  I never run longer than an hour, and it always lasts till the end of my run. It disappears near-instantly when I stop running. Even tying my shoelaces or whatever is really obstructive cause it takes me a minute or two to get back in to after.

  I do have after-workout glow and have always had that. Like I feel good after a decent workout for a couple of hours no matter what I do. It’s not related to the runners high. But it means it’s not like my state goes back to baseline when the runners high fades.

  How does that runner’s high feel?

  Like taking good painkillers, being high energy but calm, having great focus, having a clear mind free of rumination or worry, empowering like nothing can stop me.

  Because your method of getting there sounds like hell on earth. I’d want to know what the payoff is.

  I mean, yeah. The method is gruelling. Fwiw, I do have anecdottal data that such “bootcamp” like workouts can more often push people through a plateau in their physical fitness. I’m guessing there are preconditions involved though.

  Oh wow, I love this! Thank you for looking in to this and sharing!

  It lines up with my intuitions and experience trying to learn Japanese. I found all of it as baffling as any new language I tried to learn except kanji. I noticed I found learning kanji far easier than learning any words in hiragana or katakana (both phonetic instead of pictorial), and also that I found learning kanji easier than most non-dyslectic English speakers I ran in to (I didn’t run in to many Dutch speakers)

  I was low-key imagining you speaking German like Rammstein and then Japanese like Baby Metal.

  My inner comedian not withstanding, that sounds awesome! ^_

  oh huh … It hadn’t occurred to me to use it for memorization. I should try that, considering I think I have subpar memory for non-narrative/​non-logical information like strings of numbers. Good point!

  Conversely, I think I have above average memory for narrative and logically coherent information like how things work or events that happened in the past. It feels like that type of information has a ton of “hooks” such that I can use one of a dozen of them to recall the entire package, while a string of numbers has no hooks. It’s like someone is asking me to repeat white noise. But phone numbers and codes and what not are that. Let alone trying to keep track of numbers on something like a graphics card or processor (I gave up).

  These are quizzes you make yourself. Did OKC ever have those? It’s not for a matching percentage.

  A quiz in paiq is 6 questions, 3 multiple choice and 3 open. If someone gets the right answer on the multiple choice, then you get to see their open question answers as a match request, and you can accept or reject the match based in that. I think it’s really great.

  You can also browse other people’s tests and see if you want to take any. The tests seem more descriptive of someone than most written profiles I’ve read cause it’s much harder to misrepresent personal traits in a quiz then in a self-declared profile

  I discovered the Netherlands actually has a good dating app that doesn’t exist outside of it… I’m rather baffled. I have no idea how they started. I’ve messaged them asking if they will localize and expand and they thanked me for the compliment so… Dunno?

  It’s called Paiq and has a ton of features I’ve never seen before, like speed dating, picture hiding by default, quizzes you make for people that they can try to pass to get a match with you, photography contacts that involve taking pictures of stuff around and getting matched on that, and a few other things… It’s just this grab bag of every way to match people that is not your picture or a blurb. It’s really good!

  That sounds great! I have to admit that I still get a far richer experience from reading out loud than subvocalizing, and my subvocalizing can’t go faster than my speech. So it sounds like you have an upgraded form with more speed and richness, which is great!

  Thanks! :D

  Attention is a big part of it for me as well, yes. I feel it’s very easy to notice when I skip words when reading out loud, and getting the cadence of a sentence right only works if you have a sense of how it relates to the previous and next one.

  Oh interesting! Maybe I’m wrong. I’m more curious about something like a survey on the topic now.
