A bit of a giggle

I asked AI to come up with a poem regarding runners versus walkers, and this was the result!

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ “Runners vs Walkers – The Dinner Debate” 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

At the dinner table, plates piled high,
Runners and walkers meet eye to eye.
The runners boast, “We’re lightning fast!”
“The race was over before you passed!”

The walkers grin, “We take our time,
We chat, we laugh, we climb, we rhyme.
You may sprint by in a blur of heat,
But we still finish—and get to eat!”

Runners sip water, proud and lean,
Walkers pour wine, their joy serene.
One burns rubber, one burns the roast,
But both raise forks to make a toast:

“To sore feet, strong hearts, and friendly fight,
To morning miles and restful night.
Whether we ran or took it slow—
We all crossed the line, and we all still glow!”

From the Coaches Corner😊

What is RUNNERS HIGH?.

Ever heard the term runners high, but you have no idea what it is?

Let's explain

A "runner's high" is a temporary state of euphoria and reduced anxiety that can occur after sustained or intense exercise
While once thought to be caused solely by endorphins, it is now understood to be a complex phenomenon involving endocannabinoids, which are produced in the brain and can cross into the bloodstream. It is a relatively rare experience and requires prolonged physical exertion to potentially achieve, so not everyone who exercises will feel it.

Characteristics of a runner's high

Euphoria: A feeling of extreme joy, delight, and bliss.

Relaxation: A deep sense of relaxation and calm.

Reduced pain: A temporary increase in the pain threshold, making one feel less pain.

Anxiety reduction: A feeling of lessened anxiety.

How it happens

Endocannabinoid system: When you exercise, your body releases endocannabinoids, which are compounds similar to cannabis. These can cross the blood-brain barrier and produce the pleasurable feelings associated with a runner's high.

Endorphins: While endorphins are released during exercise, they are large molecules that cannot easily cross the blood-brain barrier to affect your mood in the same way endocannabinoids do.

Intense or prolonged activity: It typically requires pushing your body to a certain level, often through prolonged or high-intensity exercise, to trigger the release of these mood-altering chemicals.
