Is running addictive?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

I recently took up running and I just cant get enough. I come home shower and I am already planning my next run. I just find my body craves the exertion.

Anyone else gets this??

Can be for some people, I just view it as a way to eat the food I want to.

I think exercise can be. I can't stand running, but I feel that way about my weight lifting.

You’re addicted to the Endorphins

Yes it's totally addictive. I start to get all annoyed if I've not had a run for a while.

Even better is that I now hardly drink on a Friday night as I want to be fresh for the Saturday morning. Oh no, I sound like a bore, I'll leave now.........

Definitely.

There are brief moments where everything collides beautifully and you feel like you're floating across the ground. Lasts a few seconds, but you chase that feeling for hundreds of kilometres until it happens again.

Exercise is addictive because it releases feel good hormones

I strongly recommend bbc app couch to 5k. This got me started and I cant stop now. It doesn't over stretch you it is really good for newbies like myself. Was surprised day one 1 did 2.3 km walking and running

In view of your user name and pic I just got really confused by your reference to the BBC app!

But you are right, couch to 5km is brilliant for runners and I think it is what had led to the huge number taking up running.

And yes I find it addictive, partly for the endorphins and partly because it clicks with my obsessive tendancies

Yeah since getting a fitbit I'm running all the time. I even run around my kitchen just to get my step count up

I love to swim and bike so have had to run for a few triathlonz, but I endure it.

Now I have discovered Aquabike I probably will never run more than a Parkrun again.

If you ever see me running, you should start! Cos something big and scary is chasing me!

I had breakdown couple of years ago and started running. It helped me a lot gave me some time on my own and pushing myself to go further each run took my mind off my depression.

I feel much better now and have joined a gym and bought a push bike do exercise most days. I find keeping fit in general is a positive step to feel better about myself

Totally! I've been feeling so great lately about myself in general that part of me thinks I'm ready to come off the antidepressants. This is all down to the new lifestyle I've adopted. I fast for 20-24 hours, eat one meal a day and workout most days for twice a day. So far I've lost just under 3 stone in 8 weeks, I feel the fittest I've ever felt and my mood is totally lifted.

Potentially psychologically addictive plus having things in your life that you enjoy is going to be on contrast to the mundane, so you will be likely to look forward to it. Everything in moderation, so you keep your wellbeing in good form.
