Healthy Runners are Happy Runners w/ Cristina Nistler

Essentia Health ATC Cristina Nistler joins the podcast for the first of several installments ahead of the 2024 Grandma's Marathon weekend designed to help keep runners focused on the finish line while avoiding any common injuries and/or medical issues.
As part of her role with Essentia Health, Nistler works part-time throughout the year in the Grandma's Marathon office. She's responsible not only for helping lead the organization of our medical personnel on race weekend, but also to educate and inform our runners ahead of their race in Duluth.
Nistler will be every runner's biggest cheerleader when it comes to race day, but she's also hoping this mini-podcast series, as well as several other initiatives, can help ensure that she won't have to meet many of our runners in the medical tent this June.

Lessons Learned (Some the Hard Way) w/ Tony Loyd

Tony Loyd is one of our 2024 Grambassadors, selected from a large group of applicants to share his passion and knowledge of our race weekend.
Loyd began running late in life and, to himself, said he'd never do it again after running his first-ever marathon in 2001. Well, Tony lied to himself and as since on running and on marathoning -- he qualified for his first Boston Marathon in 2005 and has run several other big races, including the 2013 New York City Marathon.
He joins the podcast for a second time, this time to share some end-of-year lessons learned that he hopes will be relatable, and possibly even inspiring, to those prepping for the coming 2024 race weekend in June.
