## Resource

In this episode, Cody Taylor shares his wild running adventures and the mental skills he used to complete not one but two (so far) Fastest Known Time (FKT) efforts on the Bruce Trail and the International Appalachian Trail. You'll hear how Cody prepared for these weeks-long efforts and how he maintained his confidence and composure to set both Fastest Known Times unsupported, especially when things didn't go to plan. Cody Taylor is a former touring musician turned ultra runner who has gone all-in on every path he’s taken. After going from not being able to run 5K to setting fastest known times on two of Canada’s most iconic trails—the 900 km Bruce Trail and the 650 km International Appalachian Trail in Quebec, he’s built a story of resilience, grit, and relentless pursuit of big goals. HUGE shout-out to Cody for reaching out and taking the time to share his experience so we can shatter our next goals!
