What’s crazy about this, is not the distance, it’s the terrain. I can’t imagine how insanely difficult dealing with that type of terrain is. Insane
no dog im pretty sure it's still the distance
@@theyfeeltheboy no lmao
both are so impressive tbh
honestly i find it easier to run on trails than asphalt/concrete. maybe its the impact of the roads but i find running on trail to be a lot easier on the knees and enjoyable in general maybe its just me tho
Well yeah the combination of the 2 is insane
This is brilliant Cody, the button is entertaining but I’d like to see more of this, makes me wanna run an ultramarathon.
I completely agree!
you posted this before you watched the video lmfao
Fax
Really
I’m not making it down the block
Lmao Cody is seriously too humble. I don't care what your "muscle memory" is, going from 0 to 60km in 3 months is literally insane, that's amazing man.
Great job, for sure! Also very inspiring! But: If he used to MARATHONS I wouldnt call it "zero" to 60.
@@Brotmaschine08 idk man, I ran a half marathon before COVID and when then I stopped running altogether because of COVID, and now that I’m running again, it feels like starting from zero, my past experience did not help lol just saying it is freaking impressive
Yeah that’s pretty impressive
@@karosu2936 Muscle memory will make it easier to get back in shape. But it's not like it makes it easy.
@@ubervaag7150 that’s a good point, I definitely feel more prepared in terms of knowing how to rest and recover but like you said still not easy to get back to it after being inactive for so long, specially after getting overweight >_
So cool to hear somebody be like "yeah you know what this fucking sucks, look at this stupid trail with all these stupid sticks and rocks and branches, I'm pissed off" etc. rather than the usual "it was such an amazing experience I just dug deep and got through it". Nice to see someone overcome struggle and adversity when they clearly just want to give up. Awesome work, super inspirational.
I've known my share of elite endurance athletes. It's about limit testing and limit testing hurts. For the most part, the long distance running community is honest about it, though.
Most interviews I've seen with elite ultramarathoners are about finding a headspace where you are ok with an insane amount of agony.
If these ultra runners were honest they would call it the "long distance walking community" but they don't cuz they can't handle the truth 😊
@@kxkxkxkxfinish a 100 Miler and we‘ll talk again
Cody is actually insane for doing this. Nice job dude

Finally its here YES

And he's being insanly chill about it
we can all do this (well most of us can), or at least train for a year or 2 hard and then do it. The power of the human mind is insane
@@jintymcginty1469 Absolutely. Basically anyone can train to get to this point. As you suggested, it's all about the mind. The commitment to training, long long runs, months and months of training hard and eating properly. The mindset is the hardest part to get sorted.
This is super impressive. The part at the beginning where Cody asked himself why his first response was “yeah right, I can’t do that” and that he realized that he could do anything he put his mind to is something that everyone should take away from this. Congrats Cody, amazing accomplishment.
I have a condition called compartment syndrome in my legs which makes running painful. About a year ago I decided I wanted to run a marathon, the most I’d ever run in my life was 6 miles. It seemed impossible given my condition but I wanted to do it. Trained for about 3 months and in the end I finished the marathon in 5 hours and 35 minutes. I took about 50 breaks, and for a guy this is well below average, but I consider it the biggest thing I’ve accomplished in my life. This video reminded me how important it is to push yourself to do things that at first thought you find impossible
@@daliguj221 super inspiring
@@daliguj221 It might be "well below average" for guys that finish marathons, but even finishing the marathon means you are well above average for guys in general. You did something that most people will never do, and you had more obstacles than most. That IS a big ass accomplishment
Hearing Kelsey’s yays just made my heart so full she sounds so proud 🥹
I ran 14 miles today which is the furthest distance i’ve done! proud of myself! hoping to do a marathon next year :)
You got this!
hell yeah man, that’s amazing!!
youre gonna kill it :D
update: signed up for two marathons, march 19th and may 7th. training is going great beside a small cold im battling right now! i am so stoked about my progress
@paige julianne nice!! glad to hear it's going well
Hearing him talk about how he finally feels good about himself and that he could do anything now honestly hit me hard :,)
Haha
Cody please.... PLEASE run more races, talk about gear, and training, and whatever else. As a runner and a fan, this video and hearing you talk about your experience just elevated your whole vibe to the next level. Thank you for this
Yes!!! I totally agree! I want Cody to dive more into the mental aspect of training! Super awesome video!
Even if you're not a fan of it, people should be telling him to do it more, to motivate and better his life and uplift others
kinda boring
What kinda gear would you recommend?
Hilarious and inspirational, it was easy to watch
It's so freakin cool to see popular content creators shine their spotlight on ultrarunning. It's an amazing sport that has given so much to so many people.
When I was 16 I was smoking weed everyday and was extremely uncomfortable in my own skin. I was 300 lbs and just walking was so uncomfortable.
I started getting into shape and saw several movies about ultrarunning but wrote that off as something for the elite. I just wanted to be able to run a 5k.
Over the next 10 years I learned a ton about diet, exercise, and how to be happy. Now, I'm 26 and I just finished my first 100 mile mountain race last weekend in 22 hours and 31 minutes.
I'm not posting this to brag. Hopefully, people see Cody's video, and this comment, and content similar and realize ANYONE can do AMAZING things. And the gratification and fulfillment that can be achieved through it is UNREAL.
There is so much love and personal growth and just all around awesome shit that comes from running any distance, but especially in ultras.
Thank you for making this video, Cody. And congratulations on the race!
This video is incredibly inspiring but damn I’m loving going through all these comments too. It’s ones like this that are seriously making me want to do something like this for myself
Well done!!
oh wow this was actually so inspiring to read. seriously thank you for sharing and motivating me
@@zoebologna582 you're welcome and thank YOU for the kind words! Motivating and inspiring others is what makes this sport so special and fulfilling. Go crush some goals! 🤘
thank you for this comment it is so beyond inspiring and even though you are a stranger i am so proud of you!!!
Don’t know this dude or this channel but have been jamming on the ultra stuff for the last handful of years and guessing I finally consumed all the other ultra content. It is W-I-L-D that he did this on that little training. The elevation to distance ratio is pretty gnarly. Can’t skip long runs, can’t skip downhill training (eccentric loading). Elevation is a mofo after a while. Great video dude and congrats. Most of us need to do more hard stuff and when you complete something that you actually thought was out of your capability, it truly changes you. Hope some of y’all get inspired by this and take the plunge.
i’m so hyped to see cody making content that he’s proud of, it shows through big time

this
💯
Exactly we need more of this 💯 Seeing how Cody acts when he does other shit is hilarious to me. Especially when hes wit his girl
this.
Love this Cody! What a vulnerable intro and amazing feat. Pushing our limits and challenging our beliefs of what we're capable of, although very repeated in the inspiration world, is really a transformative experience. Our minds shift and the experience eventually challenges us to be more open to life. We start to question what else we've been deeming ourselves not capable of and new opportunities are born, looking forward to hearing about more races :) Much love man - Thomas

Love y’all so much 💜💜💜
Love you Thomas
sponsor him 😂
Glad to see you guys here, you should do a video like this sometime! Seems like the kind of thing that would be right up your alley.
drinking brisk sweet tea during a marathon is crazyyyyy
and he has come so far since this race. so proud of you bro! was cheering hard for you last week at YOUR FIRST IRONMAN!!!!
Hey man, you mentioned "showing up for yourself" on the pod the other day and it really gave me the push I needed to start losing this pandemic weight. I'm already 25% of the way to my goal weight, eating better and back in the gym. Congrats on crushing this!
Hell yeah. Keep it up!
Congrats that’s amazing!!
This makes me so happy to read. Congrats. You’re perfect the way you are but I’m more than proud. 💕🥰
Fast brother, will get all that processed food outa u too, can cure diabetes and cancer in early stages as well, and great for losing weight
damn you heard that the other day and you’re already 25% done? dope
I had absolutely no idea that Cody was even capable of something like this. An ultramarathon is insanely impressive
nice pfp
have you not been watching for long?
cody is successful in like anything he does. also he used to be an olympic (?) level diver
Nice user name
Cody literally does fucking everything! Like he said lately he has been in a funk ig you could say but he’s always been like extremely smart and athletic not to mention very entrepreneurial. Like he’s just successful at whatever he tries it’s annoying lol
I ran a 6 mile race for the first time this year and it was SO FUCKING DIFFICULT
Proud of you! Proud of me. Can't wait for the next big challenge!
That’s so cool, congrats! I did a 6mile hike in the mountains of Greece this past summer and it was *really tough* , but what Cody said is true. Once you do it, you feel like you can do anything.
Please do more content like this. It was so wonderful and inspiring to see you come through.
he has a whole channel full of it its called cody trains!
I feel like people take this time to think of a roast to put in the comments, but man this is such an achievement so congrats cody you’re a top g
Fax
“Top g”
@@smallfryskilledge1550 fax
Bruh one real reply wtf
Top G? 🥴
cody keeping up with his good humor while looking like he’s about to die is something else
Is anyone here after cody just completed his first Ironman
Cody, this was masterclass content. I love your usual, but this was so inspiring and interesting. As someone who has been working towards an Ultra, your honest display and conversation really moved me to take the next steps. Hope to see more of this!
Absolute legend. Trail running is no joke, and that's an incredible distance too. Congrats!!
aww hey Con
Hi sweet Connor! We love a fellow Cody Ko fan
The way the Brisk iced tea almost broke Cody has me crying LMAOOO
I think you should do more man. Your mentality is looking really healthy. So glad you’re feeling good bro
did the half dome hike with my friends this summer, woke up at 4am, ended it at 4pm, 12 hrs with 4,800ft of elevation gain, doing such things like that are literally so rewarding and do make you feel like you can do anything you set your mind to, congrats cody
Literally could not imagine doing something like this. God bless Kelsey for marrying into this family of ultra marathon runners lol
This was actually mad inspiring and I’m going to start running again. I miss the feeling of having goals and hitting milestones
You’ve got this!
Literally same. I used to run 6+ a day when I ran track and XC, but when COVID hit I just fell out of habit. I got into weightlifting back in March and have been going strong with that, but I think it’s time for me to start running again. The feeling that comes from achieving goals and crossing the finish line, nothing can compare to it. You got this, and I’ll see you at the finish line!
and feeling like I’m better than everyone else.
@@tbarber742 i just started xc about a month ago after quitting softball (HUGE CHANGE) but this really inspired me to keep working hard. the first time I started running long distance I just felt like shit because there are kids running 6 miles faster than I could run 3 and I just felt like I wasn’t getting any better. coaches assured me they saw improvement but it was almost like i wasn’t good enough for my own standards and i got to a point where i couldn’t push myself enough to get to my own standards. running seems so simple but there’s so much going on in your head. our first race is saturday at mt sac and i am just now starting to feel ready.
w same
Its so amazing that Cody Ko was one of the rare few creators that was able to both become very successful and yet still stay humble. Fame changes people but Cody has stayed pretty much the same. Respect
Your commentary is so spot on for all ultras lmao😂😂 riding that high and low, cursing 80% of time, begging for uphill and then begging for flat lmao
First learning an instrument, now running a marathon, Cody in his fulfilling life experiences era?
th-cam.com/video/zGm-tDE6YEE/w-d-xo.html
Based on Cody's explanation of why he chose to do this:
It seems like Cody worked really hard to be successful but didn't find life as fulfilling as he'd imagined, so he got a bit complacent, unhealthy, and drank too much.
It looks to me like Cody is figuring out what is important in life, what makes him happy, and most of all what motivates him to be something better than the worst version of himself.
Whether I'm right or not, it is nice to see him trying harder at things and seeming less subtly depressed.
what instrument did he learn?
@@Lifebeam87 ukulele :)
he should learn the steel drums
Honestly, hearing him talk about the last leg made me really emotional. It must be such a powerful feeling to know you've overcome what might feel like the shittiest moments. I've never been a sporty person but he's right this is actually inspiring. And him talking about the lows helps me look forward realistically to challenging myself.
It made me emotional too ❤️
That feeling when you're totally, absolutely gassed is called a bonk. Bane of every athlete since the dawn of time. Sick video btw. Heck of a run.
This is literally so so inspiring. If this video doesn’t do well, fuck that. I would love to see more of this. It’s giving me adrenaline just watching it
Seriously I’m about to just go for a run rn janfjsjs
Cody, even if it doesn’t tickle the algorithm as much I would LOVE to see race reports and training! It’s honestly inspiring to see you work and I want to see more
YES PLEASSEE
This.
Completely agree!
I think one of my favorite parts in this video is the wholesome support system around Cody. The reassurance when he reached the second aid station just makes me happy makes me smile. I live in JT and videos like this make me realize I don’t take in the beauty that the world travels hundreds of miles to see even though it’s literally in my backyard.
can't believe this man trained for 6 weeks and sent this thing just to show himself up. very very respectable thank you for inspiring us
Holy crap dude, at first I thought this was going to be a joke but ended up being super inspirational. Great video and awesome accomplishment!
What race is this
@@liamreeves4946 why are you racist?
Omg Bobby is here 💜😄 you should run a marathon too out in the “wewds”
Love this video from you man, i've realized as I've gotten older and my life has gotten more "kushy" that I have to keep introducing new challenges or I fall into a terrible rut. Doing hard, physical things is the single most effective way I've found to live a happier life.
that's awesome! what are some examples of these challenges that you give yourself?
Leon! I just hopped to Cody’s video from yours about GenZ dummies 😂😂😂
Perfect combo 👌🏻
Also, I felt the same shame Cody mentioned when my initial reaction was NOPE. Now I’m all riled up about getting back on the proverbial horse.
Dat kushy lush life BABAYYYEEEEE
absolutely man
Whatever you’re doing it’s working! You and Mrs Lush look amazing, you guys have been killing it this past year.
This is inspired me to never do a marathon
same here
I know I'll probably never be able to run a marathon due to physical / health reasons, but I've started trying to walk an hour each day. This video was very inspiring and affirming in my decision to try to take control of my life and better myself, even if it's just one small step at a time. So thank you, Cody, and congrats on such a big accomplishment! :')
as a runner, the way you described this run was literally spot on. running is actual hell, but the feeling of accomplishment when you finish is so amazing and rewarding
“Just knowing that you made it through that, that’s like, fuck, I can do anything.” Nearly made me tear up. This was so inspirational and just awesome to see. Congrats Cody, proud of you for pushing through!
Now this is what I want to see. Cody isn’t just a good comedian who makes good commentaries and skits, but he’s also just a cool dude who is capable of doing things that offer some value other than humour. I wanna see more of the guy who isn’t trying to entertain us, because sometimes I think that’s more entertaining. Congrats on the finish, dude!
Cody complaining about Brisk Iced tea is so relatable. It’s so relatable. And you never hear anybody complain about how much doing shit like this sucks. I’ve been running and stuff lately and it does absolutely blow sometimes. Nobody ever talks about that. Why can’t we acknowledge that it sucks whilst still pushing ourselves to do it?
dude this seriously inspired me and I've been someone who has NEVER had any type of motivation to run. now I want to complete something like this
Make sure you make it a habit! Motivation fails eventually, but habits are hard to kill
Nah mate. Don't worry about it
PLEASE talk about training, how to get into this world. This spoke to me as someone who plays/played sports growing up and wants to try this but doesn't know where to start! And you make it funny! You finished strong, bro! 12/10
i believe most people start months in advance and start with short distances and build up to the marathon distance they want to do and they eat pretty healthy too to keep in shape
Just follow a plan loosely to start and build up a base. Because you can’t go from zero to a marathon. If you want to do a half-marathon, it doesn’t require as much training as you would expect to finish it, just follow a 12-week plan. Runnersworld has free plans available.
Start by doing 5km running and grow the distance from there, the most important but is walking really long distances.
Most local running stores have weekly group runs, also volunteering at races is a great way to meet people in the mountain/trail/ultra running world
@@mattcary8075 For this distance (and with 9000ft of elevation), you're probably looking at well over a year if you're starting from nothing. But you're absolutely right about slowly building up. Progressing too quickly will just lead to an injury
This is inspiring. I have been that same person a times, who hears about a difficult challenge and reflexively responds, "that's not happening". It's not just fitness for me. In high school, I had a dream of learning higher mathematics and becoming an expert in something. Life got in the way and decided it was no possible for me to pursue.
But recently I said screw it-- if I want to learn math, no one is stopping me. After all, I am privileged to live in a time and place where information is practically free. So I picked up the most interesting textbook I could find at my local thrift store and the other day I started working through it. It's only 120 pages, but it is incredibly dense and seems impossible for me to understand. On the first day I made it through a page and a half.
But I have decided to study this book for a little bit every day, until it is finished. And then I can go from there.
Cody Ko as an endurance athlete is a vision I didn't know I needed. "SENDDD ITTTTT"
Hell yeah dude. I LOVE this type of stuff. DON'T hesitate to post something like this in the future!! I recently picked up running and it's absolutely incredible. The more you post about positive life changes like this, the merrier. Props
agree
Agree!!! Now I want to pick up running lol
@@emilywerner4748 look up Couch to 5K program. It's supposed to get you up and running with progressively complex interval runs. I've got a heart condition, so I'm tripling the amount of runs at every step as to not worsen my condition, so feel free to adjust it as you see fit, but overall it's an incredible, publicly documented program that worked for millions of people. Hope it works out for you!
@@cw4861 thank you!!!
I don’t ever comment, but Cody this was so inspirational.
Coming from a man in the army who dreads my 12+ mile rucks and 8 mile runs, this motivated me to continue to strive to better myself at these things!
Seriously, next time I’m on a long distance run or ruck I’m going to think about this video and push myself even if I feel like slowing down!
Keep up the great content man!
@@Ade-ing I hate it, but hey free college 😀
@@Its_Hunter i was thinking the same thing lmaooo, 68w, what’s your mos
Hey brother, as former army, always remember the mind gives up way sooner than the body does. Also, give yourself credit for making it through those rucks and runs, I don't know if it's changed now but I remember them being paced; there was no stopping and resting or walking.
@@Ade-ing if you’re thinking about it you shouldn’t stress about it too much, a lot of units don’t even run that much, personally I’m in an airborne unit so the standards are higher. Like others have said though it’s all in the mind. You can accomplish anything with enough will power. Cheesy ik
@@cheeseballjohnson2368 13R, radar 🤣 kinda lame but I got airborne which was the main thing I wanted
this was really inspiring! im at a point of my life where i also feel the need for a challenge or something to work towards everyday. ive been binge watching ultramarathon videos but this one is really what pushed me over the edge. im going to start running again as well and working towards at least my first marathon!! thank you
im dyinggggg at around 12:40 hearing cody give this long ass monologue about peanut butter and brisk. i keep thinking its a bit and then i remember hes being serious lmfaooo
I've watched Cody forever, and this is without a doubt my favorite video he's put out. I love the vulnerability, it's refreshing to see him be honest about what he's been dealing with. This is a very welcome change of pace Cody, we're proud of you!
!!!!
Truth
period
Couldn't agree more!!!
the fact that he said seeing kelsey, his mom, and his dog at the finish line “made his world” is so so sweet. I need a man like Cody bruh😩
Just hit him up, he cheats
@@BMTubes touch grass homie and get offline
the 12th comment i saw. going viral
@@klove989 thank you for alerting the oak hall groupme earlier about the dryers!
I haven't been on Cody's channel in a while, but immediately clicked when I saw this. It's so special to listen to stories of growth like this from people pushing themselves to new limits. This is pretty badass. Good work, Cody
Same. This restored my love for Cody. 🥰
I felt codys frustration with the uphill and downhill run, god it’s the worst thing ever, I literally find myself praying for like 2 seconds of flat ground
I got misty-eyed when you reached the end! Seeing people achieve their goals is always such a pleasure. And so inspiring!!
10 hours of straight running is actually crazy if you think about it
literally omg
*th-cam.com/video/mCfYi7634rU/w-d-xo.html*
Finally its here *YES*
Right, I did 4 hours for track in high school and was on the verge of death
It wasn't straight running like a pro marathon, but still really impressive he only trained for 6 weeks and was able to complete it
@@jeffgayzose8129 what do you mean? Were there like often breaks or something?
that peanut butter and brisk rant was so god damn funny
The way I let a thug tear fall when you crossed the finish line! I know the feeling and to be honest I miss that sheer f*king elation dude! Massive congrats! This is one of my fave vids. I think I might just watch it back to back to get that motivation.
“Thug tear”😭😭💀 same
Thug tear ahaha, good one bro!
i think is so wholesome that he found something that improved his mental health and self steem, and that motivated him so much that he wanted to share it with others so we can feel it too. proud of u
Between stuff like this, Noel's videos about kart racing, and a lot of other content creators who usually just do reactionary "goof" type videos showing off cool niche talented stuff like this, I hope more and more people branch out and start showing their more inspiring habits and goals just like this.
This was a fantastic video, from someone who has run and hiked before and never really trained to do more than like a little for cardio, I couldn't believe the dedication and effort this took, and I hope you share more of this in the future, it really is amazing to see and hear about.
Pewdiepie is a great example rn for that
what’s crazy is i’m trying to be able to run 2 miles in 15 minutes and i’m really struggling but this really inspired me to not get down about it and that anyone can do anything they put their mind to. thank you cody ❤️
This looks absolutely horrendous and fascinating. I'm obsessed and impressed! Please keep doing this type of content! What an accomplishment, especially the change in mindset.
I feel bad I didn’t watch this video sooner but honestly really inspiring and I hope you do more amazing things
Same here dawg
Omg same here
I can’t imagine how hard this is, and you were able to TALK through it!! So impressive!
i would’ve passed out😩
Thank you for painting the true picture of an ultra. Not all cup cakes and rainbows. But worth it in the end! Congrats bud. Found this because of the ALGO
I don’t know if you’ll see this Cody, but this genuinely inspired me and I signed up to run a marathon with my dad who loves those kind of races after watching this :) Love this content and ty for the motivation!!
I love seeing Cody talk about something he's truly passionate about. This was so inspiring to many. Keep it up Cody!!!!
*Cody on top of Mountain with a camera in his hand
Cody: “This is pretty beautiful though, haw man I wish you could see it but the view in front of me is stunning right now”
That joke took me back to the old vlog days
shit was funny and infuriating
infunriating
Maybe I'm just hormonal & pregnant but "finish strong, bro!" had me in TEARS 😭🤍👏🏽 - the running community is so wholesome sometimes
Sometimes things are much more fun to recall as memories than they are when you're actually doing them. Good for you, that was a huge accomplishment!
I'd say only a small minority of people really get the chance to discover that they can achieve something like this, no matter the current health and mindset they have. When I realized I could run a full marathon without stopping, I knew that literally anyone could do it. Not a lot of people realize how empowering endurance exercises and training like this can be to every single aspect of your mind and life. There are so many answers to all of our insecurities and doubts that come out when we actually run 10, 20, 37, 50, 100 miles at a time. It's the best thing I've ever experienced and it's something that I will never give up on. Glad you took this journey Cody. No one ever regrets finishing a race like this. Not a single soul.
Honestly, even as a total stranger, I feel proud of you. Congrats man, you’re an inspiration to us lazy slugs.
This kicks ass.
Also, the "I wish you could see this view" joke felt like a weirdly hilarious throwback
Thinking new Cody Trains just dropped: 😊
Realizing it’s just normal Cody posting other Cody’s old stuff: 😔
Cool stuff - I also became inspired by people doing this. I just ran my first marathon a few weeks ago, and signed up for an ultra next May (55 miles). For me the marathon might’ve been the hardest thing I’ve done so far, but pushing through the pain was definitely worth it in the end. It becomes addicting to see what your breaking point is and pushing past it
Cody out here being real inspirational... He's out here showing that even elderly folks can still run 37 miles.
Elderly 😂🙌🏼
Based.
I have ran 100 mile races with people over 70 years old.
"you have to convince yourself every second to keep going" so well said. the mind games are unbelievable during long distance runs
the brisk iced tea part had me DYING LMAOOO
I loved this video and how real you were about the whole experience. Nice work Cody! You've really inspired me to start running again.
In may 2023 I will run my first 100 mile Ultra marathon in Norway! Seeing this was extremely inspiring, and I have nothing but respect for you! Would love to see more content like this Cody!
Update: The race has been rescheduled to August 2023. The race is called "Rondane 100 ultra-trail" if you want to check it out!
i’m sorry ...100 MILES???
I hope you make a video! It would be amazing to watch!!
@@eh7322 I might make a Reels Instagram, including some clips of the race:)
Cody. This is SO SICK. This made me feel so “seen”. This is EXACTLY how I feel with running. Currently training for a marathon myself. Thank you for the inspiration and smiles.
Same here, got an ultra marathon next month
@@Chewboom good luck to both!
@@vulee100 thanks!
@@vulee100 so sweet, thank you!!
Hey Cody I'm relatively new to running, I've always hated doing it but I've made a goal to run a half marathon. While I was preparing for it, I slowly fell in love with running. My competition is this Sunday and I'm honestly not sure if I'll be able to run all 21 kilometers. I keep coming back to this video for motivation. If you could run 60 kilometers, I can manage to run 21. Thank you for the motivation!
Cody, this is incredible! Congrats on such a wonderful accomplishment!
I have just started my running and long distance hiking journey again and this felt really inspiring. It can feel really discouraging to start over in something you were once good at, so seeing someone who used to be athletic take on such a challenging thing but push through the struggle is really enlightening. Would love to see more content like this!
this was literally so motivational. i wasn’t sure if i was gonna go for a run tomorrow morning, but after i saw this video it actually made me want to. thanks cody
This was so inspiring. I feel motivated to do something physical now and get out of this rut I have been feeling as well. Thanks Cody and congrats on completing the marathon.
we are so proud of u cody! seriously such an accomplishment. ur support team really is what keeps u going, so i’m glad kelsey, ur mom, & chili helped!! wishing u well!
This is insane, absolutely amazing how you just went for it and followed through even though you knew you were in a slump.
I always find it so incredible that people can do things like this. I'm disabled and I'm an ambulatory wheelchair user- when you talk about the "tree leaning" and how exhausted you have to be to get there, I can't make it 5 minutes to the end of my neighborhood without being that tired and completely taken over by pain. Like, limping, crying, don't know if I can make it home pain. That sounds so dramatic but it's true. Whenever I watch something like this I think "I should try running maybe I'd be better" and then I remember that not running isn't the issue lol But it's just so inspiring to see someone go "you know what, it'll push my limits, but let's go" "honestly, I was fucking pissed and sometimes I failed, but I did it". Like that makes me rethink other things. It doesn't have to be an ultra marathon, but maybe I can clean those dishes. I'm gonna be pissed off and it's gonna be painful, but it'll feel good when they're done. That probably sounds so stupid lol
Anyways I loved this video and it was really inspiring!!!
i’ve raced a couple marathons but this is VERY impressive cody, especially considering your 6 week build-up. love it!! good stuff man
This is wonderful! Not every video has to be silly. This shows a different side of you, and that you are a multifaceted person. More of things like this in the rotation! So proud of you!
I never thought I’d almost cry watching a Cody Ko video, I love this
this was much needed cody, thanks for putting yourself out there like this. this was super cool, much appreciated
didnt expect this to inspire me as much as it did. how dare u make me feel things man
omgg i love you💗
felt so good to see an old vlog joke resurface, “this sunset is so beautiful, wish you guys could see it”. all the more inspiring
I’ve been contemplating a body comp for some time and these types of videos are truly motivational, it just makes me want to work harder towards those goals. Thank you for being so open Cody these videos are the ones that truly impact peoples lives they’re so appreciated 🖤
10:55 I love that some optimistic dude just told Cody to send it and it helped a little 🤣🥰
