The Life Outside Podcast

In this episode of The Life Outside Podcast, Cam chats with Cody Taylor. Cody is an endurance athlete who started in the world of ultra running in his early thirties. He soon discovered a passion for FKTs(fastest known times), and in particular, Unsupported FKTs on long trails in North America. In the last 3 years, he set multiple Unsupported FKTs on the Bruce Trail, IAT, and most recently, the Long Trail, out and back. Almost 900km with 41,000m of elevation gain in just over 17 days. No outside assistance allowed. Cody shares stories from his FKTs and what he’s learned so far in his outdoor endurance career. We hope you enjoy.
