The runners high is a myth. Most persons say it is formed and experienced because of endorphins that are released when the system reaches an exhaustive state of being. Mentally this great feeling and state is filled with feelings of euphoria and an intense pleasurable sensation. Most people equate this to sex and obtaining an orgasm during sex.

The runners high is not an objective feeling, meaning this state canopy be achieved with precision. It is hit and mss and that is why I write. I believe this state can be achieved with 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

With this running state or runners high the same principles apply. You only know you had a runners’ high after the fact or state has passed and not during. The reason this is so is that during the state of the high there is no ego present.

So to have this state it is advisable to use methods that tend to quite and weaken the ego. There is certainly a contradiction in wanting to achieve the runners high. This is because the mere wanting of the runners high solidifies the ego.

So it is advisable to discover methods to make the ego weak and non existent. And this really is carried out by becoming mentally aware during a run. In case you become mentally aware you will forget yourself, the ego and your mind, when you involve all of the senses when you run you will bring out the runners high at will without even trying

A superb way to try and do it is to concentrate on the sky; glazing or staring at a limitless sky will involve the senses and bring your mind to a weak point where it will temporarily cease to exist. you must make sure that you do not focus on the clouds or on an object inside sky, just look deep in and through the clouds with no goal in mind , make use of all of your senses when you stare at the sky. When you do this the central observer with its thoughts and the mind will likely be taken out and you will be ready to achieve the runners high which so many people are so desperate to achieve

The other common solution is to meditate but again meditation is a poor way of achieving the high as it involves the use of meditator or ego to meditate
