Summary
Welcome to Week 4 of BQ or Bust — my weekly marathon training vlog as I chase down a Boston Qualifier (again).
In this 45-minute Run With Me episode, we’re talking about the emotional side of training — the part no one posts about. This week’s run dives into:
Accurate self-talk and how to stop spiraling
Why fear and self-doubt aren’t signs to quit (they’re signs you care)
How to show up when your body feels off or motivation tanks
The evolution of #SportsBraSquad — 9 years of taking up space and unlearning body shame
Why you don’t have to feel great to have a great run
If you’re navigating tough runs, self-doubt, or training on pure grit, this one’s for you. Lace up and let’s go.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Run Selfie Repeat Podcast. It is I, your friend and loyal confidant Kelly Roberts. |
| 0:11.5 | Hey guys. How we doing, gang? I just recorded the most chaotic intro to this and got about |
| 0:17.8 | five minutes in and said, you know what, let's delete this and start over, |
| 0:21.4 | because that's crazy. So this one's going to be a little less crazy and a lot quicker. |
| 0:25.9 | Welcome to Run with me. The Run Solve Your Repeat podcast normally is where we talk about life |
| 0:30.2 | with the side of running. And this is that, but it's a run with me episode. I'm currently |
| 0:34.6 | training for the Chicago Marathon. It's week four in training. And Scott, |
| 0:39.3 | my good, good friend, who is also producing my video series where we run with me. We record a run |
| 0:46.4 | every single week. So this is a run with me episode where we run for 45 minutes. It is brought to |
| 0:51.7 | you by fuel goods, which is a fueling and hydration marketplace. |
| 0:56.5 | They have a new quiz that you can take if you're struggling with your fueling to figure out |
| 0:59.8 | exactly how to fuel your runs with products. They'll give you a list of hydration and |
| 1:05.3 | fueling products that will help you crush your goals. Hydration and fueling can be really complicated and it doesn't need to be. |
| 1:12.5 | So we're going to spend the next couple months breaking it down. |
| 1:15.4 | But check the link down below for more. |
| 1:18.1 | But otherwise, BQ robust is back and we're almost a fourth of the way through training. |
| 1:22.9 | I'm trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon, aka BQ again. |
| 1:26.9 | I've been chasing this goal since 2016. |
| 1:29.3 | So it's almost been 10 years. We're in year nine now, although I did take a good three years off. |
| 1:35.8 | So I'm excited to be back. Training's going well. My injury is doing much better. |
| 1:44.7 | Still not 100%, but very, very, very big progress, which shout out to coach Amanda, |
| 1:51.4 | sports massage therapist of the gods. |
