Welcome to Week 6 of my BQ or Bust journeyβ€”and buckle up because I am DRIVING the struggle bus straight off a cliff! If you want to run with your friend who is really struggling in the heat and humidity, strap in for this one.

This week's episode is all about the REAL side of marathon training for the Chicago Marathon. We're talking:

🚌 Major struggles with heat and humidity during training
🏰 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm running the Walt Disney World Marathon in January!
🎒 Going for the Ride Challenge (trying to ride as many Disney rides as possible during the marathonβ€”yes, it's as wild as it sounds!)
🀯 Why back-to-back marathons are incredibly foolish... and why I'm doing the foolish thing anyway ⚑️ Fueling and hydration strategies that are keeping me upright (shoutout Fuel Goods!)
🎬 Pop culture catch-up with Scott
πŸ“ˆ Real talk about how marathon training is actually going

Sometimes training isn't pretty, sometimes you're melting in the heat, and sometimes you make questionable race decisions. But that's what makes this journey realβ€”and that's exactly what we're sharing with you.

Whether you're training for Boston, dealing with your own training struggles, or just here for the honest conversation about chasing big dreams, pop your headphones in and let's struggle through this thing together.

πŸ‘‰ Weekly "Run With Me" treadmill episodes new every Friday
