Project 365 has never been a solo effort.
From the first marathon to the 100K ultramarathon and now the Iceland expedition, every stage has been supported by people who believed in the vision before the outcome was certain. Coaches helped shape the training. Friends showed up on race days. Medical guidance kept small injuries from becoming big ones. Photographers and filmmakers documented moments that would have otherwise become memory. Iceland is simply the most visible chapter — but the foundation was built long before it.
This project is about endurance, But it’s also about community. No one runs 365 miles alone.

story and support
Iceland
Team
Eric Estrada
Eric serves as photographer, support crew, and pacer for the run, documenting the journey while running alongside it.
A lifelong runner who has raced on almost every continent in the harshest conditions, he brings experience, endurance knowledge, and steady presence to the team.
support/pacer
Liza Giles
From the very beginning, Liza has stood behind Cody with unwavering support.
She fuels the training with home-cooked meals, works through sore legs with late-night massages, and has been steady through every high and low of the past year - the quiet force making the miles possible.
Cody's Wife
Jimmy Picard
Over the final stretch of preparation, Jimmy will help guide training with a focus on durability, pacing strategy, and smart endurance progression.
With deep experience in both competitive running and movement science, he will fine-tune performance while prioritizing longevity - helping ensure the body is ready for the physical demands of crossing Iceland on foot.
Running coach
Boomer Bate
Boomer will be there not as crew, not as staff - but as a friend. His presence represents something deeper than logistics: the importance of not doing hard things alone.
Through long conversations, belief in the vision, and simply showing up, he brings the kind of support that steadies you when the miles get heavy and reminds you why you started in the first place.
Cody's close friend
Jill Coats
Jill joins the team to document the run as it unfolds across Iceland.
With a filmmaker’s instinct for capturing raw, unscripted moments, she’ll be following the journey mile by mile. She'll turning exhaustion, weather, and the wild Icelandic landscape into the visual backbone of the story.
Documentary Filmmaker
Taylor Brower
Taylor is helping design the fueling strategy behind the run. As a performance dietitian and part of the team at Skratch Labs, she works with endurance athletes to dial in hydration, sodium, and fueling plans for long efforts.
For Project 365, Taylor is helping build the framework that will keep Cody fueled from sunrise to sunset across Iceland, as well as ready to adapt when things inevitably get tough.
dietician
Jake lampe
Based in Ísafjörður, Jake brings invaluable local knowledge to the team. As the owner of a tour company in Iceland, he knows these roads, weather patterns, and landscapes better than most.
During the run, Jake will serve as the boots on the ground — helping coordinate logistics between aid stations, monitoring conditions, and making sure the team stays safe and moving forward across Iceland.
