How To Run 100 Miles, a documentary by Brendan Leonard

Brendan Leonard is a writer, journalist, runner, and outdoors enthusiast. His blog, Semi-Rad is a source of joy and fun for me every week. In 2017 he made a short documentary for REI titled How To Run 100 Miles, which chonicles the build up to and running of 102.9 mile ultra-marathon, but also dives into why anyone would want to do such a horrible thing to themselves. It’s an uplifting and entertaining film that might even get you to consider lacing up for a long run.

For my part, tomorrow begins a 10 month build up to the Tarawera 50km Ultra.
