In this episode of the Tribe of Runners Podcast, I sit down with ultra endurance athlete Cody Taylor to talk about a side of the sport most people don’t fully understand... Unsupported FKTs.
We’re talking about taking on massive efforts completely alone… No crew. No pacers. No outside help.
Cody shares what it actually looks like to cover hundreds of miles and tens of thousands of feet of elevation while carrying everything you need on your back. From gear failures and injuries to hallucinations and the mental battle that comes with being out there alone, this conversation gets into the raw reality behind these efforts.
We talk about:
What unsupported FKTs really demands both physically and mentally
Learning to respect terrain, distance, and conditions
The shift from confidence to experience
How these kinds of challenges change how you see yourself and your limits
Balancing big goals with life, work, and family
This isn’t just about running. It’s about what happens when you strip everything away and see what you’re capable of.
If you’ve ever been curious about pushing your limits or stepping into something that feels way bigger than you... Like an unsupported FKT… this one will make you think differently.
