Endorhin high that is .
I was familiarized with endorphan highs at a young age starting at 10 years and up to 18 years old. My highs came from training in the martial arts, my studio was old school Japanese! My idol was, and still is Bruce Lee. I would train for between one hour, and more often than not 2 hours, very intensely 3 to 4 times a week! Sensei Fujiyama would come around with his bamboo sword and swack you if were half assing it, so there is were my highs came from, most would last for a couple of hours and I felt like supperman!
Of course runners and most athletes experience this phenomenon, as do I when mountain biking but, I only feel the high when I ride between 7 and 15 miles max, at 10 miles 2,000 ft. is the most intence.
Excersie can turn back the clock I firmly believe, but what is to much? Twenty to twenty five miles is a good fit for me but I do not get the high.
I have done the Kokopelli ride of 50 miles per day, for three days, and I understand the human body is amazing due to it's adaptability but, could this kind of thing actually speed up ageing? Sorry Mikie and Ross, not trying to put a damper on that amazing ride! I know the experiance is more than worth it! I'm just wondering if this kind of stress pushed on the body FREQUENTLY speeds up the ageing process instead of the reverse. Where if any does your high begin and end?
