I find “feeling better afterwards” to be utterly distinct from “runners high”.
“Feeling better” is a given after most training sessions, and I use it as a marker for not being overtrained.
However, there is no way for me to force the “high”. I can facilitate it, maybe. But it mainly comes and goes at it pleases. It may be a fleeting moment or it can last for literal days.
It is like flying. There is no pain - no discomfort at all. The mind disassociates from the body. I am Hermes in his winged sandals. I am God.
