Amazing. Anything with John Kelly gets a like from me, he could just be sat eating his dinner and I'll be content. Such a humble man and I've been a fan ever since I first heard of him falling out of the trees with a bin bag on at the barkley's.
really cool to see Damo as support! that is comradery personified
I cannot imagine what it was going through his mind in the final moments after that descent. So much grit and determination. I think that the idea of being back with his family was one of the most powerful reasons to finish. For them and for him, and finally able to get that well deserved rest.
I am out of breath watching this. John you are a machine!
John Kelly is a truly humble man. This was a great inspiration.
Beside the sheer limit of this endeavor, John’s statements about using and exceeding g our gifts and expectations in all areas of life impressed me most
John started his run on Sunday 16 August 2020 and finished on Friday 21 August 2020 in a total time of 5 days, 10 hours and 43 minutes (130:43). Fantastic.
Inspiring emotional humbling thank you John for showing us all that we are capable of great things. Bravo Sir.
You sir are a bloody legend, I thought the Barkley marathon was impressive!!!!
When I was a child I dreamed I’m was Mickey Mantle. As an Old Man (68) I dream I’m a Ultra Runner. People like John, Courtney, Dylan and many more like me motivated to keep running. When I’m injured or feeling my age. I’ll watch one of these videos or listen to a Podcast and I can’t wait to get back out there.
So inspiring. I am planning a Bob Graham for next summer and didn't realise how small minded I was being. I cried liked a baby when I finished a 100- miler last year and can't believe how together he was at the end! Serious respect
Probably the best video of it’s type that I’ve seen. Not only an amazing achievement but John’s words about challenges, the sweet spot and motivation rings true with me too. Martin Stone’s words at the end were very touching too.
John, you are going to be a GREAT father !!!!! YOU sir have been MY inspiration ever since you won Barkeley ... GREAT, GREAT FILM.... JUST AWESOME.
Great film. Epic achievement. Such a humble guy...
Whow, what a legend! John, you humble, inconspicuous beast! Great film, thank you.
Unreal video. His explanation of how he got to running this event is so spot on. John is an amazing athlete
Incredible talent! What a champion
If the average human outer edge is somewhere on earth, John Kelly’s is somewhere in a galaxy far far away. Incredible achievement and a huge inspiration as I seek my own outer edge (currently shooting for R2R2R in 2021).
An amazing feat of endurance and grit. Thanks for sharing 👌 😊
EXCEPTIONAL. A great physical and logistical feat and fantastic doco. Well done all.
