John Kelly&the infamous Barkley Marathon - a podcast by Brodie Sharpe

Starting off the year with something different and light hearted before our 100th episode. I pulled one of my most popular episodes from the Everyday Running Legends podcast.

This episode I had the pleasure of interviewing John Kelly, the 15th person to ever complete the infamous Barley marathon before its 60-hour cut-up time. 

The Barkley Marathons is an ultramarathon trail race held in Frozen Head State Park near Wartburg, Tennessee. The full course is 100 miles (160 km). The race is limited to a 60-hour period.

We dive into John's physical and mental training to prepare for such a grueling feat. We talk about his previous failed attempts and how he turned in all around.
