Isabella Janovick was born in Oceanside, CA and grew up doing team sports (basketball and swimming) then later got into extreme sports, snowboarding, surfing and skateboarding. After breaking her back snowboarding at the age of 19 and almost being paralyzed, she switched to a “safer” sport - running. Isabella began to run local road races and in 2014 met Nickademus Hollon at an outdoor bootcamp. Nick had just launched his coaching business and Isabella was one of his first clients. They ran together often, he introduced her to the trails and the ultra world and in 2015 Isabella ran her first ultra, the Lake Hodges 50k. This same year Isabella was also diagnosed with Ménière’s Disease, which causes hearing loss, imbalance and vertigo. 

Nichole's vision started to blur about half way in to her first 100 miler. It started in one eye and eventually moved to both, so she could barely make out the flagging or her crew. We chat about how she worked through it until she could eventually finsh the race, and in 3rd place.
