Intuitively i would say it’s because your body knows the difference in running which is something essential for survival and maintenance of a healthy physique and a forge in substance that hijacks your dopamine receptors. Also you have to keep in mind the thing that causes cognitive decline with meth isn’t necessarily the dopamine dump itself, but all the impurities and toxins commonly found in street meth. And the methods of consumption. Whereas obviously when you’re running, there are no impurities, just pure dopamine.

Do people unironically think running is the same type of high as meth? Or better yet, do people legitimately think running provides any type of high? Are you guys sure your track coach wasn't just spiking the water with amphetamines?

the human body evolved precisely to run far distances at a time

Running high related to cannabinoid receptors, so it’s a literal weed high feeling. Also smoking weed and running is fun (if you run often enough)

When your body makes the brain juice it's better than injecting literal chemical additives into yourself.

dopamine plays a role but runners high is really about endorphins
if anything it should be compared to heroin, not meth.

Cause running refines all parts of the cycle, why drugs can only refine one thus making you suffer from imbalance.
