I think you really only get an "endorphin rush" when you're just starting with exercise and you over-exert yourself to pain levels.

For me it takes 4-7km of running or 15-25km cycling to get to the state where it suddenly feels like I can just go on forever. Of course that only works until the food I carry runs out or muscles start to hurt.
