Winning Olympic Gold with Multiple Sclerosis | Lina Nielsen

Olympian Lina Nielsen explores what it really means to manage energy while competing at the highest level with multiple sclerosis. She shares how exercise has become a powerful tool in managing her condition, challenges outdated medical assumptions, and explains why showing that MS can coexist with elite performance matters deeply to her.

Oli examines Lina’s approach through the lens of data and physiology, unpacking her recovery patterns, genetics, sleep, and nervous system load. Together, they explore the difference between training recovery and true restoration, the impact of medication on sleep, and why practices like breathwork, journaling, and stillness are essential alongside elite performance habits.

Known for her thoughtful, grounded perspective, Lina also reflects on modern training culture, from regeneration days and sprinting as an accessible form of exercise, to the risks of advanced footwear for everyday runners. This episode is a nuanced look at balancing ambition with long-term health, and how sustainable energy is built, not forced.
