UltraNurse Coaching
Custom ultramarathon coaching for healthcare workers, shift workers, and busy adults.
Train for your next 50K, 100K, or 100-mile race with a fully customized training plan built around your schedule, recovery, work demands, and real life.
Whether you're training for your first ultra or your tenth 100-miler, coaching is designed to help you train consistently, recover intelligently, and pursue big goals without sacrificing the things that matter most.
Who I Coach
Healthcare professionals
• Nurses
• EMS personnel
• Firefighters
• Shift workers
• Busy parents
• First-time ultra runners
• Athletes training for 50Ks, 100Ks, and 100 milers
• Runners returning after setbacks or injuries
You don't need a perfect schedule to pursue big goals.
Coaching Built for Real Life
Most training plans assume life is predictable.
Healthcare isn't.
Shift work isn't.
Parenting isn't.
Real life isn't.
That's why every athlete receives a fully customized training plan based on:
-
Whether you're training for your first 50K, chasing a 100-mile finish, pursuing a personal best, or simply looking to become a stronger and more confident endurance athlete, your training should match your specific goals.
-
Shift work, overtime, rotating schedules, travel, and demanding careers all affect training. Your plan will be built around the realities of your schedule—not an idealized version of it.
-
Sleep, stress, fatigue, and life responsibilities all impact performance. Training is only effective when recovery is taken into account, and your plan will reflect your individual recovery capacity.
-
What has worked for you in the past? What hasn't? Your previous training experience, race history, and endurance background help guide how your plan is structured moving forward.
-
Not everyone has 15 hours a week to train. Whether you have six hours or sixteen, we'll maximize the time you have available and build a sustainable approach around your life.
-
Some athletes climb well but struggle with speed. Others have strong endurance but poor fueling habits. Identifying strengths and weaknesses allows us to focus on the areas that will have the greatest impact on your progress and race-day success.
No cookie-cutter plans. No generic templates.
Just personalized coaching designed to help you succeed.
