Who exactly is Laura?

[vjscadence]

I know she's the voice on the podcasts, but who is the real person Laura??? Anyone know? A trained athlete? Just a voice over? I seem to be spending quite a bit of time with her these days so figured I'd ask!

Imoh Laura is a marketing gimmick, but hey it worked for me

Go on NHS C25K and watch the videos. At least you will know what she looks like. As for whether she is an actor or not whose to say.

I think she also did a Lloyds Tsb advert voice over where she went to dinner with her " best friend Lizzie " Cant be 100 % sure but the voices are almost indentical ...

There is a bit about Laura on the NHS website. Apparently she was a couch potato until she did this programme. Ah well, just so long as she continues to inspire us.

Oh, well this is all interesting. Thank you! Whoever she is, she did a terrific thing making these podcasts. They're fantastic and I can't praise them highly enough!!! I would never have done the running I've been doing without them!

No disrespect to Laura, but I'd imagine there were probably quite a few more people involved in the podcasts, Laura is the face we see (not literally!) and therefore relate to. Regardless, I never thought I'd be able to call myself a runner so they've done an excellent job!

W6D1 run completed! Couldn't have done it without Laura!

Laura is our Running Angel! I couldn't do it without her, on week 8 and I can't believe she got me this far!

Laura is fab but her choice of music .......

[ChrisChappel Graduate]

I wish she could come with me everywhere. She seems to know when to pop in and give a quick burst of encouragement. I have bee talking to my wife about the other woman in my life for the past 8 weeks. Not sure she understands my relationship with her

I do agree that her music choice leaves something to be desired

Wish she'd do a 10K one. Anyway, I love her podcasts and she's got me to the start of week 8 already!!!
