Burst of happiness

I was always sceptical of the runners high. But I only just finished run 1 week 3 moving up the 3 minute runs and daresay after the first 3 minute run I felt giddy. Don’t know if it’s being proud I ran three mins or a release of the happy chemicals but it was a nice feeling!

What a lovely post to read! Think it's the happy chemicals doing their thing and making you proud ~ and rightly so 😊 Enjoy the buzz, you're doing great! 🙌

I’ve been feeling happier in general since starting the programme 5 weeks ago. I’ve gone from being a running hater to being totally hooked, and the feeling after achieving each new goal is euphoric! ❤️
