    Today on the Runna Podcast, we’re joined by Laviai Nielsen, a two-time Olympian and superwoman. 


    We talked about:

    • Her journey to competing in the Olympics not just once, but twice.
    • What it’s like training with her twin sister, Lina, throughout her entire career.
    • The inside scoop on Olympic Village life—yes, including the food and the epic after-parties! 
    • Her refreshing take on diet culture as an athlete: "The only diet is one where you don’t eat enough."


    This episode is packed with insights, humor, and inspiration from one of the most accomplished and down-to-earth athletes out there.
