Runners enjoy a different kind of mental state after running for long distances. When researchers studied the brain chemistry of runners, they discovered several astonishing facts.

Fact #1

Fact #4

Fact #5
Along with endorphins, another substance known as endocannabinoids is also released. This substance is the main cause of the runner's high.
