This past weekend, my Off The Couch co-host, Brendan Leonard (@semirad), ran — and completed — the Bighorn Trail 100 Mile Endurance Run. So I talked with him about why he decided to run it; how he prepared; the highs and lows of the experience; dealing with the race’s signature mud; his advice for anyone thinking of running a 100; and then, the big question: whether or not he plans on running another 100 miler.
