Oh, heavy episode coming your way.

Hi everybody, welcome to the Run Selfy Repeat

Podcast where we talk about life with a side of running.

My name's Kelly Roberts, and today I wrote this as a podcast episode

and ended up sharing the entire dialogue.

So if you are like, I don't want to listen to this,

you can go read it.

But this morning. So if you are like, I don't want to listen to this, you can go read it.

But this morning, this runner named Mary Kane, she very, very bravely came forward about the abuse she

experienced while training with Nike's organ

project. She and the badass Lindsay Krause at the New York Times, they created this, there's both a video component and an opinion piece. It's called I was the

fastest girl in America until I joined in Nike. I think you should absolutely read it and you should absolutely watch it.

There must see pieces of,

it's a must-see story because this is pervasive in just about every single industry and like I don't I don't know many people who are not affected by this but I led with this disclaimer like I'm not in a partnership with anyone I was I was signed by Nike I loved working with Nike because there are the first brand to actually pay me a living wage

which I think is huge because I worked with a lot of people and no one has paid me a living

wage so shout out to Nike for actually doing that, but my contract ended in July.

That being said, no brand could ever pay me enough money not to like speak truthfully

about women's rights issues. And like I don't, I have personal connections everywhere.

I'm still friends with all my people at Nike

and I don't think anyone would ever fire me

for speaking up and saying something needs to change.

I think that's why people hire me, TBH.
