233 John Kelly, Barkley Marathons finisher and 2x Kona finisher - a podcast by Rob Wilby

We've got an in-depth interview with an incredible athlete for you this week.  Barkley Marathons finisher and two times Kona Qualifier John Kelly is on the show! John talks about becoming only the 15th person ever to finish the insanely tough Barkley Marathons, when he completed it on his third attempt in 2017.  (As if that wasn't enough, the same year, he went on to finish 7th in his age group in Kona.) He also tells us about his Grand Round attempt - not only tackling the three classic British fell running challenges back to back...but cycling between them. This guy pushes limits to a whole new level.
