When I go running, and i listen to my favorite songs...?

Question

like when im tired and the pain starts to set in, I listen to this song that I Love and suddenly I get this tingly feeling in my head or in my brain, and suddenly i get real pumped and the pain goes away... is this endorfins in action?

Answer 1

Kinda but not exactly. I run with my IPOD a lot and when i get to certain songs that i love i tend to pay more attention to the song causing me to ignore the pain. A lot of people do this and some during races will play that certain song in their head to ignore the pain. Just your body helping you out
