Honored to chat with John Kelly in this episode. He has completed the Barkley Marathons TWICE and has a list of multi-day FKT (Fastest Known Time) records. We chat about how weather plays a big part in his endeavors and the gear planning for events when the forecast becomes less certain for multi-day mountainous challenges.
John's big sponsors are La Sportiva and Ultimate Direction. His website & blog is randomforestrunner.com with amazing write-ups to his races and events, along with links to his social media accounts.
