Who else gets the C25K crazy smiles/rush of happiness on their run?

[Traceyanne83]

Hi y'all So I've found that half way through my runs I start smiling and then just can't stop for a while!!  It's like running triggers my brain to releases a dose of smiling like a crazy person halfway lol

Oh yes... with you there... and the good thing is.. it does not go away

[bebabeba Graduate]

I've never smiled but i have burst into tears of joy when completing a run!

[jt24 Graduate]

Lucky you

Half way through a run I often have B!t#h face grimace lol!!

I smile at the end though

Glad to hear you're enjoying it, it helps xx

Love it !! Yes  , I  always have a smile at the end, I dread to think what my face  looks  like during a run to be honest ha ha

Lovely happy post Traceyanne , keep going and keep smiling ! xxx

Think I'm too busy gritting my teeth to smile. I am happy after my runs though and generally I feel more positive and enthusiastic about life. You keep smiling

[Curlygurly2 Graduate]

Yes! Often when a song I like comes on, but sometimes it's just when I think "I'm running! Me!" Still can't quite believe I can...

[poppypug Graduate]

Ha ha ! I feel exactly the same Curly ! Its mad isn't it ? xxx

Doesn't happen to me when running, but around 20 to 30 minutes afterwards, I get a wave of some kind of hormone, which feels fab. Anyone know what that is?

It's a real actual thing - running makes you high woo hoo

I've been known to giggle at the end of the run. People must wonder about my sanity.
