Resilience is a Running Theme
La Sportiva mountain running athlete John Kelly is now deep into his attempt to set a speed record on the Appalachian Trail. In this second episode of the weekly video series, we dive back into the journey and catch up with John as he nears the end of his first full week on the trail. What’s changed? How’s the body holding up? And what kind of moment have defined the early days?
We also hear from the people making this attempt possible: his family, his crew, support runners, and those inspired by his attempt along the way
John is dedicating this FKT to raising awareness and funds for communities hit hard by Hurricane Helene, many of which sit along this very trail.
