Taking shots of myself on a Canon 1DX Mkii

Question

I have a Canon 1DXMkii.  I'm trying to take a shot of myself, but if I use the timer and run around to the front of the camera, it doesn't refocus on me - it stays focused where it was when I press the shutter.
Is there any way I can do this with the inbuilt camera settings, or will I need to get a remote?  Does an interval timer refocus for each shot?

You can focus on the place where you will be, then switch to manual focus, start the timer and run. To make it easy you can create some mark on the ground to know where to focus and to know where to stay.
