It really depends on how much I'm enjoying my run, how much I've ran in the past week or so, and what the weather is like. No runner's high happens when I'm dealing with swamp ass two minutes into the run (so, basically the entire summer). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-minutes-of-running-does-it-take-for-you-to-hit-a-runners-high#post-1649840 Wed, 21 May 2014 15:21:33 +0000 HLK208 1649840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first 20 minutes are the hardest and then I get in a groove but I wouldn't call it a "high" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-minutes-of-running-does-it-take-for-you-to-hit-a-runners-high#post-1649834 Wed, 21 May 2014 15:19:29 +0000 mlm2934 1649834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After the 3mi mark </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-minutes-of-running-does-it-take-for-you-to-hit-a-runners-high#post-1649829 Wed, 21 May 2014 15:18:04 +0000 blackbird 1649829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never get this in running, only in other stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-minutes-of-running-does-it-take-for-you-to-hit-a-runners-high#post-1649817 Wed, 21 May 2014 15:14:43 +0000 MrsKRB 1649817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few times and they have always been after 6 or 7 miles - it makes me keep running every day so that I am chasing that high! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-minutes-of-running-does-it-take-for-you-to-hit-a-runners-high#post-1649657 Wed, 21 May 2014 14:31:47 +0000 chibee 1649657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only really happened once, I'm not exactly a distance runner - I pushed myself to 6 miles, then got this burst of energy and was able to go 2.5 more! i've never gone past 8.5 miles of running though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-minutes-of-running-does-it-take-for-you-to-hit-a-runners-high#post-1649498 Wed, 21 May 2014 13:43:04 +0000 LBee 1649498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Hmm...

Any time I ran 6 miles or more I felt on top of the world for the day. For me, the high comes more from the achievement of a distances that the average joe doesn't go out and run. That said, it's been a long, long, long time since I've run far enough to even hope for a "high." :) </p>
