In my experience a) some highs are a lot higher than others, so you barely notice the low highs b) you can't guarantee that a certain session will produce a high - sometimes a set of sprints, sometimes a threshold run, sometimes a long run - it can be an elusive beast. This leads me to think that, like gene expression itself, and indeed fitness adaptations, a high is best left to random generation: it won't respond quite as well to a rigidly imposed system as it will to a 'how you feel' approach to running and resting.
