Comedian Laura Green has been a lifelong runner who competed in middle distance at Northeastern University. She now lives in Boston with her family, and in her own words “runs a lot and makes fun of running a lot.”

Laura is the comedic influencer we didn’t know we needed, and her Instagram reels are so on point and relatable to runners that it’s hard not to sit and watch them all. Whether she’s poking fun at Strava, podcasters, or the varying personalities of different running apparel companies, you'll laugh out loud at her comedy.

In this episode Laura and I discuss the value of humor in the sport, as well as how it can help us have conversations about more serious topics. We also talk about:

How Laura gets the inspiration for her comedy
Why her varying experiences as a competitor, mom, and trail runner all make her so relatable
What goes into making a typical reel
How she has used humor to address subjects such as catcalling and harassment
Laura’s future projects

Enjoy my conversation and laughter with Laura Green!
