The experience left Jelly Roll feeling “really motivated” to continue working on his health. He shared that he and Kreischer even got emotional as they crossed the finish line together.However, he also admitted he felt “a little tired,”, adding, “It was a little bit harder than I thought it was [going to be], but it’s awesome, man.”

 

Looking ahead, Jelly Roll made a declaration, “Next year, a half marathon! We’re saying it now, absolutely!”To prepare for the 5K, Jelly Roll had been training with dedication.

Jelly Roll showed confidence and excitement about losing even more weight.“If I feel this good down this weight, man, I can only imagine what I’m going to feel like by the time I go on tour,” he expressed.

 

A significant part of his motivation came from fans who were concerned about his health.Some of this worry came after his wife, Bunnie XO, mentioned that he stepped back from social media due to bullying related to his weight.

Reflecting on that tough period, Jelly Roll shared, “I feel incredible. I’m surrounded by friends and family.”
