Adventure philosophy from BRENDAN LEONARD<br />
“One time, I was trying to prepare for an ultramarathon that was 160km long,<br />
with 7,300m of elevation gain. Where I lived, it was the middle of winter, so my<br />
trail options were pretty limited. I ended up deciding to do 12 laps on a road<br />
that climbed to the top of a mountain near town, to equal roughly 3,600m<br />
of elevation gain over the course of 80km. Most people might think that sounds<br />
ridiculous and maybe borderline psychotic. It’s both of those things, but<br />
in my mind also necessary. When a hiker who had seen me three different times<br />
in the span of two hours asked, ‘What are you training for?’ I replied,<br />
‘Something way worse than this.’”<br />
