My wife likes to hike. I went with her once, and I frequently covered distances of up to 100m before collapsing with apathy. So, just the running.

Very cool! Do you think you feel like shit because you're used to doing it or do you feel like the running is what's genuinely improving your mood?
Bit of both. I've been doing it since, well, forever. So yes, I'm used to it. But the endorphins play a large part. I don't feel guilty if I miss a run, I just feel psychically and physically bad.
