INTRODUCTION
I have always been an avid runner, well not always, it took me to when I was 18 and discovered the power within my soul to sprint. Before that I would drag my feet. I was running on and off until 29, where I really dived into health and fitness. Thank god! Better late than never.
But I digress, this about a collection of experiments I wanted to try, to see what impact psychedelics have on the subjective experience of running, not performance.
A few years ago a read a report where someone had great success running on around 2.5mg of DOM, so this last few weeks, while I have the time and space to perform these experiments, I dove in heard first to explore their potential for subjective enhancement of running.
The experience was to include LSD, but I could not find the time, so the experiments were as follows :
So let’s get right into the chronology ->
CHRONOLOGY
18mg 2C-B
SET: feeling good and energised.
SETTING: Fresh spring day, slightly cloudy outdoors, not too cold. Saturday,
-0:30 : Ingest work out mix.
0:00 : 2C-B RIGHT before the run.
0:30 : + First alerts, body feeling a little wobbly. Cognitive all good
1:00 : ++ Incredible! Euphoria and running energy
1:30 : Feeling exhausted.
2:00 : Shower home, food. Still a ++.
3:00 : Very relaxed, want to keep it going. 5mg added.
4:00 : A nice ++ continues on
6:00 : Out, a little left. No residue, feeling refreshed and clear.
5mg DOM
SET: Generally in good spirits, had a few things sitting in my head I didn’t like
SETTING: Another Fresh spring day, crisp outdoors, very cold. Saturday,
0:00 5mg DOM first
0:30 Pre work out mix.
1:00 Head for the run, some alerts
1:30 ++ Nice! This is power, love the energy
2:00 +++ Running out doors is concerning with a +++, better make it home, starting to lose track of location
2:30 +++ Very good empathy! Not far left
3:00 +++ Back home, shower eat, feel refreshed
5:00 ++ Some dropping, get stuck into negative and angry thoughts. Working through them is good!
10:00 + Just a little still there, colour enhancement and emotional enhancement, mood improved.
14:00 + Still something?
18:00 Lots of wine before bed, just in the mood!
24:00 Completely back to base line, just residue from wine is not so good. No wine next time.
16mg 2C-B
SET: Was not going to do this, but bit the bullet as I have this only one last time before a long break between experiments. Good spirits! Very positive feedback last few days.
SETTING: Warm spring day, overcast with chance of rain
0:00 16mg 2C-B,
0:30 Pre-work out mix
1:00: + Alerts, things are climbing. Start run.
1:30: ++ Bad gastro effects. Cramping tummy, lots of movement, distracting from run
2:00: ++ Crazy diarrhoea. Never had this on 2C-B. But often have big bowel movements. Had to stop at McDonalds toilet,
3:00 ++ Home, shower clean up. Feel fresh and very relaxed.
3:30 ++ Eat some breakfast. Great spirits. Lovely to relax. Pets annoying, feed them, go and get ready to work.
4:00 ++ working is nice
5:00 + Pretty much clear.
DISCUSSION
Most people who have tried 2C-B and DOM are familiar with the effects. So I won’t go into too much detail about the experience itself. There were some amazing moments, colour enhancement, patterning and emotional opening. True psychedelic exploration.
All three runs were through the same general course. The second 2C-B experiment was much shorter due to the fact I had such an upset stomach. This was absurd! I was cramping to the point I had to walk. So I returned back home via a shorter route, but alas, time ran out and as I saw my last vestiges of hope not to dislodge the contents on the street, I quickly ran to a MacDonalds (4am) to ask kindly if I could just use their bathroom. Which was very fortunately in good condition! After that, the after burners kicked in and I was close to sprinting the remaining 3km…
Of the three experiments, I cannot decide on whichever is preferred, they all had their merits. The DOM was a bit long in the tooth for a run however. It would be a great addition to the experience, so walking and hiking are a good idea.
All of the effects were very diminished during the run. There were only a few moments on the DOM which I felt like I was truly “feeling” the effects. Other than that, they all seemed to improve my ability to flow through emotions and thoughts with a deeper clarity.
Running in all three cases was generally more pleasurable than not on them.
Interestingly, the effects were also mostly diminished after the run. There was an overwhelming clarity of thought which kept on going throughout the entire experience.
So here are some key points :
SUMMARY
Overall, the running experience as a whole was improved. I preferred it to running straight. Unfortunately, the post effects of the run seemed to diminish the effects of the psychedelics, and there wasn’t a certain relaxation I get when I finish running while still under the effects.
Next few days resulted in no impact on physical or mental performance.
After trying LSD while running, my next set of experiments will be to run BEFORE ingestion also.
Love life. Stay safe. Know yourself and respect yourself.

So here are some key points :
- DOM in particular, since it’s much longer lasting, just lingered for very long, all quite a positive experience.
- The visual effects were the same for all three during the run. Some movement and some patterning.
- After the run however, the visual effects in all cases were diminished.
- Would be absolutely up for a repeat of 2C-B.
- The DOM I would drop down to 4mg. The 5mg was unnecessary for a run, resulting in a little concern being in public at such a dose.
- I also would like a 75mcg or maybe 100mcg LSD experience.
SUMMARY
Overall, the running experience as a whole was improved. I preferred it to running straight. Unfortunately, the post effects of the run seemed to diminish the effects of the psychedelics, and there wasn’t a certain relaxation I get when I finish running while still under the effects.
