    Ep. 1198 Endurance Trail Running and FKTs with Cody Taylor

    How to Get Started with Trail Running: 5 Essential Tips for Beginners. Ever wonder what it takes to push beyond your limits into the wild unknown? Cody Taylor went from playing in a band to running unsupported trails for days — and he’s here to tell you, yes, you can do this too. Cody’s journey started with simple runs and grew into unsupported records across Canada, tackling trails with 50+ pounds on his back — unsupported, unsupported! He reveals the real challenge isn’t just distance or elevation — it’s the mental game: being alone, navigating unseen trails, hallucinating, and pushing through the discomfort. His secret? Preparation, listening to your body, and embracing the learning curve. Remember, you don’t need the perfect gear — just a good mindset and the willingness to start. What’s your next challenge going to be? Think big,  start small, learn as you go. The trail’s waiting.  Web: www.findyournewnormal.ca IG: @CodyTaylorPerformance IG2: LivetheNewNormal To support We See Hope: https://charity.pledgeit.org/climbingforchange/@CurtLinville Our Sponsors: * Check out Outdoorsy and use my code ASP for a great deal: https://www.outdoorsy.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Ep. 1194: Expand Your Possible Revisited with Steve Cannon

    Ultra endurance adventures: Steve Cannon's inspiring multi-sport journey – nearly 100 marathons, world's longest kayak race, Tuscobia Winter 150 and Arrowhead 135 on fat bike (including unsupported finish), 1900+ mile bike-to-marathon-to-ride, multiple RAGBRAI, Gravel Worlds, Dirty Kanza 200 (earning 1000 Miles of Kanza goblet), first to run around Lake Michigan (1037 miles in 40 days), first Iowan to finish 1000-mile Iditarod Trail Invitational bike race to Nome, Iditarod Trail 350, 200-Mile Fat Pursuit, and raising nearly $700,000 for cancer causes, as shared in his book 40 Days and documentary 1000 Miles to Nome. Steve’s story is one that’ll get you pumped to start planning your next adventure and eliminate all excuses as to why you can’t or shouldn’t. Steve Cannon runs, fat bikes, kayaks, and skis but he wouldn’t call himself a runner, biker, kayaker, or skier, however. He would most likely refer to himself as an adventurer.  If there was ever a person to come on the show to expand what’s possible for you, it’s Steve. Learn what you can and feel free to reach out to him to learn even more.  Our Sponsors: * Check out Outdoorsy and use my code ASP for a great deal: https://www.outdoorsy.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
