The Serious Runner Youtube Channel and social media accounts satirize “serious runners” who take marathon training to the extreme. The videos poke fun at training obsessions, an over-reliance on gadgets and data, and of course, the lure of qualifying for the Boston Marathon.

At over 12,000 subscribers on YouTube, there is a small but mightly and loyal following.

Occassionally, the channel creates other content, such as a more traditional running vlog, product review videos, and race recaps.

The Serious Show started off as a spin-off from the The Serious Runner Youtube channel, using animation as a medium to expand narrative absurdity. However, it is quickly evolving into something that resembles “South Park meets Black Mirror.”

This was also a learning project, as I had no previous experience with animation.

This is a relatively new project, the channel is very much still growing, with the support of Patreon supporters.
