As one of your many fans from vine/the beginning of the RU-vid channel, it’s awesome to see you make content that inspires you. I still enjoy watching these even though I hate running
Loved when Kelsey saw how much he was struggling and just said “I’ll see you at the finish line, I love you.” Knowing that he had it in him to push through and finish. Having someone that believes in you more than you believe in yourself is beautiful. Well done man.
Oh noooo 😭I just started the video and after reading this comment, I already know I'm gonna cry! That sounds so beautiful and is the only spoiler that won't make me pissed! 😂
watching this after finding out that kelsey was pregnant at the time of this vid and cody saying that he got the motivation to continue running after seeing her makes me tear up!! so happy for you guys!
I wonder if that was also part of the reason he cried at the end. I imagine he would have been so overwhelmed and exhausted that everything would just come out
I was the one blasting Moderation 😂 so glad it gave you a good boost of motivation each time! Congratulations Cody! It was so fun watching you on the course and so crazy to have you in our small beach town of PMQ! So proud of all your hard work- YOU DID IT! YOU ARE AN IRONMAN!
Cody saying "what? you're beautiful" to Kelsey when she looked into the camera was maybe one of their cutest moments. Amazing accomplishment Cody you are such an inspiration!!
Gaur Caurdy!!!!! We’re all so fucking proud of you. We may not sleep like babies but we’re all sure as fuck crying like them. The way you needed to see Kelsey as your motivation and collapsed into her arms at the end. Ugh ilysm choochoo4life
This video actually made me cry. My dad was training for an Iron Man when I was six, and one day when he was training on his bike, he got hit by a car and is now paralyzed from the chest down. Watching your training videos always gave me anxiety because I was scared something like that would happen to you, so I'm so glad that you're okay and that you finished!!! Watching you cross the finish line was so inspirational and reminded me that I don't have to be so afraid :)
OMG, I am so sorry your dad and family had to go through that! I hope he is still around and fighting! 💓💗♥️ I can relate to your anxiety. I started losing the people I love the most from a young age and continued losing people my entire life, including my first fiancé. So now I am constantly worried that something will happen to my husband or my son's and mom. I feel like time is going by so fast, and grief is a life long thing that moves like the tide. Both me and my man have a lot of health problems too. I admire people that have it even worse than us and cab still push themselves so hard because both me and my husband tens to get stuck in our depression and anxiety, and we want so badly to snap out of that.
almost started crying about Cody’s Dad and the song oh my god. so proud of you Cody, it’s so amazing to see you grow and be passionate about this. see you at 50!!!
The way kelsey is there waiting for you and you told yourself to just get back to her and then seeing you guys at the end of the race made me tear up. Precious
it’s kinda weird to feel so proud of someone you don’t personally know. congratulations cody!! so many of us are so proud of you and so happy for you!! you killed it! choo choo!!
I lost my dad 3 months ago I’m 23 years old and for the past month I started training because of your videos, training has changed the way I Grieve it’s made my mental health a lot better. Today I ran 17km 210m elevation which is the farthest I’ve ever run. I wish I could tell my dad about what I achieved but I wanna thank you for your inspiration. On my way to doing my first marathon. Also congratulations on becoming an Ironman. I hope one day I’ll see you at another! Choo choo!!!
Man, I’ve started running half a year ago, and I’ve already ran 2 half marathons, it’s started because a girl left me. I just want to say that if you want to run half a marathon, a marathon or more, you just need to push. Just stay on it, just run man. It’s hard mentally I know, but it’s such a great feeling when you finish. I love that when you train, your body just wants to eat healthier. Just want to say that I’m proud of you and hope you’ll achieve all your goals! Stay hard!
My husband and I tracked you on the Ironman app and just kept saying that we are so proud of you and couldn’t believe your fitness!! #celebrateyourfitness
It's so sweet seeing all the fans that came out and recorded little bits and pieces of the run that end up making it in this video! So proud of you Cody!
I am crying at the Beautiful Day story! I’m running my first half marathon in 2 weeks, and this channel motivated me to sign up and keep going. I hope Cody feels the love the Choochies have for him and the joy that he brought to all of us. Energy is everything, choo choo, etc.
Good luck! I ran my first half last year and I'm about to do my second in two weeks as well!! There is no better feeling, let yourself feel the emotions that come up when you cross the finish. You deserve it!
I think the greatest part is how much support there was from Cody’s wife & parents. I can’t imagine doing this without people encouraging you, especially the first time
Really really loved that Kelsey was your anchor & motivator for that run. Such a testament to not only your mental/physical ability but also your love for her. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you!!
Cody you're living proof that when you set your mind to something, curate a plan, and turn that plan into daily executable habits - anything can be accomplished! Well done Senior Train Engineer.
I'm so fucking happy I cried dude. I don't know you, but I'm so proud and proud of everyone who's doing this. Gonna do this one day! We ascend together!
After 2 years of training non-stop, I will be doing my first 100 mile race 🏃in a week and a half. I’m absolutely nervous and pumped… your journey has helped me stay positive… thank you Cody! I’m either going to finish or break my body trying!
I don't know you but this comment made me gasp LOL 2 years of training alone is insanely impressive and shows your dedication. 100 miles is almost inhuman!! Good luck, you're already accomplished :)
So proud of you, Cody! There were also tons of us in the live chat for the finish line youtube stream. We were tracking and updating each other on your progress - it was a wholesome group. Shout out to Moe who had to work on Sunday (PST) and stayed up all night with us to watch you cross the finish line. We ascend together!
Proud of your brother. I ran my first marathon the same day as your Iron Man at the Orange Country Marathon. Finished in 3:37:08, super stoked. Thanks for training alongside me and keeping me honest and motivated!
No one understands all the emotions you experience until you do an endurance event like a marathon or iron man. Videos like this always bring tears to my eyes. At 17 I did my first marathon, at 20 I did my second, and I knew even before I crossed that second finish line, that I wanted to do a third, a fourth, and probably an iron man. When the time is right I will join the club. I encourage everyone to do a marathon!! You can do it! Great video
Idk why but I got tears in my eyes seeing you finish - so proud. I hated running so much - thanks to you I did 10km run and am not going to stop. Thank you for showing me the beauty in the hard things in life Cody!
I've always hated running tooo, like i stay active sometimes i dance around and stuff, but how do i get started with running? Lemme know what helped you
@@sholalove6478 I had been working out doing calisthenics and some lifting for close to a year when I got into running the fall (stopped in the winter cause of the weather) but I went from barely being able to run to doing an 8k run. Was gonna do a 10k but I got sick and the weather became bad before I could do it. What helped was accountability - I enrolled in a personal fitness course at my school so I was forced to do running, and I liked it. I'd reccomend finding a friend or someone online to keep each other motivated and whatnot. Also, just going out and doing it works. Don't push it off to another day or weekend or whatever, just set a day, go out, and do it. Don't expect to be good, start with a mix of walking and running and slowly walk less during your runs. Stay consistent and you'll see results! Good luck
@@randomman3thank youuu, I want to get started on my first run after watching Cody’s videos but I’m super unfit at this moment, have been on the inside of a gym once my whole life lol but your comment is inspiring because it sounds doable. Thank you kind stranger 🫱🏼🫲🏽
My mom and I watched the tiktok your dad posted of the day and we were amazed at the clip of you finishing how you just looked perfectly fine, no sweat, as good as ever, so it’s interesting to hear how much you were struggling. I think that’s what people love so much about this channel is that you’re open about how much this stuff sucks, but you still do it. I think a lot of people that make it look easy discourage people because people see it and think “well when I run, bike, etc I wanna die the whole time, I could never be where he is” but as weird as it sounds it’s helpful to know you suffer just as much as anyone lol, but of course also make it clear how rewarding it is at the end of the day.
What are the odds that the same song would play? That's crazy. It was so awesome to watch you train over the last year-ish. I actually bought a cycle again because of your videos. You go dude. Also, I love how loud the love you and Kelsey have for each other. Fantastic video Cody.
This made me so emotional lmao. I remember not being interested in watching the Cody Trains channel because I'm just not athletic so I didn't think the content would be for me. So I am honestly so stunned at how much you documenting your journey has affected me. I am so inspired by your hard work, sacrifice, and dedication! Congratulations man you are a freaking legend!! also #kelseyiswifeygoals we love a supportive wifey.
I just cried watching this, i think it's so easy to do these races and feel alone in your experience, but my last half ironman I similarly messed up my nutrition and felt awful, and hearing your story was so cathartic. Just a reminder of, "but we still finished the race" kind of energy. Much love
It’s so heartwarming to see Kelsey be so supportive of helping Cody break his crippling cocaine addiction. Hopefully he can set a goal to do an ultra iron man with no lines of coke at the water tents
I was unexpectedly emotional at moments while watching this. It’s super awesome to see someone work hard and accomplish something most people would never even consider doing given the commitment and grueling nature of the event. Great job, man!
Keeping up with this on the app was awesome! Seeing him cross the finish line was so cool, and everyone in the chat was pumped not only for Cody but everyone else too. What a dope community!!!
Wow Cody. I am so proud of you. The beautiful day story made me tear up and “gaur caurdy” made me laugh. Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey. Can’t wait to see what comes next!!
Wow the “beautiful day by u2” story about your dad is so incredible 🤯 congratulations on all your hard work, Cody! I found your main channel recently and I’ve been binge watching all of your videos lol, I love your sense of humor and the way you express your thoughts. Your iron man journey is super inspiring!
Also, if you care at all about numerology, your finish time with three 3’s is actually really cool. It’s said to symbolize “setting plans into action and letting your personal strength be the guide; trusting yourself and putting thought into your choices”. ❤
That’s why watching you achieve new things is so motivating. You don’t sugar coat things. You keep it so real and relatable. Knowing that it sucks but manageable is important, and thank you for sharing your true thoughts!
What an amazing venture it’s been to be able to follow you along this journey. Thank you for taking us with you & congratulations on all your hard work ❤
even though we’ve never met you, we’re all incredibly proud of you 🫶 so happy for you and this channel has been such an inspiration for SO many people.
i cried when i saw that you had finished the race on the app!! it’s just an absolutely unbelievable accomplishment and a testament to human capabilities and resilience. i teared up throughout that whole next day every time i thought about it too, that humans are just like this, always striving to push physical and mental boundaries. and the testament to community, all the people who supported you either online or in person is so cool. thank you for sharing your experience
I cried watching this my parents and I don’t have a good relationship so seeing him do this with his parents and explaining the memories made me very emotional.
it's so incredible to see you put your mind to something & see it out to completion & do so well !!! you really went from being kinda down on yourself with things, drinking a lot during quarantine (no shame, we all did) to training for and completing a whole ass ironman !!! 🥳 CONGRATS DUDE WE ARE ALL SO PROUD OF YOU !!!!
So fucking proud of you!!! Made me tear up seeing everyone cheer for you and so incredible that your parents were with you, absolute beasts! Eat all the treats and rest well you Ironman you!! I’m also so excited to hear you’ll be keeping the channel going, you’ve created such an inspiring and positive community in such a short amount of time. Choo choo!!
