The experience left Jelly Roll feeling "really motivated" to keep working on his health. He shared that crossing the finish line with Kreischer was an emotional moment for both of them.

However, he admitted that 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 announced, "Next year, a half marathon! We're saying it now, absolutely!"

To prepare for that event, Jelly Roll committed to a rigorous training schedule.

In April, he revealed that he had been walking or jogging two to three miles, four to six days each week.

His routine also included 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna and six minutes in a cold plunge each day.

"I'm probably down 70-something pounds," he said, describing how far he had come.

His motivation was also fueled by the concern of fans who cared about his well-being.

Some of this concern was prompted when his wife, Bunnie XO, shared that he had taken a break from social media because of bullying about his weight.

Looking back on that tough time, Jelly Roll said, "I feel incredible. I'm surrounded by friends and family."

He has already earned recognition from the iHeartRadio Music Awards and the Country Music Television (CMT) Music Awards.

He also celebrated earning his first four nominations for the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards.

Whether it’s his music or his health, Jelly Roll’s story continues to inspire his fans, who cheer him on through each step, eagerly waiting to see what he accomplishes next.
