The term I've heard to describe things like this (marathons, mountaineering, etc) is type 2 fun. Type 1 fun is actually fun while you're doing it, type 2 fun takes a couple of weeks to forget the suffering and to decide that it was in fact fun.
- fingerlocks 8y agoThe term was popularized by alpinist Kelly Cordes, but goes back decades. Used frequently in ice climbing scene, because climbing a pitch of ice is generally a painful horrendous experience for most. But you’re so elated and adrenaline pumped when you reach the top, you get a “climbers high” that makes you want to keep going. Type 2 fun is a unique experience.

- snikeris 8y agoI regularly eat eggs or porridge (cream of wheat) for breakfast. I feel better on the eggs days. Could be the choline.
