlikely that endorphins in the blood contribute to a euphoric feeling, or any mood change at all. That relaxed post-run feeling may instead be due to endocannabinoids and this state is reached much faster by taking CBD before running, is more intense and lasts longer than a runner’s high without the support of CBD. Join us every Wednesday in Battersea Park for a 5km at 6:30pm for your weekly dose of runners high. All abilities welcomed and catered for!
