Running while High

jbergsie · #1 (**permalink**) 09-30-2009, 08:18 PM

No idea why but whenever i smoke i can run a lot faster and there are witnesses for this as well. Anyone have any reason why this would be?

I had a friend in highschool who claimed he could run at "rocket speeds" when he was high. This is obviously not true, smoking weed doesn't turn you into a grade A athlete. Now, a pair of Jordans on the other hand....

Me being a slow runner running fast for me is that i can keep up with the average person while baked. Talked to my buddy who is studying medical stuff(not sure on the exact major) He seems to think that it is because of increased andrenaline release in the body

I think for lack of a better term its just because your more ''into it'' ive noticed i can lift more for longer when i go to the gym after a bowl.

Your friend should study a bit more, because smoking weed doesn't increase adrenaline output. Due to the high, it may seem like any output of adrenaline is higher, but it's not.

Chalk it up to the time dilation.

For me it actually did...
This is all personal experience but...

Used to have issues running, or just issues with exercise in general. I had no endurance or coordination and would actually trip over my feet at times.

Then I tried running and smoking and it works perfectly. Because its an aoli dialator I think its supposed to help with your breathing as well. I know I used to have BAD asthma until I started smoking (i know, I should be vaping).
After I smoke, I can concentrate on my breathing and which muscles to workout If I get the right strain,I can target certain muscle groups while running that you usually would not be able too.

I have ran 12 minute miles all my life, and now I run 5-10 miles a day (w/ @ least 1,000 ft elevation change) with a 30-50 pound backpack. And I love doing it!

I would have never believed it if someone told me cannabis could have such a positive impact on my health. No joke...keep going. Get a vape and keep running.

The cannabanoids in your system will mask some of the discomfort you feel while running, thus making it seem a little easier..

I don't think it will increase your aerobic ability though. I run high all the time and notice more mental effects than physical.

Heres a link, I guess its a bronchodialotor - Marijuana and health: report of a study - Google Books

Yeah, physical and mental effects are great...
Do you go to UC Davis or just reside in Davis? Was thinking of going there for a while.

Dodgeball with your closet homies when your high !

Run before you smoke.

Runner's high (endorphins) + THC = EPIC high.

YourATowel · #13 (**permalink**) 10-01-2009, 07:18 AM

Uh, I smoke and then run, and the high I get from that is not even close to any high I have ever gotten from cannabis alone

i love to get high and do some pilates and whatnot...the high just takes me there...thats how i know the prohibitionists are lying

I can run longer sometimes when I smoke (granted I can run a good distance anyway), but I'm just more into it. It reminds me of running while I was a little kid, not running from anything, towards anything, for any prizes are scholarships, just running to run.
And it was fun.
