About the UltraNurse
Ultra running isn’t convenient. It isn’t comfortable. And it definitely isn’t built for people working unpredictable shifts.
That’s exactly why I do it.
Identity
I’m a flight nurse, a dad, and an endurance runner. I train before shifts, after shifts, and sometimes on very little sleep. Not because it’s easy — but because long-distance running builds something most of us need more of: resilience.
The Ultra Nurse started as a way to document that process.
This isn’t a medical podcast. It’s not about complaining about healthcare. It’s about chasing hard things while balancing real life.
What the Show Covers
The Ultra Nurse podcast is focused on:
• Training for long distances
• Fueling and hydration
• Gear and race strategy
• Recovery and sleep
• Mental toughness
• Lessons from the trail
From 5Ks to 100-milers, the principles are the same: consistency, discipline, and a willingness to get uncomfortable.
Healthcare shift work just adds another layer to the challenge.
Philosophy
I’m not an elite. I’m not sponsored. I’m not a professional runner.
I’m a normal guy who works a demanding job and chooses to pursue endurance anyway.
The mission is simple:
Prove that long shifts don’t eliminate big goals.
You can build endurance in the margins of real life.
Long miles. Long shifts. Real life.
