In this episode, Sophie uncovers why running makes us feel good. This is a rapid fire episode, with more depth on certain aspects coming in future ep’s.
She discusses the previous theory of endorphins causing this 'euphoric' feeling and a more recent idea around a naturally occurring substance, called Endocannabinoid (ECB) which could have a big role to play.
As well as discussing the science and research, she also speaks on a few anecdotal reasons why she believes running is so powerful.
We'd love to hear your thoughts. Why does running make YOU feel good?
