Fact #1

Endurance runners experience a surge of endorphins that mask the pain and also cause a euphoric feeling. That euphoria is known as runner's high.
Fact #4
In fact, the purpose behind endorphins is to make you unaware of the pain caused during running. That is why you might not be aware of minor injuries that are caused during running.
Fact #5
Along with endorphins, another substance known as endocannabinoids is also released. This substance is the main cause of the runner's high.
