Great video, and congratulations on finishing your first ultra! If I may offer some advice; speak positively to yourself early on. Try not to comment on how brutal a climb is, or how hard a technical section of trail is. When negative thoughts start creeping in, do your best to immediately think of something positive. "This trail is brutal, but I fkn got this!" These races are all about mindset! Welcome to the Ultra Club!
Ok thanks!
I think he did that in his own way. He kept saying …but I feel good. I think his mentality was wonderful. Great job.
Awesome content! I'm also a bigger guy (6'3" 210) and keep getting told longer distance runs aren't for me - inspiring to see people proving the haters wrong.
Appreciate that
We have to show what us big men can do
Thought I was the only one who did Jiu Jitsu and put myself through these crazy challenges. Lol Right on man, great vid.
Right on!
Great job on your first ultra!I just returned from my first 50 miler and I loved almost the whole experience (except the falling and cutting it short at mile 36)! I'm looking forward to following your future adventures!
Thanks! So grateful you spent time to watch it! You’ll for sure finish you’re next one!
Nice Job Cody! I signed up 4 my first 50k at the end of the summer . So exciting!
Very cool! Goodluck on it!
@@coachcodysmith Thanks COdy
Bro… back in the day of days of pagers, look them up I’m 55. The number #1-4-3” was code for “i love you” (1 letter 4 letters 3 letters). I’m thinking it’s a bit of a trail gods karma blessing for you to get that number in your first ultra. Keep that bib nice and framed. Congrats on finishing.
I didn’t even pay attention to that hahahaha- Appreciate that 🙏
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽Since I eat about 80-90% carbs daily for 11 years I enjoy all the carbs. My first race also first trail race was the Moonbow 30k in Ky…I’m 68. Looking to do my first ultra either this or next Fall. Thanks for ur video.
Heck yeah! Thanks for watching
The race volunteer who convinced me to try ultras started running in his 60s, and did his first ultra just before 70, and was still doing them in his 70s. You've got this!!
Thank you for sharing your race. That definitely had a ton of elevation gain 😮 way to push through! Thanks for the inspo as we tackle our first Colorado 50k this coming weekend!
Hope your race went amazing!
Haha! The end of the race. Thank god!!! Haha. I said the same thing after mine. Great job. I agree also with the marathon feeling more difficult. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
The carb load for ultramarathons is harder than people realize. Lol. I always feel HUGELY bloated, but it pays off.
For sure pays off!
Nicely done. This was my 1st ultra as well 2 years ago.
It is a butt kicker for sure. It will test your will. Congrats man.
Definitely a very tough race
Well done dude. What a run! Glad I found your channel. Much love from the UK.
Thanks brother!
Congrats for such a nice performance and with that attitude 🎖 my first 54k is this coming saturday JUNE 17th and im so trilled 🏃🏻♂🏃🏻♂🏃🏻♂ ill think about you in my rough spots !🤝 bye ! and thanks for the coverage !
Goodluck!
Got my first 53km Ultra in October, Great video bro! Greetings from Christchurch, New Zealand
Goodluck! Thanks for watching!
Good stuff man! The first one is always special! 🤘💪
I’m so glad I had the experience 🙏
Great video, congratulations!! I absolutely love ultras... they're the place where "normal" people can feel like true bad@sses. Subscribed, hoping you fall down the ultra rabbit hole! 😂
Thanks for watching! I definitely enjoyed and plan on doing more!
Awesome vid…. Was real and honest… looks like you trained well for this! Congrats
Awesome video! Super inspiring 👏
Thank you 🙏
Good job Cody, well done!!!!
Appreciate it! 🙏
Great video, great scenery and well done
Tomorrow I got my first! Still Nervous and excited all at the same time!
Awesome vid. Congrats!We’re similar in size and I have my first 50k coming up in 2 1/2 weeks. I’m curious what your taper routine looked like? 🤜🇨🇦
Thanks! I’m going to make a video for this! I ran about 17 total miles for race week and about 20 the week before that. At my peak I was around 45-60 miles per week to give perspective of the decrease
@@coachcodysmith Awesome! That’s more or less the approach I was going for. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Well done - good effort!
Thanks!
Loved the show. TY
Glad you enjoyed it
My concern is always eating enough for fuel without feeling like there's a watermelon in my belly by racetime
That was a challenge. I trained for a full cycle and got acclimated to the carbs and carb loading Routine prior to race day!
Awesome job!! What was final elevation gain? Seen about 8k on ultrasignup, that is crazy for 1st 50k esp. in mid May (warm)! I've done about 8-10 50k's and still trying to figure out the nutrition thing with going fast?! Usually hit the wall and hang on from 25 mi. on.
I don't remember and tried to look it up for you. the "total ascent" in my Garmin Log was 7,750ft
As far as Nutrition - Salt and Electrolytes were huge for me. A good carb load before is a game changer. I went for about 750 carbs the day before and had a gel every 30 minutes for the entire race on top of hitting the aid stations often
So sad trails most anywhere need so much work, to avoid washouts
One gel every 30 mins?! I'd shit myself lol
I’m a big guy so it helped keep me going
The only race I ever had GI issues on was the trail marathon where I tried gels every 45 minutes, instead of every hour or two. Never... again. 😆 Give me quesadillas, peirogis, and Mac n cheese any race! 😂
seems like way too much food for a 50k. but everyone seems to need less or more but man!
Music needs to be turned way down
Thanks for the feedback!
After the 10th time you said programming I had to stop watching.
Thanks for the time you did watch 🙏
Quit whining and run,ultras are not easy
Thanks for the kind words
Thankfully they're also full of encouraging, helpful people... not like this one. 😂
