Runner's High

Have you ever run around a lot and felt super happy and strong? That's called runner's high! It's like a special superpower that can happen when you move your body a lot, like running for a long time or playing a super fun game. It makes you feel really good, like you could run forever! It can also make ouchies feel less ouchy for a little while.

People have noticed this happy feeling for a long, long time! They first called it 'runner's high' because runners felt it after running far. But guess what? People who row boats can get it too, so sometimes it's called 'rower's high'! It's not something everyone gets, but when you do, it feels pretty awesome.

Runner's high is cool because it makes you feel super happy and brave! It's like your body is giving you a big high-five for all your hard work. It can help you forget about feeling tired or a little bit worried. It's a special reward your body gives you for being active and strong.

Not everyone gets to feel runner's high, and that's okay! It's like a special surprise. Some people might feel it when they run for a really long time, like running all the way around a big park. Others might feel it after a super fast sprint, like when you race your friends. It's a rare and wonderful feeling!
