Run-out gives long initial travel, but not spongy, then after the first pump
and assuming you have come to a standstill, each successive press of the
pedal, no long how long you wait, will have a normal pedal feel.
Poor hand brake adjustment also gives a long pedal and no sponginess, but
you will get that same sensation with every application even at a
standstill.
With air in the system you get a long travel *and* spongy, but with a couple
of pumps this will seems to give a normal pedal. But leaving it just a few
seconds, even when stationary, the pedal will go long and spongy again.
With bulging hoses you will get near normal travel but sponginess with every
application.
Of course you could have any combination of the above ...
