When I was running ultras, I separated it out into pain and suffering.
A 5k run (or shorter) is about how much you can hurt yourself over a short period (pain), while a 100mile ultra is how long you can sustain a moderate, and rising level of discomfort (suffering).
Where running was concerned I was better at suffering.
