How to Relax During a Run and Get the Runners High
Most runner's, run mechanically which means that they run unconsciously.
A typical run would begin as follows, at 5 am the alarm goes off and you get off bed, refresh yourself and you are off to a run.
The first few minutes are a drag and you want to go back to bed.
After the ten minute mark you find a rhythm and after that the run becomes easier.

But if you will notice the runners high is almost impossible to achieve in this scenario, if it happens it happen buy chance.
The reason for this is that you run has become mechanical What do I mean by mechanical? Well it means you run unconsciously.
You get up and run and the mind does the running.
You are not conscious of your run and this makes the mind stronger, the ego more present and as a result you are unlikely to get the runners high To make matters worse when you run you run fragmented, you run with your work, with your wife and her problems, you run with your day to day problems,.
With your hopes and desires.
Is there any wonder that you can't run at peace? To ensure you run as a whole you have to become aware of your run.
If you become fully aware of your run and your running you will forget the runners or the mind and ego! So how does one become aware when running? Watch yourself run, become aware of the way your foot touches the ground, become aware of your breathing, become aware of the scenery, become aware of your senses, involve all the senses and you will get in a Zen like state and your un will become a delight.
The runners high will occur when the runner disappears into the run.
This means the mind is forgotten and when the mind is forgotten the runners high is experienced.
If you will note this famous and well sought after state is always experienced as a memory and never when it is occurring.
If you experience it as it happens you have ended it because you brought the mind in, the high state is a state that occurs when the mind is absent.
And the mind becomes absent when it is aware, a mind that is aware of itself becomes non existent.
so again you will want to be aware as you run, ruin with o goal in mind, you do not want to lose eight or get in shape, you do not want the runner's high, you do not want anything from your run, all you should want to do is run, run without any attachments at all
