I think peoples descriptions of exercise highs are overblown in general. When I was training hard I'd feel pleasantly worn out afterwards and would certainly agree that I got the endorphins flowing.

People are actually different. Just because you don't experience the actual euphoria I do doesn't lead me to assume you're making it up that you don't. Those of us describing it that way aren't exaggerating.
