Cody I rode in a 4 day bike ride to benefit a medical research fund, we ended up raising $2M+ and I rode over 330 miles to fight a good fight. I do not think I would have gotten as in tune with my fitness if it was not for this channel so for that, thank you so much!

kelsey in the outros makes these sm better

"Give them a kiss" Kelsey loves us choochies so much 🥰

watched Cody go from "baby hater eats vegetables for the first time" to "baby hater does family workout for the first time"

Can’t wait for the videos of him and Otis running marathons together

2 years ago i couldn’t run a mile without stopping. In 2 weeks i run my first marathon!!!! Thanks Cody!!!!!!!

I appreciate Cody showing us he takes walk breaks and that some days your runs feel so freaking hard even when you’ve way better in the past. Happens to me and I feel so defeated!

I got hit by a motorcycle three weeks ago and fucked up my entire body (which was in the best shape of my life) & therefore cant workout for months which really bummed me out. Ive been watching cody for years but just started following this channel while recovering and its already giving me strength and energy to motivate me back once i physically can. Thank u cody & kelsey for keeping me company while i healed

the choochie networks segment needs to be regularly featured

One of the keys with implementing strength training into your life is choosing an appropriate intensity (i.e. weights, overall difficulty, workout frequency). Strength training should not make you feel like you have to crawl off the floor at the end of the session or like you can't get your heart rate down. You've got to send an appropriate signal to your body to build strength, and because you're a new father + running so much, you should not be doing a crazy high intensity workout that has you gassed & sore for days. Think of it this way, if you're trying to build a callus on your hand but you just keep scraping it with sandpaper, your body will only ever be trying to heal its destroyed skin and will never actually adapt by building a callus. Just start small -- maybe a full body routine with 3 sets per muscle group for 1-2 days per week. Choose exercises that will help with running like lunges, single leg deadlifts, goblet marches, etc. Keep it simple and take it easy!! I highly recommend Mind Pump's MAPS Anabolic program to complement your running training! I'm a personal trainer & have gotten huge value from their podcast & programs.

Literally the opposite for me… I can lift for like an hour and 30 minutes straight and be absolutely fine, but I run for 20 minutes and I’m completely gassed

Spongebob episode all be silly as hell and then randomly have a shot like this 1:50

Cody! I ran my first marathon yesterday. Most of 2023, I had injuries back to back from other sports. I've never been a distance runner, but you and Russ Cook were big inspirations for me to give it a shot. I trained for 4 solid months with only minor injuries along the way. It wasn't perfect, but I was happy with my longest run being 18 miles as I had never run over 4 miles before. I was running well on race day! I felt great! I was on pace with my nutrition. I wasn't breathing heavy at a strong pace, feeling confident at mile 5. That's when I got some minor knee pain. I figured it was because I had little time to warm up; I got lost on the way to the start line and rolled up as my corral was getting ready to start. I ran through it, pace still solid, but the pain was getting progressively worse. At mile 10, it was pretty severe, so I slowed my pace slightly figuring it would ease up. At the half, my foot went mostly numb, and the pain in my knee was now radiating. I couldn't run without a limp or more than a mile at a time. I thought: you can finish if you wanted, but what if you hurt yourself? why should you push through this? just get medical to take you to the finish line, and meet your friends there. Sometimes, you need to prove it to yourself, though. I never stopped moving forward, limping most of my way to the finish line. When I had it in my sights, I picked up my pace. I ran as fast as I could through it; I felt like I was sprinting. I later saw the video, and I was moving much slower than I thought... I crossed the line, and they put the medal on me. I limped out to the exit of the course, and sunk into the grass surrounded by my friends all excitedly congratulating me. It was a powerful moment when it sunk in, nearly bringing me to tears. I did prove it to myself. I can push past what I thought was possible, and achieve something I could have never conceived of. Despite the obstacles and imperfections. Thanks for inspiring me! Choo Choo!

Just downloaded Strava for the first time and about to hit my first 5 mile run, right after I watch this video!

i got diagnosed with pcos and i can’t run as much because it’s a bit stressful on my body but i’m still trying to get into shape with incline walking and weight lifting so i’m still tuning in for motivation and supporting the channel CHOOO CHOOOOO

I always come for the exercise and stay for the cody-kelsey times

Although I’m not doing any sort of endurance training, I always look forward to the Monday uploads! Following Cody for so long makes me appreciate how down he is for doing things outside of his comfort zone, which inspires me too.

cried at work today and the only thing that calmed me down was the thought of going home and watching a cody ko video

MR TRAINS our races are on the same day, we ascend together!!

i’ve never been so early to a cody trains video i feel so honoured

I am so glad that I found this channel. As you can see, my channel name is Sara's weight loss journey because I had lost 86 lb over the course of a year and a half and I documented it every week. And then last year around may I started drinking and slacking off and now I'm back to where I originally was. I've been very depressed and it's been very difficult for me to get out of bed if I'm being honest. I've been following your other channels for a while now and I didn't even know about this. I didn't know that you and your precious wife would be the ones to inspire me to want to get up and move but thank you

Single most motivating channel! Reminds you that you can still push yourself and have fun, not forgetting that you are a human being with a normal life!

Going through a tough time and am grateful to have you to look to for inspiration when I need it most

This channel is unironically the biggest reason I’m staying consistent with my workouts, biggest thanks!!! 💪

It’s midnight here but perfect timing, it’s the before bed motivation for tomorrow’s session!!

the lil kisses at the end made my week! ilysm guys

Been working out every other day for over a week now! Most consistent I've ever been, i have nerve damage in my spine/legs & already leg pressing 132 lbs + adding more arm weights 🤪 ty choo choo

Just did my first half marathon last weekend !! Your videos helped me push through thanks Cody

love the kelsey outros!! she's always super sweet and you guys are so cute

BEST PART OF MY MONDAY

Love the ending !!!

As a liftermen slowly getting more into endurance running, I feel the exact opposite. I can lift just fine but 3 miles is hard and I’m slowww

I recently got back into running after training in high school, and just ran 5 miles and got runners high for the first time! Even when I used to be a runner I was never able to do it. Thank you for this channel man

Just gotta say these vlogs are really motivating! I've been getting back into running over the past 6 months, and just did my first 10K today.. Average pace of 10:36/mi which I thought was not too bad, and it was definitely all I had in the tank. I have newfound respect for the pace you hit on your runs! Hopefully I get there one day.

You listening to 1 song for 40 mins is me with Nightmare. It's my current fav for runs!

Hell yeah man! Keep up the great work! Last year you inspired me to do my first ultra and I went up to Canada to do the same 60K you did and just 3 weeks ago I completed my first 50M ultra! Thanks for the inspiration! Choo choo!!🚂

These new “Otis is sleeping so now we can snuggle” outtros are just adorable 🥰

Have been blasting Post Malone on repeat as well ever since it dropped

6am filming Cody is my favorite Cody😂

Let’s go baby 💪🏼💪🏼😂

Kels pulled a Taylor on us, “we’re having another baby… no” is her “I’m having his baby… no I’m not, but you should see your faces”

Cody finally gave me a kiss back

Cold can blister too🫡

"The Trailflexer" Cody's new demon on his shoulder on every run

Walmart online has a baby weightlifting bench with weights it’s so cute and a nice way to keep baby busy during your sessions so they can feel like mama/dada too ❤

I love the morning stares so much 🤣🤣🤣🤣

6:20 hey cody it's good to wear sunscreen (on your face at least) even when it's cloudy btw🤙🏼

Esssss geeetttt itttt

I just did the yamacraw 20k in Kentucky. I am from Alaska and consider myself in pretty good shape. “Let me tell you” It is a mean course. It’s got 3000 feet of elevation gain with tons of stairs and switchbacks. I was doing well despite this and maintained a sub 10 pace until the last 1.5 mile. Being from Alaska, I am not used to the heat and humidity of the south. I suffered from severe heat exhaustion and sort of passed out for ten minutes then finished up the race at like 20+ min pace for the last 1.5 miles. Reminds me of what Cody was saying his first ultra marathon was like.

Not to sound like a boot licker but my mouth literally dropped when I saw the canned LMNT… I love the power so much. Deadass so excited to try it.

LMNT is SO GOOD, I accidentally acquired some of the packets (orange) and I get so excited to put it in my water the saltiness is perfect

bro those mid-trail flex's are crazy

Thanks for the extremely catchy song recommendation haha you were right!

in january i started climbing bc i was feeling inspired, but then i fell and broke my left leg + ankle and sprained my right ankle, and now i can walk again but it hurts and i can't walk far. thanks codytrains!

Sick

Heyor Cordy! I have signed up for my first 10K run in 4 weeks. I have started to run last year, just to get a bit of change from just sitting around in the office. 2 days ago I officially beat my pb and had my first 10K longrun. The running hype is strong and your videos keep me motivated to reach goals, that I have told myself I couldnt reach. It's calming to see, that even an i r o n m a n struggles, but in the end its about pushing yourself. thank you and choo choo

Your weight lifting vs. running question: Your body is built more aerobic than anaerobic. Runners tend to be more aerobic (has to do with breathing/HR) Weight lifters (or sprinters) are more anaerobic built. You can train your body to be better at either or, but nowadays we are usually born better at one, not both. Ex. A long distance runner may suck at sprints but a sprinter will suck at long distance 🤷🏼‍♀️ nothing wrong just our evolution of physiology.

go Cardy!

These are the highlight of my Monday. We Ascend together chodsters

Watching this from bed, way too early in the evening, so I can get up and do a long run in the morning 😅

Cody, you motivate me to workout even though I have zero time to on the weekdays 😭

Outro kills me every single time 😂

5:58 you look like a werewolf in human form w your hair/hat combo in this clip. i’m here for it

Love the vids Cody make sure you recover tho my G. Easy/rest days are just as important as hard days. Could help with feeling run down. 🚂

Yeahhh choochooo

Landscape break lol such a dad thing to do

Love the lifting jokes

9:51 the “are we”

The horror movie style intro to the run scared me.

at the end i felt like i was seeing Otis’s pov 😂😂😂

not the kiss 😂

I thought you had a Mohawk wig on at the 6am part and were going to prank kelsey lol

Loll I love you guys

Hey Cody, I don't know how you implement stretching in your training but if you're having a hard time getting your heart rate down after lifting you might want to consider doing more stretching after your running cool up! If you start with some dynamic stretches and then ease into static ones it's a gradual decrease in intensity that lets your body know you're done with the hard stuff. Even just five minutes should make a difference. Choo choo!

The positivity in this thread is dope

I ran my first 5k this weekend. My time was absolutely terrible but I didn’t finish last! Which was my only goal 😂 thanks for the inspiration to try it. Definitely going to start training for the next one

I also watched Russ on diary of ceo while running 😅

Kelsey in the intro and the outro? We’re not worthy

Drove all the way home to get headphones and didnt put on sunscreen boy!

I am guilty of the mid trail run flex 😂

Did you put on sunscreen when you went back for your AirPods? I can’t stop thinking about it😃

give them a kiss!

I want to see a Cody Trains x Kraig Adams collab!

do you use anything to track your lifts? i use Hevy and it's pretty cool, i'd love to see your routines on there if you decide to use it

Hit a new PR for my 5K run.. I’m not super fast but I cut a couple minutes off my time (from 32 mins to 30 mins) and I’m super proud! Choo choo!

"I will always remember you Trail Flexer "

cody please host a marathon

I am the trail flexer, not literally but I feel like I end up flexing every run.

You should do a spartan race and film it

when’s the trail flexer merch drop?

Clouds don't really mean much in terms of sun protection. Still gotta wear it

But did you get sunscreen when you went back for your headphones I have to know...this open loop of uncertainty is going to make me crazy 🤣

0:22 cody asking her that 😭😭 real

watching while eating pizza

I've read that your immune system gets weaker once you take on a certain amount of training load. I usually get sick late in the season too

your eyes looked good at 4:40

I like ur hat

ok frat chodie cameo

CHOO CHOO

I listened to that song as per your recommendation and I wanted you to know that I did not care for it.
