Добавлен 26 апр 2022
My name is Cody. My biggest fear in life is regret. I'm afraid of waking up on my deathbed in 90 years and wishing I took more risks. Wishing I actually lived my life instead of just going through the motions and doing what society deems "normal." Normal is my enemy. Join me as I wage war on "normal."
My name is Cody and I am actually alive.

Follow along as I tackle a 26-mile course with 6,000ft of elevation gain all over 10,200 feet. Highlights of this race include meeting amazing people, eating mayo at mile 14, pounding pop-tarts, and pooping in the woods. By some miracle, I end up qualifying for the 100-mile trail race. Lets GOOOO

Kilimanjaro proved to be a worthy opponent, but I emerged triumphant. The distance was not difficult, but the altitude took its toll. Follow along as I traverse through Kilimanjaro National Park towards the highest peak on the African continent.

Just a 62-mile dance in the desert. There was snow, there was mud, there were hills, there was some river crossing action. I fell a lot and ate a lot of processed sugar. Had some badass pacers to keep me company. It was not the result I wanted but absolutely zero complaints. Elite ultra-runner career loading....
The Midstate Massive - Winning my First 100 Mile Race!
Просмотров 7 тыс.11 месяцев назад
The experience of a lifetime. This race is one I will never forget. I ended up winning with a time of 19 hours 47 minutes which is good for an 11:44 minute per mile pace. There was 14,000ft of elevation gain in this race. There was rain, mud, roots, rocks, pop tarts, chicken burritos, two poop breaks, and a whole lot of smiles. I would not change a single thing about how this race went down. It...

If your company flies you to Switzerland for work, you take advantage of it! The Allgäu Panorama Ultra is a 70km race through the beautiful Allgäu mountain range in southern Germany. The race begins in Sonthofen and even crosses international borders into Austria! The race was a mixture of trail, gravel/dirt roads, and lots of asphalt which made the descents very brutal. The people were incredi...
MR340 2023 - A Year of Headwind and High Water!

This event has been on the bucket list for a long time. It is well outside my wheelhouse as most of my adventures are on land. Previously, my kayak record was 13 miles. However, I love finding new ways to test my limits and grow as an athlete and this race definitely accomplished both of those objectives! I felt truly connected with nature. The headwinds made me cry, the sunset made me smile, a...
The Best Hikes in Yosemite!!!

Three days in the most beautiful place possibly on the planet. Yosemite is unlike any place I have ever seen and I loved every second I spent here. I did three hikes while I was here - Upper Yosemite Falls (7ish miles), Glacier Point via the four-mile trail (9ish miles), and Vernal Falls via the Mist trail (4ish miles). From powerful waterfalls to breathtaking views of the valley, Yosemite is a...

Mount Blanca Defeats Me!!!
Просмотров 129Год назад
I attempt to hike Mt. Blanca, but the high snow year had other plans for me. Made it just over 12,000 feet and then camped for the night. 13 miles, 4,000 feet of gain, and a darn good time!
Rim to Rim to Rim - A Grand Canyon Adventure
Просмотров 15 тыс.Год назад
On June 16th, 2023 I undertook an epic journey in the Grand Canyon. I began on the south rim, took the Bright Angel trail to the North Kaibab trail to the north rim, then turned around and did it all over again. My watch died with about a half mile to go but in total, the journey was almost 49 miles, took just under 11 hours, and had over 14,000ft of gain. It was very hard. I reached the upper ...

Do run a wealth management company or something like it?
@@DadBodRunning what? I’m a financial advisor if that’s what you’re asking.
Have you been calling people who finished leadville 2024 offering services?
@@DadBodRunning I’ve been reaching out to people I want to meet. I love running and the people in the sport. If I can be a resource to people professionally, great. If not that’s fine too and I got the benefit of meeting cool people I can relate to. If you want to discuss this further dm me on instagram or give me a call
@@Cody-does-things Well I need to apologize for being rude to you on the phone today. I totally thought you were a scammer, because I just watched your leadville 100 race video and then the next day some guy calls me and I thought they were pretending to be you. Great race by the way, though it's likely we only saw each other once out there.
@@DadBodRunning haha no worries man I get it in todays day and age of AI and junk. Great race to you too, it was a fun time out there. I’ll call you back next week and we can try and connect.
You are so lucky that’s it’s overcast 😊 you killed it dude 👌🏻
It was great seeing the special guest appearance by the Nicholls brothers. That was a rough race fall wise man. That must have sucked. Great job in the race though that couldn't have been easy.
Nice special guest appearance from Augie. The Haywain shirt division is real. Great job on that marathon, what's even crazier is that you only had 6 weeks to train for that 100 mile race. I think only someone with your mindset could accomplish that.
Another smashing 100. Well done and nice video!
@@RhodySeth thanks!
You’re a legend bro
You crushed it !! Great video !
You need a merch collection, t-shirt... "No More Poops" Great video!
@@bradfordkidd4037 hey now we’re onto something… 😂
Dude that's awesome, you're a real inspiration to keep it fun and have a great time during races. Well done! 👏🏆👍
@@ritchierobershaw2093 thanks! Truly appreciate it!
That's an insane distance to run Cody. Running that kind of distance takes incredible endurance and mental fortitude. I hope someday I'll become as good of a runner as you man. Keep up the amazing work and hope all goes well for you.
Awesome man. Great job. 👏👏
Bravo 👏
Well done!!!
Meanwhile Roche is over here eating practically nothing, and living off liquid carbs. Still a sick race you ran.
Which wave did you start in?
@@shoutingvoice8681 the very first one. After like 3 hours of delay
Congrats mate! Well done. Also the video is fun to watch. How about making a video where you talk about your training plan leading into the race?
@@alexsavin3173 I can do that! Wasn’t much of a plan, I just kinda make stuff up as I go but I can share what I did. Also only had about 6 weeks to prepare after getting in through the trail marathon.
To follow up, I checked the Leadville results and see you got 13th place and are a mere 4 hours from beating the record set by that Roche guy. Frigging awesome. I think you can get it next year with a couple adaptions to your race regime. First, the new shirt, which we already discussed. Second, more petroleum jelly and talc for those particular areas. Third, you need to be able to take a good dump before the race starts. I have heard that eating a certain food will induce that BM you need. Its called an In-n-Out Burger. Probably best to leave off the onions. Cheers.
@@malcolm20091000 haha I’ll be sure to pound some in n out the night before. A high quality pre race dump would have worked wonders. I definitely hope I get another crack at it next year - the lottery system is just so broken it’ll be a miracle if I get in. 🤞🤞
Wow. What blows me away the most is how you manage to keep your spirits so high and light hearted, especially when suffering with ankle pain so early on for such a long race. That's a gift and incredible strength to possess! Amazing achievement, you should be really proud of yourself Cody! Hope you keep making these race videos, you're an inspiration to watch and it's cool to follow your journey!
@@Krilin84 I’m still figuring a lot of things out physically and nutritionally, but one of my strengths is definitely my mindset. Thanks for watching and for commenting - lately I’ve been wondering if I should keep making videos and this shut those thoughts right up! Thanks!
@@Cody-does-things cool! yeah, trying out drink mix carbs is probably worth while - good way to get proper amounts of sodium in too. I really like 1-2 scoops of Tailwind coupled with 250-500mg extra sodium/0.5L of water in the summer (makes for about 1500mg of sodium/L). Combining that with the Precision Fuel PF90 gel-pouches is really handy to manage your carb intake depending on thirst, I find!
Great job!
Really enjoy your videos. Great job.
Wow congrats man! You're an animal!
@@aaronsmith2929 thanks!
Fun stuff. Hopefully see ya at black canyons in feb or eventually at western states.
@@shoutingvoice8681 no black canyon this year but western states is definitely in the works for the next 5 years
@@Cody-does-things you will smoke wsrn
@@shoutingvoice8681 haha hope so. It’s getting crazy competitive but I’m excited to throw down when the time comes
Well, you know I'm not one to criticize, but when you are trying to place high in the Hawaiian Shirt Division, and you wear the same one as last race, that just aint gonna cut it, Cody. May I recommend the Reyn Spooner Hawaiian shirt next time? A little pricer but the cut is awesome. Oh shit, I forgot to mention - that was an amazing race you did here! I can't even think 100 miles, and your ran it. So impressive.
Yeah yeah I know but it’s the only Hawaiian shirt I have! I’ll look into Reyn and make sure I spice things up for next time! Thanks for watching! Hope you maybe start thinking about 100 miles and I’ll get to see you out there
Great job Cody!
Fantastic job Cody! Been waiting for your video on your race. If you're not trail pooping, and falling, you're not running hard enough!! Some suggestions: -I think you'd love a Naked Running Band, and using the Camelbak soft flask in 21oz, and tuck in either another 21oz empty or a 17oz empty, and use the 2nd flask in sections of a race where you need 2, or you want to carry water to put on your hair and shirt if it's hot. You can "holster" that empty one, between the Band and your hip, because the soft flasks are completely flat when empty. That belt you're wearing is no bueno, and it doesn't even have compartments on the front... useless. (you can see me wearing the Band, loaded, in my vids. Been using one since Feb '19) -You might like swapping in 50/50 with GU Roctane -Take a look at the way donuts are made, and the nasty oil they fry in, and maybe that's not the best for a runner's racing stomach. -Guys are having good luck with the balm used by dairy farmers on cow teets, and it's cheap. With a Naked Running Band, you could carry a small zip-lock baggy with some in it, and turn the baggy inside-out to apply it, and then zip the bag back up and stow it back in the Band for the next use. You could also carry some TP, and get that restocked at the crewed aid stations. -Would you run cooler if you took the ball cap off until you really needed it, and kept your hair wet? You've got a big head of hear, so packing that sweaty hear in under a cap, in the heat, and preventing the head from cooling... brutal. There's a huge volume of blood flow through the head, and cooling it would make you feel better. -You might find white arm sleeves are fantastic in the heat. They keep the sun off your arms, and they get sweaty (you can put creek water on them) and then your arms swinging back and forth, turn into giant radiators. Pretty amazing. Unbutton most of the shirt so it billows and allows air in on your chest, and you're golden. -Fresh, very ripe, pineapple, and peeled "cutie" tangerines are heaven. Look up the nutritional facts for both, and it's huge. They're really easy on the stomach, and they're just a ton of juice, so they are great. Carry a zip-lock baggy of them, and pick away between aid stations.
Wow. So much wealth of info here I truly appreciate it. You are very right. I saw a lot of people with the naked bands and I think that’ll be the way to go for sure. Definitely need more water as well, especially on the hope pass section so having a larger flask and a backup would be perfect. Donuts - yeah bad call on my part it won’t happen again. Especially since I got those at Walmart so they weren’t even good if I wasn’t running 100 miles lol. I have arm sleeves but they’re black so I’ll look into the white ones - makes sense to keep the sun off. I’m a huge advocate of fruit so that’ll take no convincing. And any anti chafe method is better than my current plan so I’ll try and find some of that cow lube! Thanks again for watching and for the advice. I’m still so new and learning so much and I really appreciate you!
Any footage from your Leadville 100?
@@timkavanaugh6474 yep it’s coming I’m just behind on editing. I’ll be out in a week or two!
Sweet!
Awesome job! Very inspiring. I'm trying it next month, and now I'm so intimidated, but I'm not gonna be going near as fast. Just dont stop!
@@bradphenix you’ve got this! Just keep moving and drinking and eating and you’ll be fine! Go get em!
Big fan man , inspired me to sign up for my first 50 in October ! Energy is amazing .. hoping that Leadville 100 video is out soon 👀
Way to go! I've done three R2Rs with the fourth coming up soon. Seemed like you were a little cocky at first, but very humble at the end. Still, you did an R2R2R in ten hours, and that's just amazing! You say now that you won't do it again, but I bet you will. It gets in your soul and will always be calling to you. Job well done! 🎉
@@stantheman5659 thank you! You’re exactly right… I already want to come back! I definitely underestimated it at the beginning but luckily I had my fitness to fallback on. I definitely needed to eat and drink wayyyy more.
Hakuna matata
Nice! Did the Machame route in February. Puked four times during summit night lol
Nice job Good Luck in the 100
You should have went down the South Kaibab it would have saved you two hours than going down Bright Angle
Well done man! but, boy, you are annoying..!
Cool Movie, great effort! Real Comedy Gold when you pronounce the words „Sonthofen Allgäu Panorama Marathon“…. Nice try 😆… keep it up. Made my day!

thx for the video, just signed up for it a week ago, so the video is super helpful to me :)

Dude, you barely ever drink any water in all your videos

@@shoutingvoice8681 just kidding lol. You’re right I don’t video that very much for some reason. But trust me I do drink a healthy amount of water. I decided to just chug at the aid stations to save the weight of wearing a vest or belt.

I'm thinking that mayonaisse is used for high-altitude oxygen replacement. Soon to be seen on Mt. Everest expeditions.
@@malcolm20091000 I agree. I pretty sure there’s got to be some science or study somewhere to back this up. Saw it here first
If mayonaisse and pop tarts are the key, why am I so out of shape? You got screwed, you should have been first in the Hawaiian shirt division.
@@malcolm20091000 I agree. I’m going to wear it again for the 100. Will dominate the division there for sure
Great run Cody! Congrats on the strong finish. Keep up that great attitude my friend. Looking forward to the next one!

Great job dude! Glad that you got yourself off the mountain in one piece. Im going in october and try to survive the last summit push, its going to be a challenge 😅
@@mopomiesmopomies5882 you got it! Hopefully you’re doing a slightly longer route. I think with one more day to adapt it would have been a piece of cake
@@Cody-does-things My route is 7 days, so the altitude should not be a huge problem for me. Now I'm just trying to train hard cause my cardio is not the best lol. Gonna be trying my best to reach the summit and get down safely 😎
@@mopomiesmopomies5882 you’ll do great! The distance really isn’t an issue and your pack will be so light with the porters all you have to do is walk! Enjoy it!!
What website to use to find this race
I honestly don’t remember. I knew I was going to Zurich and I think I just googled “ultra marathons in Europe calendar” and somehow found it
3:02 thanks Cody for not showing us your deposit. Oh yea, 8:49 too.
Thought about it but figured that might not be too classy lol
Cody, has Lazarus Lake been in touch yet? I see a certain Tennessee marathon(s) in your headlights. (Especially the way you like the site of blood.)
Haha no not yet. Not sure I have the mental capability to do a scavenger hunt in the woods AND run 100+ miles at the same time. Someday…. :)
