The high is actually explained by the psychology concept of "flow experience". To get a high, you need to involved deeply in an activity, completely immersed within it as to become part of it and lose your sense of self temporarily. You'd need to be doing something you really care about, take seriously, constantly improve and constantly feel challenged. Maybe you could change exercise to one you like better? You may be missing out on what could be the best, most happy hours of your life, and instead running is the opposite to you.
- rmgraham 11y agoI think you just described why I get stuck tinkering on the computer instead of going outside for a run :-(
- goldfeld 11y agoYes! But we grow to like any skillset which we allow ourselves the time to get good in. Sometimes you have to look hard for forms of exercise that you didn't consider before, maybe something will eventually rock your boat as much as tinkering with technology, even in terms of intellectual challenges.
