I've experienced the runner's high a few times, but it's not something I can rely on. For me, it's more about the sense of accomplishment and feeling strong after a good run. Don't worry if you don't feel it every time - it's not a measure of your progress or dedication. Keep showing up and putting in the work, and you'll get there!

Inspiring story! Love his dedication
Yeah, intervals can be brutal! But congrats on seeing improvement in your pace already! That's definitely motivating. For me, it's all about mixing it up and not doing the same interval workout every time. Keeps my mind engaged and prevents boredom. What kind of intervals have you been doing?
That's great to hear! Cycling is low-impact, so it's perfect for knee health. What kind of strength training are you doing? I've been doing bodyweight exercises, but I'm looking to mix it up.
That's a pretty harsh stance - I've seen plenty of runners with their dogs and it seems to work out fine. Maybe share your reasoning?
