5 years ago a doctor told Laura she would never run again due to a knee injury.  This year she has finished the NZ track season unbeaten!  She holds the national titles for the 1500m, 3000m and 5000m.  Basically, if she turns up to a park run somewhere in New Zealand, she wll smoke you.
We chat about her incredible season, her time in the USA on a running scholership, her partners interest (or lack of) in her running, and the heartbreaking reason she started running when she was 12.
