S5E14: Barkely’s Finisher & World Class Ultra-Runner John Kelly

Strength & Speed OCR: Obstacle Course Racing Lessons From Other Sports

John Kelly (www.randomforestrunner.com) is one of the best ultra-runners of all time with major accomplishments including:

• 1st to complete “The Grand Round” – the UK’s big 3 fell running rounds, biking between them
• 2017 Barkley Marathons winner – becoming just the 15th person to finish the race in 30 years
• Breaking a 31 year old record on the Pennine Way (before it was broken again a week later)
• 2020 Spine winner

John is joined very briefly by our beer drinking ultra-runner Gary Shaw (race director of Leaky Hourglass Ultra: ) and Ultra-OCR Man Evan Perperis (www.ultraocrman.com) to talk the far reaches of endurance including training, fueling, gear, major goals and a lot more.
