In this BBR Special Jody and David talk to John Kelly, endurance athlete and the only finisher at this year's Barkley Marathons.

John reveals his journey from not running to competing at Barkley three times until he finally achieved his goal of finishing, how he trains for Barkley and the mind games you go through when you're out on the course.

David isn't subtle in trying to pump him for all the information he can about entering, while Jody sees many parallels with his 4 Laps of Nuts drama (no-one else does, though...)
