Interesting how the endurance high seems to require progressively higher dosages as one gets fitter. <br /><br />Also, in my own subjective experience (through cycling), I get the high when I exercise at a fast aerobic pace, but not so much when I'm going at 'sub-puke' pace -- a case of stress hormones vs feel-good hormones maybe? <br /><br />Great blog!Jesse Bastidehttp://thefitnessplace.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-14521112705580450062010-03-29T14:08:17.731-07:002010-03-29T14:08:17.731-07:00OMG, you totally know what I'm talking about! ...OMG, you totally know what I'm talking about!
