Cam talks about the release of his new book Undeniable, the cost of being an outlier, and why real growth starts where comfort ends. He shares lessons from a lifetime of running, training, and suffering — both planned and unexpected — and how that pain sharpens purpose.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome02:02 Why This Year for the Race?03:50 Discussing the New Book04:49 Defining Outliers17:12 Bodybuilding and Endurance Training25:51 Upcoming Race and Competitors34:38 Running Journey and Mindset42:08 Mental Preparation for Marathons46:54 The Value of Suffering54:39 The Drive to Keep Pushing01:09:09 The Importance of Hard Work01:24:37 Intentionality and FocusORDER CAM'S NEW BOOK HERE:https://www.amazon.com/Undeniable-How-Reach-Stay-There/dp/1250365945PRE-ORDER MY UPCOMING BOOK HERE:https://www.amazon.com/Go-One-More-Intentional-Life-Changing/dp/1637746210FOLLOW:Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 20% off FOR LIFEhttps://bpn.team/memberIG: instagram.com/nickbarefitness/YT: youtube.com/@nickbarefitness
Full Episode
All right, welcome back to another episode of the podcast. Today's guest is Cam Haynes. Welcome. Thank you. How are we doing? Great. Yeah, pleasure to be here. You're multiple days out from Cocodona 250. Yeah. What's the mindset like right now? We were previously talking about it, but what's your mindset? focused on right now being a few days out from a massive effort race?
I don't know. It's like, I don't know if this is a blessing in disguise to have the book coming out at the same time because the race starts on May 5th. My book comes out the 6th. So I'm doing this, stuff like this, podcast. I did Rogan yesterday, got you today, then Chris Williamson also today. And I don't know if that's, if it helps me or...
Yeah, if I'd be obsessing if I was at home and didn't have this. So maybe this is better or it's distracting me from and I should be focused.
I don't know. Is there extra pressure around the race given the momentum and kind of amount of eyeballs on you given the book launch?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of people who probably want to see me do bad. And so I got to think about that because for whatever reason, it's a weird time in the running world these days with the run influencers coming in. It's a big thing. Yeah. But there's people who will be rooting for me too. And all we want is... I just want to put forth a good effort out there.
And yeah, I hope my body holds up. And yeah, there's pressure for sure. But you're just saying it's been multiple years since a 200 plus mile race.
Yeah, many years. It's been like six or seven years. Why this year? Why 2025? Yeah, I think it's because...
If anybody says anything to me about like, hey, what do you think about this? No matter what it is, I'm usually like, sounds good. And so I think Speedland said- They want to have a couple of shoes come out, a road running shoe with me, a new trail running shoe. They said, what do you want to do around Cocodona?
We get you in the race, and then we could have the shoe launch, you know, because there is some highway miles there, so we could have both shoes. And for me, I'm like, oh, yeah, sounds good. Sounds like a good opportunity. The running the 250 miles part, I didn't really think about. Just the cool event and having fun and seeing everybody and being in the mountains for a few days.
