Laura Green, a mom, comedian, and runner, shares how she started running at 12 through cross country, trained seriously in high school in New York, and later ran at Northeastern while majoring in physical therapy.

After college, she shifted to more recreational trail and road running, completing under 10 marathons, including a first marathon in Nashville to raise money for a friend’s wheelchair, and repeated Boston mainly to visit friends; she especially enjoyed New York City and the Paris Marathon.

She prefers cross country and trails for their playful feel and reduced focus on the clock, and says discipline and consistency matter more than motivation.

As a parent, she often “wakes up and goes,” uses electrolytes, Maurten gels, and recovery calf sleeves, cross-trains with Peloton and CrossFit due to hamstring pain, and emphasizes proper shoes, feasible volume, and that marathons aren’t required to be a runner.
