Most of us have heard the term "runner's high"...a term used for that euphoric state which is experienced by many runners during a prolonged run. Some people have described it as an "orgasmic" feeling. Others compare it to the way getting high on drugs might feel. Some athletes have said that, when they reach this state, they feel invincible and happy. They feel capable of superior performance. The problem with describing a runner's high, however, lies in the fact that a "high" is a matter of perception.
