I agree with what you are saying, but if one is willing to subject oneself to pain (i.e. via self injury) then one (in theory) would be willing to exercise (also inducing pain - if not in shape). Again, not to disparage others (as I don't understand their situation) but I think there are many more productive ways to get an endorphin release besides cutting or other self injury.
The runners high for me only starts after about 30 min of running. I wouldn't even call it a high as more as it is anxiety relief and a sense of wellbeing.
The high is intensified by taking an MAOI, which does lead itself to the theory of PEA release.
