Do you feel like your on top of the world after a hard run?

Answers:

Do you get the same fat burn/cardio benefit from running 1 mile 3 x a day as you would run 3 miles in1 shot?

Not always, somedays my body wants to go slower and I feel really beat if I push it too hard, but there are definitely days where I get a huge lift out of a good hard run. Of course I am getting older now, so I guess that is to be expected.

I find I enjoy my runs most when I go with what my body feels like doing. If it wants to crank out a hard 8 or 9 miles I let it. If it wants a slow jog in the park I let it do that.

Nike+ Moire running shoes?

First of all, it is NOT because of endorphins. There was an article in Runners World Magazine about a study that proved that endorphins are not the cause of the runner's high. There is another chemical in your body that is very similar to the chemical in marijuana that makes you feel "high". A hard workout increases the amount of that chemical present in your body. Still, you feel so great after a hard workout mostly because of the feeling of accomplishment.
