A seasoned raver, he was no stranger to psychedelics, but it was his first time mixing them with physical activity. \u201cWe realised how fast and effortless it made us move up the mountain and also how good it made us feel,\u201d Joe tells Dazed. \u201cWe made it a regular thing every couple of months.\u201d In January this year, Joe decided to sign up for an ultramarathon to raise money for charity. When the gruelling, long-distance runs started to become boring, he had a lightbulb moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe first time I ate mushrooms and ran, I planned on running 21 kilometres [a half marathon] and ended up running a full marathon instead \u2013 and with ease,\u201d he says. \u201cA week or two later, I ran 30 kilometres while on mushrooms and got personal bests in my 5k, 10k, half marathon and 30k times, all in one run.\u201d After that, taking mushrooms in place of a pre-workout supplement became a weekly thing. \u201cI was running on them near enough every long-distance run in the build-up to my ultramarathon.\u201d He even took mushrooms during the actual race, taking 0.5g (a bit more than <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/life-culture\/article\/56672\/1\/start-microdosing-mushrooms-a-guide-psilocybin-psychedelics\"><span>the standard microdose<\/span><\/a><span>) every 10k.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Now, Joe takes mushrooms before his long runs around every two weeks. Depending on the distance, he\u2019ll take anything from 0.5g to 3.5g \u2013 the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/life-culture\/article\/61092\/1\/how-to-take-a-heroic-dose-of-magic-mushrooms-psilocybin-guide\"><span>average dose for a proper trip<\/span><\/a><span> \u2013 either all at once or throughout the run. And now, he shares his experience of running on shrooms <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joeecollinson\/\"><span>with his 30,000 Instagram followers<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cRunning on them just feels so effortless,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s as if you have someone pushing you along.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>No longer the preserve of hedonistic hippies and New Age psychonauts, psychedelics like psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) and LSD have leaked into the mainstream. Hallucinogens are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/life-culture\/article\/62279\/1\/why-are-so-many-young-people-taking-hallucinogens\"><span>increasingly popular among Gen Z<\/span><\/a><span>, who have learned about the proven benefits of psychedelics, from increased productivity to decreased anxiety. That said, combining psychedelics with exercise is still a pretty niche pastime. Dr Rayyan Zafar, a leading neuropsychopharmacologist at the Centre for Psychedelic Research and Neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London, sees it as an extension of the broader cultural shift \u201ctoward experimenting with non-traditional methods of well-being and self-optimisation\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Pairing psychedelics with exercise, Zafar tells Dazed, \u201csits between two modern trends: a desire for flow states and a fascination with biohacking and performance optimisation.\u201d There\u2019s also a social element. \u201cOnline communities share personal experiments, and once a behaviour enters these, it can spread rapidly, sometimes faster than science can keep up, leading to illusions of efficacy, acceptability and safety,\u201d adds Zafar. Indeed, Joe\u2019s Instagram is one such example, as are the numerous <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/microdosing\/comments\/1ibud9p\/shrooms_for_sports_performance\/\"><span>Reddit threads<\/span><\/a><span> where people share similar experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Now is a good time to say that there is absolutely no reliable evidence to suggest that combining psychedelics with exercise is useful, let alone safe. Although, says Zafar, \u201csome people describe feeling more connected to their bodies, more motivated, or less aware of discomfort during exercise,\u201d this is purely anecdotal, \u201cand while those reports are interesting, they\u2019re not a substitute for controlled research.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Still, Joe isn\u2019t alone. Kieran Wilkinson, a 27-year-old Muay Thai fighter from London, regularly uses psychedelics to enhance his workouts. \u201cProbably every couple of weeks, I\u2019ll take a gram of shrooms and run 10k, do some shadow boxing and stretch,\u201d he tells Dazed. \u201cI do it because it makes it fun and enables me to enter a flow state effortlessly. For shadowboxing, I feel more connected to mind and body and can feel the movements. I feel like I can practice with perfect technique and flow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Around every six months, he\u2019ll take a quarter of a tab of acid and shadow boxes \u201cfor hours on end\u201d without needing to stop. \u201cI can feel a primal flow,\u201d he says. \u201cIt feels spiritual.\u201d Like Joe, he also finds it a good way to combat the boredom of \u201cdoing the same shit every day\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>For David, 34, also from London, gym gains were simply a byproduct of running regular microdosing cycles. \u201cWhen I\u2019m microdosing, I feel more focused in my workouts, which are usually weight lifting sessions in the gym or HIIT [high-intensity interval training] at home,\u201d he tells Dazed. \u201cOnce I get going, I have extra motivation, so I generally perform better.\u201d He adds that in the days after doing ayahuasca, his performance is even better. \u201cI\u2019m so locked in,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Again, there is no research underpinning why some people experience improved physical performance after taking psychedelics. However, says Zafar, we can \u201ccautiously speculate\u201d about what might be happening in the brain. \u201cPsychedelics act primarily on the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor which influences sensory processing, attention, perception and the way the brain integrates internal and external cues,\u201d he says. \u201cIn theory, this modulation could change how effort feels, perhaps making sensations seem less threatening or allowing people to sustain a rhythm more comfortably.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He adds that there\u2019s also a potential effect on interoception \u2013 how the brain interprets signals from the body. \u201cPsychedelics might change the emotional tone attached to sensations like breathlessness or muscle fatigue,\u201d he says. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean those sensations go away; rather, they may be interpreted differently.\u201d On top of that, he says, \u201cpsychedelics can temporarily alter the default mode network, a set of brain regions involved in self-referential thinking. When activity in this network decreases, people sometimes report feeling \u2018less in their head\u2019 and more present in physical sensations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This could explain why David, for instance, felt less distracted while doing home workouts, or why Becky, 25, from Manchester, was able to tackle \u201cbigger and harder climbs\u201d after taking 0.25g of mushrooms before a bouldering session. \u201cWe wanted to see if it would shift anything mentally for us, and it completely removed the fear barrier,\u201d she tells Dazed. However, Becky\u2019s experiment wasn\u2019t completely successful. \u201cMy limbs just didn\u2019t really want to try hard, like I was too zen to want to try.\u201d David also had this experience after attempting a long run on 3g of mushrooms. \u201cI found it really challenging, time felt a lot slower and I didn\u2019t manage to run as far as I normally would.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>This is the thing about psychedelics: they\u2019re unpredictable, and it\u2019s vital to take other people\u2019s experiences with a pinch of salt. As Zafar notes, there are plenty of potential negative consequences of combining psychedelics with exercise, and without proper research, safety concerns should outweigh any hypothetical performance benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For one, there\u2019s impaired coordination or judgement, which could increase the risk of injury. Plus, psychedelics cause cardiovascular effects such as increased heart rate and blood pressure, which, says Zafar, are \u201cimportant considerations when already stressing the body through exercise\u201d. And finally, there\u2019s the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/life-culture\/article\/28785\/1\/your-guide-to-a-safe-acid-trip\"><span>potential for a bad trip<\/span><\/a><span>: \u201cset and setting strongly influence psychedelic experiences, and exercise environments can sometimes bring added mental exertion,\u201d he adds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ivan Ezquerra-Romano, a harm reductionist who works at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.substancy.com\/\"><span>Substancy<\/span><\/a><span>, agrees that combining psychedelics with sport is not recommended. However, if you do try it, he says, \u201cit\u2019s important to start with a very low dose and see how your body reacts, as well as staying hydrated and ensuring you have an optimal diet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As Zafar notes, \u201cpsychedelics are showing promise across several clinical domains, but applying them to exercise performance is uncharted territory\u201d. But this is clearly an area that deserves proper investigation, and hopefully, the science will catch up soon.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer class=\"article-footer\">\n<div
