Bliss and contentment

[Dyskadores]

Anyone else experience what I can only describe as oneness with the universe and a rush of emotions in the middle of a run? It's happened twice now but only when I'm right in the middle and I've cried a few happy tears. Maybe running helps to shift emotions as well as wobbly thighs? 😄

Yes! I’m in Week 6 now and generally have at least 1 moment each run when I feel fantastically happy. It’s actually what’s kept me going with the programme because, before I started C25k, I never thought I’d actually enjoy running. It’s endorphins I’m guessing? Whatevs, enjoy! 😄

There was an item on this very thing on the last Michael Moseley tv prog ‘The truth about getting fit’. It was quite near the end and examined the science behind similar reported feelings. I’m hoping to feel it soon!

Yes, it kicks in for me around the 12 minute mark! By the end I feel so blissed out and relaxed it's lovely 😄
