In Episode #53 of the More Than Miles Podcast, physical therapists Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards and Dr. Kacy Seynders interview former collegiate runner turned running comedian, Laura Green. Laura started running in middle school and says that running has been interwoven into her life ever since then. She went on to compete in high school and collegiate track and cross country and since college has been involved in the running scene training for road races from 5k to marathon distances and trail races. She is trained as a physical therapist, and worked in this field for a while, but has more recently transitioned into a career as a social media influencer and comedian. You can now find Laura posting videos on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube and gaining sponsorships from various running brands and companies. During the interview, Laura talks about some of the factors she finds so funny (and easy to poke fun at) about running culture such as gear, race superstitions, running moms, and runner nutrition.
Dr. Kate and Kacy talk to Laura about some of her transition from PT to professional joke teller and what a “typical day looks like” in the life of Laura Green (HINT: the recap of this line of questioning is HILARIOUS!). They also talk about some of her upcoming adventures including her preference for races that are NOT the marathon. She talks about some of the marathon destination races that she has been sponsored to participate in and the locations that she says she could be bribed into going to (HINT: it is NOT Chicago or New York). They also talk about the very real phenomenon of increasing shoe size after having children and Dr. Kate and Laura bond over their often hard to find running shoe sizes.
As her YouTube channel description suggests, Laura is “Just here trying to get people to laugh at themselves more often.” Laura does not take herself too seriously and part of the draw of her humor is the often self-directed jokes and lighthearted look at running culture. Laura also talks about how she gets inspiration for her jokes and her brief foray into standup comedy. One of her popular skits is: “We’re all just running around…” We could not stop laughing during the interview with Laura and we think you will LOVE this episode too!
