Runners and writers got over the hump to get where they're at. They didn't start out in tranquility and joy. It took some work to get to the point where it's no longer work. Like an aquired taste, there's "aquired fun".

I've read that rock climbers have a saying, "fun doesn't have to be fun."

(admittedly, I never heard that in five years of active climbing, but upon hearing it I immediately understood it to be true)
