Short YouTube vlog-style reflection (by Matthew Kelly) made four weeks before a planned marathon. The speaker says they were confident months earlier about achieving a sub-3 (2:52 target) time, but now — four weeks out — they report a sudden drop in fitness (unable to run a 10K at target pace) and express strong doubt and frustration about completing the marathon or hitting the goal.
