I don’t understand what the endorphin rush is. Everyone talks about it as if it’s a known thing but they never explain it. I’ve been going to the gym for around three months now and all I ever get is exhausted and weak, like my body is made of overcooked spaghetti, afterwards. What should I do to get this rush?

Your results may vary but when I trained for a marathon, I had only received what I would consider an endorphin rush or a runner’s high only a handful of times and only on long runs that were 8+ miles.
After any workout, I do get an elevated and feel good feeling, but for me a runner’s higher just seemed to happen on very rare chance. I didn’t even get one during my marathon which was the longest i’ve ever ran. I would get them on a random Tuesday out of nowhere.
But when it happened, I definitely know because I felt like I could run forever. I could be exhausted and then something changes in my body and I feel euphoric. I feel like i’m running on clouds, i stop feeling tired and I feel like I could literally run forever. It literally does feel like getting high of weed because it feels like a daydream.
