Fun fact: if you run long enough—like a full 5k without stopping—your brain can hit a point of exhaustion where it actually releases pent-up emotions. That’s why running is so good for your mental health. It kind of resets your brain.

Runners high is before it’s like a euphoric feeling like your legs are moving but you don’t feel it you’re just vibing to your music
