I had never ran in my life, I would even cheat and skip a lap in gym class. Thank to this channel and your new podcast I have now gone running two days in a row. I "ran" a mile both days, it was mostly speed walking tbh but I tried my best. Thanks for the motivation!
We're all growing together Cody! I love this channel! You're inspiring so many people to do amazing things, and you're being so supportive of everyone's journey. Thank you for the content and the motivation! ENERGY IS EVERYTHING
The impact this channel is having on his viewers and their relationship with health and exercise...I dont think he's even understanding how motivating and refreshing it is to see someone exercised with a bit of humour and honesty that it's not easy but it's so so worth it. Kudos Cody keep killing it as always. Choo Choo.
Cody and insanely chill got me through a terrible time and surgery recovery. I’d fall asleep to the sound of his voice 😭 even if he doesn’t know, he will always be so special to me and i am so grateful for the comfort and joy he brought me. You’ll get through this!!
Cody I think it’s great that you’re sharing this side of your life. Endurance training is one of the most difficult things you can put yourself through. Staying self-motivated for such a long time can seem impossible, and enjoying the little things every day is what keeps me going. Being a college cross country runner has taught me so much and I can guarantee you that you will learn so much as well.
Also this is like the thousandth time I’m commenting about this but Im really interested in triathlons and I’d love to see your training on Strava. I want to be an Ironman someday too after I’m done with my college career. I sent you a follow request on Strava already :)
He motivated me to add a bit of endurance training in my strength training programme. So I suffer doubley, but I would lie if I said it doesn't pay back tenfold.
1 minute and 3 mins into the video and you are already motivating! I don’t know if you read these comments but this form of content you are giving with these is soooooo helpful & motivating because it is REAL! Thank you
Cody don’t worry about stopping to get cinematic shots, the videos are only in addition to you working out. The video is secondary the grindset is primary, don’t let the video get in the way. Keep the grindset going, energy is everything
Thank you for sharing your failures as well Cody. Sometimes people on social media only show the best of themselves and, no offense meant, it's motivating you know that people you look up to aren't perfect either. Let's keep up the good fight!
This is actually my favourite channel at the moment. I am running my first 5k marathon on Wednesday and i literally signed up and started training for it when you posted your video about running your first marathon. You’re a great inspiration and i hope you’ll keep posting every week!
@@fatshady8627 Well it went ok i’d say, it was for the Run In The Dark marathon so it started at 8pm which was a bit weird since i usually run first thing in the morning lol. I did it in 41min but hey its done and it was a lot of fun. On to the next one now 🙌
Hi Cody! I’m on day 36 out of 100 of working out for at least 30 minutes every single day. I look forward to these uploads every Monday as a push to keep going. You’re killing it!
Unsolicited tips for shin splints from a runner! Putting your lower legs into a bucket of ice water after running helps with the inflammation a lot, as does acupuncture/dry needling. Also adding in some trail and grass running instead of road helps with impact and you can keep training. To address the cause of shin splints, are you doing any strength training/core stability? Shin splints can mean that your glutes and core are not working properly so your lower legs are taking the brunt of the work. Consistent Pilates helps heaps to improve this, if you don't have the energy/time to add proper squats etc. into your routine :) Good luck!!!
I remember in the AirForce when I was running 4 minute miles, they told us to "rub it out" at night before bed, dig our thumbs hard into our shins and massage from knee to ankle, seemed to help a little.
@@stefbruins7411 I used to swim in high school, but it had been about a year and a half since I swam at all. Week leading up I did 4 swims between 1-2000 yards in a pool lol. Open water is a lot different though!
Discovered you through this training channel a few weeks back - never realized how big of a TH-camr you were outside of it haha. I do have to say, these videos are what I look forward to the most to see in my subscription feed every week! That entire bit at 15:20 killed me hahah. Also, really appreciate the extra effort in getting the clips of you doing the activities!! Keep up the great work :)
That feeling of taking a couple days off and feeling like you lost everything is so relatable. Thank you for showing me that I am not the only one that feels shitty some days
This channel is fr so inspiring and has helped me start on my own fitness journey. I have an autoimmune disorder that causes muscle weakness and chronic pain. I know that regular exercise eases the symptoms, but it can be so hard to wrap my mind around the fact that I have to get through the aggravation pain of starting an exercise routine to get to a point where I don't have daily pain. I'm still only beginning - only working with 3lb weights at like 3 sets of 5 reps. I don't have a lot of mobility and it's really challenging. Your cody trains videos have really helped me keep the motivation & determination to push though for myself. Thank you for this & keep up the good work !
Wow it’s such an inspiration to watch you go through all these struggles! Pumping up your bike tires, picking the right spices for your oatmeal AND drinking cold water, all in a single morning! After watching this I feel like I can do anything! 😂
Cody, just know that the long runs the day after the long bike/brick run is definitely always the hardest workout of the week. Don’t get too overwhelmed with the full race distances because you will be tapered and will have the incredible energy of the day on race day! I know it’s tough but just focus on 1 week at a time dude and you’ll crush this race. I had the same thoughts last year as I trained for Ironman Florida but had a great race! You got this!
Another great video Cody. It’s so refreshing to see the struggle that other fitness channels don’t show. The up days and down days, it’s so real. We can see it’s tough but can also see your results improving as you battle through and remain consistent. Well done!
Training for my first triathlon because of this channel. I was 320lbs a year and a half ago and i have been getting right for the first time in my life (205now) but hit kind of a rut. Thanks for the remotivation Cody
As a sedentary person, I am so happy and proud for you cody, you can do this!! And so can I 🥴 i gotta get back to my normal sleeping schedule, prioritize sleep!!! Sleeping like shit is what throws me off 🥺
you inspired me to start running for the first time in years and after just two weeks holy shit i’ve already seen so much improvement. love this channel!
Hi Cody! I am a college athlete who has been recently struggling w shin splints and something that has helped me a lot is getting my calves scraped and investing in inserts that help the arches of your feet. Falling arches can cause shin splints and constantly getting my calves scraped has helped A LOT and being consistent with putting my inserts into every shoe is also a game changer! Just thought I would share before you are in too deep with shin splints! I love this content!
I can’t stop thinking about how much I am in awe of your dedication and positive attitude when facing tasks that are so outside of my imaging of what a human being can physically do! Excited to keep watching and to eventually watch you cross that finish line!
Hey Cody, these videos are so great to watch, thank you for making them, even on your bad days! As a long time sufferer of shin splints, here’s a few tips you may find useful. Firstly, don’t try and push through it; you may feel guilty for skipping a few days, but it’s better to skip and recover than to make it worse and be forced to skip even more. You can always do some other exercises in the meantime, like a swim or a cycle, something less load bearing. I saw in another video the other day you said how sleep is the most important thing, 100% agree, but so is rest and recovery. Never feel bad for taking it easy to let your body recover properly. Another thing that works for me is to run with my compression socks on. I know they’re meant to be worn afterwards to help with recovery, but wearing them during the run helps keep my shin muscles in place so my tendons don’t get as inflamed with all the impacts. I do look kinda dumb with these big socks on, but I’d rather look dumb than have shin splints. Also wearing the right shoes helps; I like to run on trails as opposed to roads as it’s a softer impact on the dirt, so I wear trail shoes. For the more longer term solutions, shin, calf, and knee strength training exercises are where it’s at. I use a resistance band and a step to do calf/shin raises, also knee squats. Shin exercises are so underrated, the difference is noticeable after like a week of daily exercises, just 20/30 shin raises a couple of times a day whenever you have a spare 5 minutes is all you need. Overall, strength training in general helps so much your cardio exercises, it’d be great to see you incorporate some strength training into your routines. Also stretching and yoga are criminally underrated, I guess not really though because everyone knows how good it is for you, but it can be quite boring compared to other exercises so nobody does it. Stretching is painful too, especially if you’re like me and you need to floss your nerves as well as stretch your muscles. Again though, the difference it makes to your running is very noticeable once you start seeing some initial flexibility improvements, much quicker recovery time and less injuries overall. Anyway, I typed this out during the video after seeing you had shin splints at the start, and you seemed to recover just fine lol. Keep doing what you’re doing man, awesome series, can’t wait to see how far you take it!
Cody I am a huge fan of the tmg podcasts and all your videos but this channel is by far my favourite content you put outtt, so cool seeing the progress and very inspiring! CHOO CHOO and of course ENERGY IS EVERYTHING
I know you feel like your content hasn’t been the best you feel you can do lately, but I think the way you’ve addressed the situation has been so cool to see. I personally have felt more connected to u and ur content lately (as much as u can be contected to something online but I think u get the point). I’m proud of you and think you should feel really good about the things your doing. Ur fans will be here for all the ebbs and flows of bein a human. Thank you for everything :).
Ran the NYC Marathon on Sunday in some terribly brutal conditions and just wanted to say that I thought of Cody and his training videos a lot during the race. They really are inspiring. Keep it up Cody!!!
Hate to be an armchair coach, but usually if I'm getting injured AND the motivation isn't there it means I'm overtraining and need to take a week or two of lower volume/intensity to recover before really overcooking myself. Always helpful to take a step back and analyze overall training trends to see why you feel the way you do during the sessions. Notice how I said hate to be an armchair coach and did it anyway. I actually didn't hate it at all it was pretty sick
Gonna be honest, I don’t workout much and I’m definitely not training for anything right now but I still watch every video because seeing cody do this and prep, is so inspirational and it’s motivating even for other things I am doing in my life. Really love these videos!!
I love this channel so much! I realised last night how much it is actually inspiring me to be more active, and I am sooo grateful for that! I was definitely in a fitness-rut after covid, so getting back into the swing of things just wasn't really fun until now. Now I'm eager to do different forms of physical activity again (instead of just monotonous weights). Thanks so much, Cody! Really appreciate this channel and all the positive energy it's bringing into my routine!
Hey Cody I’m running a 10k in December for the first time and it’s great to see someone struggling too but keep going. Obviously what you’re doing is harder but you’ve been very inspiring. Keep it up!
Hey Cody! You motivated me to get into running. I've always hated the idea of running, but seeing you so focused and happy is amazing and inspiring. I started a month ago with 1km per run (really bad, always a weights guy) and now I'm in the 5 km milestone in part because of you. Hoping to get to 10 km in another month. Thank you Cody! Hola y gracias from Chile!
I don't run or anything but I love this channel and wanted to share that I lifted 405lbs on Deadlifts for a PR. I'm 15yrs old at 160lbs BW. Quit going to the gym for a bit until Cody made this channel and got stuck in it again so thanks Cody.
You're smashing it, Cody! Consistency is key but ENERGY IS EVERYTHING! Keep pushing, the content is not only insightful but also really engaging for some reason, so keep bringing us along your journey! Good luck man!
thank you Cody for this kind of content, for the past two months i've been training for a marathon, and lemme tell you how good it feels when i see ur vids and know that i'm not the only one struggling, keep going wishing you all the best
Keep it up dude! I just completed my first half marathon a month ago. I'm training up for a full marathon in the spring. You're keeping me super motivated!
I know this channel is about training for the iron man and what there is to do and prepare for but cody has gave me motivation to go back in the gym 3 to 4 times a week, and RUN. I never would think about going on runs until watching cody do all of this insane exercising. thank u for giving people the motivation and content!
Have gotten back into running the past week or 2 and today I set out for 2 miles! Thought about you and your training and was so motivated! keep up the great work Cody you're inspiring many. ENERGY IS EVERYTHIIIING !
at this point it goes without saying that these vids have been amazing content and i’m so happy you're getting a lot of love. but what I have also deeply enjoyed is the editing bc that shit got me giggling. it really brings out your humor in the best way
Dude, as someone who also has started running/training, it’s seriously awesome seeing one my favorite TH-camrs do this. I’m excited and always looking forward to a video. This is amazing, keep it up!
Go Cody! This is so encouraging! I'd love to see updates on your progress, like a quarterly-report style with graphs and everything. You are inspiring me to start training for a 10 k run when I'm done my Master's degree. Thanks for the inspiration!
I am not a fit person and I don’t usually watch stuff like but I literally can’t say enough how much I love this. Seeing someone be so real about the shit parts and the great parts and being so funny while doing it. I am not an active person, and This inspired me to start doing morning exercises and stretches. Thank you and I’m so excited to see the next time you track your growth.
I ran a marathon last Saturday, and for the last 4 miles of the race, running into a 25 mph headwind, I just kept thinking of you on your stationary bike, screaming your lungs out, and I used the as inspiration to not stop. Got 3:32 btw, which I'm still pumped about.
Anytime Cody screams on the bike I just get this imagine in my head of him in the triathlon screaming on the bike and scaring the shit out of everyone around him.
These videos are just perfect for my 20 min stairmaster sessions at the end of my workouts. They really keep me going, when I’m tired and want to quit!
I really appreciate your videos even when you have a bad run. I had a bad run this morning, and i wanted to stop and go home but i finished it and even though it was rough it feels good to get it done. That something that i've seen you do time and time again and thats what it's all about :D keep it up you are keeping me and a lot of people motivated.
Never heard that quote "it's only quitting if you don't start again," and gotta say, wasn't planning on that phrase alone triggering an almost immediate perspective change for me. thank you for sharing
I look forward to these posts so much!! I've decided I eventually want to run a marathon, the most I've ever ran is 6 miles so I'm going to look into 10ks and half marathons in my city and hopefully next winter I will be more inshape to endure that long of a run! rooting for you cody!!
Every time this channel auto plays, i end up working out in some form by the end of the video. I know everyone here is saying the same, but it’s important to know how impactful this channel is. Keep it up Cody
Dude.. I was going to train now and you just uploaded. Coincidence? Or... the train just hit me? Either way , it's always fun to watch your Cody trains videos. Cheers from Chile
I love these videos!! I was really into drinking and partying and all that stuff but this really keeps me motivated to stop and get a hold of myself. Thank you Cody!
Cody! Love this channel. I’m a Mum of 4 month old a, 2.5 year and 12 year old. I’ve been at the gym and running since I was signed off by the physio and finding your channel really inspiring because it’s really honest, relatable but also funny and informative. Choo Choo from a 33 year old Mum fan, worlds okiest gym goer and runner 😎
you motivated me to start going on long walks! I have a lot of trouble due to past injuries but I finally gained the confidence to start again. hopefully soon I will be able to run a good amount!! thanks for the inspiration man!
I'm about a quarter of the way through my marathon training and I've been slacking recently. the first few minutes of the video were really helpful. Lulls in training happen to everyone, but you just gotta pick it back up. Thanks Cody
Cody the cut from getting ready to bike hard to you screaming almost made me piss myself. Also 5K is down 10K is down 10 Mile race in ireland in March followed by a Half Mary 2 weeks after and a Full Mary in September. Thanks for the motivation ENERGY IS EVERYTHING
Cody u have no word just how much these vids inspire me! As someone w a lot of mental junk I’ve struggled with routines for forever… this motivates me to do it even when I don’t feel like it. Thank you 💚 This channel is great but I’m still waiting for the toy trains vid tho.. false advertising

Tib Bar Raises can be super helpful with shin splints, strengthening the muscle in front of your shin will be night and day.

Ran the NYC Marathon on Sunday in some terribly brutal conditions and just wanted to say that I thought of Cody and his training videos a lot during the race. They really are inspiring. Keep it up Cody!!!
I look forward to these every week! Thank you so much for these videos they are so much fun.
Hate to be an armchair coach, but usually if I'm getting injured AND the motivation isn't there it means I'm overtraining and need to take a week or two of lower volume/intensity to recover before really overcooking myself. Always helpful to take a step back and analyze overall training trends to see why you feel the way you do during the sessions.
Notice how I said hate to be an armchair coach and did it anyway. I actually didn't hate it at all it was pretty sick
woke up monday morning, tired and unmotivated. the new vid gets me hyped and back in the groove, thanks cody. energy is truly everything.
Gonna be honest, I don’t workout much and I’m definitely not training for anything right now but I still watch every video because seeing cody do this and prep, is so inspirational and it’s motivating even for other things I am doing in my life. Really love these videos!!
I love this channel so much! I realised last night how much it is actually inspiring me to be more active, and I am sooo grateful for that! I was definitely in a fitness-rut after covid, so getting back into the swing of things just wasn't really fun until now. Now I'm eager to do different forms of physical activity again (instead of just monotonous weights). Thanks so much, Cody! Really appreciate this channel and all the positive energy it's bringing into my routine!
Hey Cody I’m running a 10k in December for the first time and it’s great to see someone struggling too but keep going. Obviously what you’re doing is harder but you’ve been very inspiring. Keep it up!
I also signed up for my first 10k after watching these!! Good luck training!
Hey Cody! You motivated me to get into running. I've always hated the idea of running, but seeing you so focused and happy is amazing and inspiring. I started a month ago with 1km per run (really bad, always a weights guy) and now I'm in the 5 km milestone in part because of you. Hoping to get to 10 km in another month. Thank you Cody! Hola y gracias from Chile!
I’m so glad you’ve been posting these on Mondays! Favorite way to start the week!
My friend and I ran a half marathon yesterday which we would have NEVER done until watching your training videos. You inspired us! Thank you cody!!
making porridge with coconut milk instead of water and then adding little coconut flakes is life changing
Cody, I just want to say ur the reason why I am starting to train again. CHOO CHOO 🚂
I didn’t realize how much I missed the vibe of your vlog-style content, cody really excels in this format
Honestly I don’t work out but these videos are so relaxing to watch❤️🚂
I don't run or anything but I love this channel and wanted to share that I lifted 405lbs on Deadlifts for a PR. I'm 15yrs old at 160lbs BW. Quit going to the gym for a bit until Cody made this channel and got stuck in it again so thanks Cody.
You're smashing it, Cody! Consistency is key but ENERGY IS EVERYTHING! Keep pushing, the content is not only insightful but also really engaging for some reason, so keep bringing us along your journey! Good luck man!
thank you Cody for this kind of content, for the past two months i've been training for a marathon, and lemme tell you how good it feels when i see ur vids and know that i'm not the only one struggling, keep going wishing you all the best
Keep it up dude! I just completed my first half marathon a month ago. I'm training up for a full marathon in the spring. You're keeping me super motivated!
I know this channel is about training for the iron man and what there is to do and prepare for but cody has gave me motivation to go back in the gym 3 to 4 times a week, and RUN. I never would think about going on runs until watching cody do all of this insane exercising. thank u for giving people the motivation and content!
just ran around the track for an hour… you’re an inspiration cody!!!
It’s awesome to see how far you’ve come. You’re inspiring to many. Keep it up and you’ll crush this iron man
Have gotten back into running the past week or 2 and today I set out for 2 miles! Thought about you and your training and was so motivated! keep up the great work Cody you're inspiring many. ENERGY IS EVERYTHIIIING !
at this point it goes without saying that these vids have been amazing content and i’m so happy you're getting a lot of love. but what I have also deeply enjoyed is the editing bc that shit got me giggling. it really brings out your humor in the best way
Ran my first half marathon this morning a lot of inspiration came from you energy is definitely everything ❤
Dude, as someone who also has started running/training, it’s seriously awesome seeing one my favorite TH-camrs do this. I’m excited and always looking forward to a video. This is amazing, keep it up!
Go Cody! This is so encouraging! I'd love to see updates on your progress, like a quarterly-report style with graphs and everything. You are inspiring me to start training for a 10 k run when I'm done my Master's degree. Thanks for the inspiration!
Was just rewatching these vids today. Choo-choo!
same
I am not a fit person and I don’t usually watch stuff like but I literally can’t say enough how much I love this. Seeing someone be so real about the shit parts and the great parts and being so funny while doing it. I am not an active person, and This inspired me to start doing morning exercises and stretches. Thank you and I’m so excited to see the next time you track your growth.
I ran a marathon last Saturday, and for the last 4 miles of the race, running into a 25 mph headwind, I just kept thinking of you on your stationary bike, screaming your lungs out, and I used the as inspiration to not stop. Got 3:32 btw, which I'm still pumped about.
loving the consistent audio cody!
Love watching these while i eat after coming home from a long powerlifting session. Keep up the great work Chody👍
Anytime Cody screams on the bike I just get this imagine in my head of him in the triathlon screaming on the bike and scaring the shit out of everyone around him.
Shin Splints - the ultimate "I'll do this tomorrow" pain. Loved the powering through!
So hyped to see some new trains, been looking forward to a nice new locomotive on my feed!
These videos are just perfect for my 20 min stairmaster sessions at the end of my workouts. They really keep me going, when I’m tired and want to quit!
i look forward to these every week never stop! so motivating- training for my marathon for april and youre giving me so much motivation
I really appreciate your videos even when you have a bad run. I had a bad run this morning, and i wanted to stop and go home but i finished it and even though it was rough it feels good to get it done. That something that i've seen you do time and time again and thats what it's all about :D keep it up you are keeping me and a lot of people motivated.
Yesterday I ran for 3 minutes and 30 seconds straight after I watched your video. That’s the longest I’ve ever run without stopping!
Never heard that quote "it's only quitting if you don't start again," and gotta say, wasn't planning on that phrase alone triggering an almost immediate perspective change for me. thank you for sharing
I look forward to these posts so much!! I've decided I eventually want to run a marathon, the most I've ever ran is 6 miles so I'm going to look into 10ks and half marathons in my city and hopefully next winter I will be more inshape to endure that long of a run! rooting for you cody!!
Every time this channel auto plays, i end up working out in some form by the end of the video. I know everyone here is saying the same, but it’s important to know how impactful this channel is. Keep it up Cody
Keep going Cody!! You got this!!! 120,000 people here rooting for you!! (I am not one of them, just making that clear)
Dude.. I was going to train now and you just uploaded. Coincidence? Or... the train just hit me? Either way , it's always fun to watch your Cody trains videos. Cheers from Chile
You have inspired me dude ! Thanks for being honest about how hard it is because sometimes I feel like I’m the only one
I love these videos!! I was really into drinking and partying and all that stuff but this really keeps me motivated to stop and get a hold of myself. Thank you Cody!
Cody! Love this channel. I’m a Mum of 4 month old a, 2.5 year and 12 year old. I’ve been at the gym and running since I was signed off by the physio and finding your channel really inspiring because it’s really honest, relatable but also funny and informative.

I'm doing my first 10k in a couple weeks, gotta give thanks to you man. love the message you've been putting out lately, it's awesome.
Never thought I’d be googling for a hat that says “energy is everything”
Everytime ur video comes out I watch it in the morning, realize how lazy I am, and then I go to the gym. This is a good thing love you Cody
you are so incredibly motivational with how honest you are in these. thank you
thanks codster you got me back into running and eating healthy after going down an addiction rabbit hole at the beginning of college. u da man
We need more MATT!!! absolutely love him since the intern days :')
you motivated me to start going on long walks! I have a lot of trouble due to past injuries but I finally gained the confidence to start again. hopefully soon I will be able to run a good amount!! thanks for the inspiration man!
I'm about a quarter of the way through my marathon training and I've been slacking recently. the first few minutes of the video were really helpful. Lulls in training happen to everyone, but you just gotta pick it back up. Thanks Cody
The best channel ever, I'm training right now too, and everytime I see a video pops up it reminds me I need to keep going strong!!!!
Cody the cut from getting ready to bike hard to you screaming almost made me piss myself. Also 5K is down 10K is down 10 Mile race in ireland in March followed by a Half Mary 2 weeks after and a Full Mary in September. Thanks for the motivation ENERGY IS EVERYTHING
these videos make me feel so motivated! encouraged me to go on a 4 mile run today, not very far but better than before!
Cody u have no word just how much these vids inspire me! As someone w a lot of mental junk I’ve struggled with routines for forever… this motivates me to do it even when I don’t feel like it. Thank you 💚
This channel is great but I’m still waiting for the toy trains vid tho.. false advertising
