Something that actually exists. After strenuous exercise endorphines are released creating a "high" feeling. Its not the same as a marijuana type high. Its more of a lightheaded feeling and you cant feel your body alowwing you to run even further. You wont get it if you run 5 minutes. Most feel the effect after 30-40 minutes of hard running.
Joe: Dude runner's high doesnt exist.
Bob: Thats because you only run a lap then give up you fucking pussy.
Joe: well how long do you have to run?
Bob: about half an hour.
Joe: fuck that.
exercise isnt for everyone.

Long, exasperated pause.
runner: Ummm... Runners High.
non-runner: Ahh... I see

A supposed "high" attained by release of endorphins during and after high amounts of aerobic activity. Possibly developed in the 1960's as a way to get the drug addicts of the class to exercise. Current research indicates no high is ever achieved via this method, and so can efficiently labeled "Bullshit".

Me: You're an idiot. Go take some LSD.
Fred(tripping): OH MY GOD!!!! THE COLORS ARE TALKING TO ME!!!!
