I commented a few weeks back about my inspiration to train despite being medically disabled since birth. I hate-watched these videos thinking the whole time how sickening it was that I “could never do any of that”, but HUGE UPDATE! I wanted to let anyone know, if they see this, I started PT and “train” twice a week, and now I can ride a stationary bike for nearly a two full minutes without stopping!! 1 minute and 54 seconds is my record!! Totally exhausting but I did it, and I’m really proud, and my PT even says “we ascend together” to pump me up. I’m even raising money now for my own research into my illness by doing a marathon stream! Anyways thanks again Cody 🫡💪
I know this is becoming regular for Cody but the fact that he's casually biking over 50 miles and just like eh pretty good ride is crazy to me like, GOOD JOB MAN!!!! YOURE ZOOMING! 🚴
cody's cardiovascular endurance is so insane to me like he just straight up rides the bike for 4 HOURS but when I have to walk up a slightly steep hill I feel like I'm being waterboarded because I am so out of breathe. Solely doing cardio for cody at this point
Cody, I ran my first marathon yesterday in San Antonio, TX (Run the Alamo Marathon) & I saw someone holding a “Energy is Everything” sign. Unfortunately I saw it right when I was running past them otherwise I would’ve given them the choo-choo signal. But it made me smile since I first discovered this channel right when I started training for the race. Thank you so much for the inspiring & entertaining videos you make & I wish you the best in your Ironman next month!
Cody thanks to you my wife only wants to eat oats and wake up at 4:30am now. Also, she's really into her male coworker who she likens to a locomotive in the sack. Cheers mate this channel has done wonders.
Loving the cat cameos every week. ALSO if you haven’t already it might be a good idea to measure your sweat rate before race day so you aren’t over/under hydrating!! Hyponatremia can actually be more common than dehydration due to overconsumption of fluids! Signed - an exercise science BS who’s now working on an MS :)
@@samshaw7087 okay at its most basic, it’s just weighing yourself in Kg before and after aerobic exercise. To get the most accurate reading, prepare for aerobic exercise by only hydrating, aka don’t take caffeine/pre/creatine/etc. Then weigh yourself in the lightest clothing you can (helps keep things more precise) but make sure it’s in Kg! This is important since 1 L of water weighs ~1 Kg. It’s easiest to do 1 hour of exercise for math purposes, but you aren’t supposed to drink water during it and I can tell you from experience that your mouth gets DRY, so it’s more comfortable to just do 30 minutes and multiply by 2. After time, weigh again and (if your scale was calibrated and you’re wearing the same amount of clothes), you should have lost around 1-2 Kg per hour, which would mean you sweat 1-2 L per hour! A lot of people lose more or less though, so knowing can help you track your if you’re actually replacing the right amount of fluid during and after exercise. I hope that helped :)
My knee was collapsing after my first half marathon. Super bizarre. It felt like one of my legs was shorter than the other! And it lasted for like a month. Currently training for my first full in May. Ran my furthest ever this Saturday. 15 miles! WE ASCEND TOGETHER, YALL.
@@vangoghkart452 I went and got some inserts and I used them for all of 10 days and haven’t touched them since lol. Honestly, I don’t know what changed but it just eventually went away. Rest and stretching. I ran maybe a total of 10 miles the month following my half. I’m two months into my full marathon training and have zero issue with it. I think my knee was just exhausted. #staysoft
@@rutherke41 this is so encouraging to read, I ran my first half one week ago and this is happening to me as well. I’ve been resting and stretching and icing religiously haha. Finally starting to feel a bit better but it’s super frustrating when you want to get back to training. just have to be patient I guess 😅
cody i've been trapped in this hell since your vine days and i've just gotta say its so nice to see you really feeling like yourself again bro the confidence (much like energy) is everything!! keep up the good work man, you're fuckin hilarious please never stop uploading on this channel - feel free to delete the other two. genuinely you're an inspiration, thank you for sharing!!
I absolutely hate exercise, I have no interest in races or marathons, but yet I still for some strange reason find myself so interested in these videos and find myself watching every time you post. It’s weird, but it’s kind of cool. 🤷🏻♀️😄 I wish you the best of luck with the race! P.S. Your cat is absolutely adorable and deserves the world! 🥰
Just finished a four mile run. You inspired me to start running again. I have completed two official half marathons in the past but the panerama depression hit me hard. I gained like 50lbs during that time. I’m now 25 lbs down and building my miles. Choo choooooo!!!!!
Hi Cody! Just wanted to let you know that I started training for a marathon around the time you started this channel & it’s been great to see you progress. I’ve had a numbing feet issue when running & I’ve tried numerous methods to try to fix it but nothing has helped YET. Seeing you work through some of the setbacks that you’ve had motivated me to keep going while still taking care of myself. So thank you for filming both the good & the bad. Heavily appreciated!
Ran a marathon in October and had experienced a lot of pain in the first few months of training- but when I stopped pressuring myself to be fast or look cool and ran comfortably w good form, my pain went away. Still ran the marathon at a time I was proud of and w no pain at all! Glad your pain is getting a bit better.
That is amazing! I didn't realize the length of the bike swim and run of an Ironman .. that is another level. Like the dedication. Wow props to everyone who pushes themselves to do these things because it's like to become a better version of themselves. I was always completely removed from that community but this is really interesting
One thing you may consider is trying to get as many runs on a surface other than pavement aka dirt or gravel paths/roads and grass. I noticed when I used to run competitively, running on soft surface increased my longevity and decreased my rate of injury significantly. I'd sometimes even settle for mind numbing loops on a grass soccer field (10 miles worth) just to avoid the pavement. Was able to survive 100-110 mile weeks this way. Just grab some music and zone out. Your body may feel sore if you start running more on soft surface, but I usually found this was because all my stability muscles had to work a little bit harder - still worth it. Keep grinding!
I've never run before, but these videos were so inspiring that I decided to push myself and yesterday I was finally able to get a whole mile non-stop!!! Not super impressive, but I'm really proud of myself!! Thanks Cody (:
Hey Cody I’m encouraged by all your doing here. I’m a D1 athlete with a knee thing that just came up and it’s so frustrating. Seeing you doing well with your injury helps a lot
These videos genuinely make me look forward to Monday. I've lost 20 lbs and dramatically improved my functional fitness and I'm doing my first Spartan race on Saturday! ENERGY IS EVERYTHING. PS CODY PLZ MAKE MERCH WE CAN TRAIN IN
Woo, go Cody! I’ve followed you forever, and this is now easily my favorite content. ALSO, for anyone starting or trying to get into running, I’m posting my weekly training plan for my first marathon on shorts. It’s literally from couch to marathon so great for any beginners, anyone recovering from an injury, or anyone looking to just build up strength sustainably overtime!
Cody……. My wife bought a stopper for our garbage disposal so the cats would accidentally blend each other up like you described… I thought she was crazy for fearing that but apparently she’s not alone 😂
Is peanut butter + butter sandwich a Calgary thing? Someone I knew from Calgary learned it from their mom too. Anyway these videos are so fun to watch especially with the wild weather in Socal. Love how chill and good these cats are with Cody holding them up for goofs. Thank you for making these videos and committing to working out while it's cold and raining!
Cody, i completely understand ur frustrations when it comes to ur knee pain! i was an avid running growing up from elementary to high school. I would run on the track team every year. running was my outlet. i would run 5.5 min miles. eventually i had to undergo knee surgery when I was 15 n it completely dive bombed my track career n leisure running. fast forward to when i was 22, another incident occured that caused me to have a diagnosis in my knee called rsd n another surgery. im now 27 yo n i have to carefully plan my running if i want to run. i haven't been able to push past an 8.5 min mile n i have to take the entire next day off of everything if i choose to run. it's very frustrating n using mind over matter tactics just doesn't work. sometimes the body really is injured n we have to accept it. but watching ur videos is motivating to do some type of physical activity day to day n continue to push myself to do what i can do on the given moment. ive followed ur other online endeavors prior to Cody trains but this is by far my favorite content. 💘💘
I’ve been exercising regularly since New Years and it’s all because of your videos motivating me. I watch them when I’m in the gym, ascending, and after I go on runs outside. I wish you nothing but health, so you can keep pushing yourself, and all of us, to be our best 😊
I started lifting again after taking a few years off. I'm not hitting any PRs, but I've been steadily adding more weight every week. Feels really good to get back into it
Just rode my first century ride last weekend! It was a good feeling to have it done and these videos definitely played a part in motivating me to train. I'm curious if you've had a professional bike fit done! If not, that would be a great topic to cover in one of these.
Just started working out again over the past week after about a year and a half - I had a bad bike accident a few years ago and it's been hard to be consistent since. Thanks for your vids Cody! You the real deal
Cody thank you so much for these videos. They honest to god get me through my weeks. I started running again completely because of you. You've no idea what difference these videos make
these videos always make me laugh and are just good vibes. i can relate so hard to the injury stuff too. hope you feel better soon also i tried granola in oats too and i’m not mad at it..
I’ve been on and off with my fitness goals for a while and it just seems to be some sort of bad habit. Coming back every week to watch Codytrains always puts a boost into my motivation. Cody’s stats always amazes me because I’ve never been in shape enough to do anything close to what he does. But everyone’s progress is their own and you can only compare yourself to you. Thanks Cody for that boost in motivation!
I love positive inspiring content but also funny. I decided to finally enroll in Taekwondo, after wanting to do it for 10 years. Thanks for inspiring my inner child, Choo choo!
I have been so lazy / not exercised at all recently, I but watched a couple of these videos over the last week and have been swimming 3 times, going to start some pilates this week and get back into cycling. Thanks for the inspo (+ all the comments from others in similar situations has really helped)
finally someone understands the elite combo of peanut butter and butter sandwiches i used to get bullied for bringing them to lunch in elementary school
I haven't commented on a RU-vid video in literally years but I WOULD ABSOLUTELY ROCK CHOO CHEES MERCH please make merch energy is everything we ascend together b'doats sawmon monday choo choo I would buy it all
4 hours in INSANE! I ran home from the gym this morning, 5.5 miles took me an hour i thought that was intense. Ur motivating me to do it again tomorrow
Cody! I am a college student and I’m currently training for a half marathon, but I injured my hip a few months back and am still having problems. I was just telling someone today that not a lot of things fluster or frustrate me that much but having this hip injury makes me want to stomp my feet and roll on the floor like a toddler. It s sucks when you’re trying to do good things for yourself and you have a whole plan but it feels like your body just can’t keep up. But it’s nice to know that someone understands what I’m going through. Hope the knee feels better good luck to you in the IronMan! Much love ❤️
i’m finally back fully at the gym and your videos have really helped motivate me. after i got covid for a third time my body basically collapsed on me so i’m not anywhere near the physical condition i use to be in but seeing u go through all these struggles and still getting back up pushed me to do the same☝️we ascend TOGETHER☝️☝️☝️☝️
