Answer
In This Won't Hurt a Bit episode 10, Extreme Running, host Jess tells Dave that exercise is protective against strokes, heart disease, diabetes, and maybe even some cancers. She says it changes the body and it changes the mind. Just before that, the episode describes a runner's high that almost mimics the high people get from drugs, but in a healthy and natural way, through opioids and cannabinoids. Dave tells Jess he must not be making those chemicals, because he feels like a mediocre marathon man rather than a winner. The episode's guest for the long-distance story is ultrarunner Dean Karnazes.
