A runner’s high can make you addicted to running, which is not a good thing as it can lead to injuries. In a 2020 study on mental recovery in running, researchers surveyed 246 recreational runners in the Netherlands who were between 19 and 77 years old. Runners who were able to properly mentally recover after running were less likely to report running-related injuries. Anyone addicted to running and achieving that "runner's high" should be educated on how best to mentally recover after running, which can help keep them injury free.
