Another running hater here. The only running I enjoy is sprints.
Otherwise, I'll choose anything over running.
How can you hate running?! It's the purest form of sport!Otherwise, I'll choose anything over running.
Running as fast as you can for as long as you can, you learn so much about yourself, motivations and how determined you actually are. Answers all questions.
I've never experienced what you're describing when running.
I have experienced it up the mountains and climbing, for example, even cycling.
Running tho? Not so much.

Same here. It feels uncomfortable. That’s about it. And it has always made my feet and joints hurt, irrespective of how much I weigh. I've never experienced what you're describing when running.

I certainly don't get the same sensation when cycling. It's all about elevating your mental capacity so that you are in a zone which feels out-of-body, like a higher version of yourself.I've never experienced what you're describing when running.

Your just concentrated on the task in hand which is getting to the next mile marker or landmark because it will become easier (!). It never does of course and you just keep ploughing on.
It's a mix of adrenaline, ego, high blood pressure and being in the zone. You can feel the body becoming alive.
...gosh...I really do miss running!!

The runner's high is fantastic. I remember the feeling of calm and mental clarity lasted for many hours after a run. Endorphins are great after weights, but the clarity and calm isn't there. Running is freedom in a way no other training can be...I used to feel like I was flying at times 
However no other sport results in so many injuries and so much exhaustion IMO.popeyewhite said:

I've forgotten the exact mechanism but neurotransmitters such as endocannabinoids are released (endorphins don't cross the blood/brain barrier).Prof Prolapse said:
Endorphins are made in the brain.
They're made in the pituitary gland mainly, then released in the body. The release of endorphins stimulates the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine (endocannabinoid), which crosses the blood/brain barrier, and results in the primary feeling of mental well-being after a run.

Chickling at all you lucky folks that get any sense of a 'high' from exercise.
Bloody nothing over here. It's just a task to be completed for body maintenance. I WISH it made me feel good during or after!
Pick something you enjoy! More to lifting than just going to a gym- bodybuilding, strongman, crossfit, OL, powerlifting.... and that’s just for weights.Bloody nothing over here. It's just a task to be completed for body maintenance. I WISH it made me feel good during or after!
Do it with purpose, and you’ll want to do it, because you have an aim.

The one sport that really me zone (or zen?!) out, is rock climbing, and in particular, dry tooling - and that's nothing like running or weight-based training.
