Compare in the type of feeling? Probably not. Compare in intensity? Oh hell yes. I've only touched upon the runner's high, and it makes your body feel like you can run 10 more miles.

From what I've read, other people's personal accounts of the runner's high describe dissociation, or a feeling of floating above their body, watching their muscles move. Other people have said it is like your body is someone else's, your mind just tells it what to do. There are also cases (mine included) of colorful, pattern-like hallucinations.
