Trail Running Women

Melissa was one of the most positive and inspring guests we have had! She was a pleasure to chat with and her story is going to help many women go out and try without fear. You can get her book HERE

Melissa Rudolph started running on a whim when her kids' school had a 5k one Saturday. Nobody in the house was awake, so she figured it would be fun to try. Since then, she has done various distances and moved toward long distance triathlon— where she managed to DNF 3 times in one year. She recently chronicled this journey in her book "The Year I Didn't Finish". Melissa is a clergywoman and adjunct college professor who lives with her husband and children in Maryland.

Mireille was one of six women choosen by Falke Sport to run from Boston to New York 560kilometres / 350 Miles in 11 days - an ultra a day.

Mireille is an athlete, coach, community builder & public health professional based in Los Angeles. She aims to connect people to the communities around them so that we may all learn, grow, and thrive. Her runner's journey began after she was diagnosed with Lupus in 2013. This led her to gain control of her life and health while showing others that unfortunate circumstances don't have to stop you from achieving your goals. Now as a run coach, she hopes to continue introducing runners into the sport while advocating for diversity and inclusion, a holistic lifestyle, and the freedom to show up as you are.

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.

Isabella aka "IzzyB" continued to grow with the sport, increasing her mileage and started her own running club Ultrabuds. In 2016 she raced her first Spartan, and usually participates in 1-2 races a year in between ultras.

Professionally Izzy owns her own marketing and communications company where she works with running brands and race directors such as Injinji, Spring Energy, Nathan Sports and the Endurance Race Series, to name a few. She is also a Professor of Marketing part-time at two universities and advises senior experience projects.

When Izzy isn't running or posting on Instagram, she spends quality time with her family in both San Diego and Idaho, husband and two rescued pitbulls Dally and Romanoff.

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.

Part 2! Five women take on the goal of highlighting women's FKTs everywhere.

Today I speak with Dana Katz, Danielle Snyder, and Teri Smith.

Teri Smith is an avid backpacker, trail runner, cross country skier and mom. No stranger to operating in areas where women are scarce, she has been a co-race director for the Hagg Mud Ultras, a race photographer, and a ham radio coordinator for local trail races. She just completed a 188 mile FKT across the Olympic Peninsula of Washington this past summer with fellow Women Who FKT coordinator Stacey Lee.

Danielle Snyder is a coach and licensed clinical social worker and can talk through the mental barriers that women face. She creates programs help to increase athlete's mental endurance, resiliency, and positive self-talk. https://territoryrun.co/pages/danielle-snyder

Dana is a coach and unquestionably the most enthusiastic member of the leadership and the best at making this accessible to women of all different speeds. She has experienced the high of insanely awesome PR days, the low of ultramarathon disappointments and the extreme low of foot injuries lasting way too long. https://www.ultraufitness.com/links.html
