The UltraNurse Podcast

Long miles. Long shifts. Real life.

The UltraNurse Podcast is an endurance podcast built for healthcare workers, shift workers, busy parents, and real-life runners chasing big goals alongside demanding lives.

Hosted by a flight nurse, ultrarunner, dad, and UESCA certified ultra-running coach, the show explores what it actually looks like to train for endurance events while balancing work, recovery, fatigue, family, and everything else life throws at you.

This isn’t a polished elite-athlete podcast.

It’s honest conversations about ultra running, resilience, recovery, mindset, injury setbacks, race preparation, and learning how to keep showing up when life isn’t ideal.

Why the Podcast Exists

Ultra running changed my life.

It taught me discipline, resilience, patience, humility, and perspective. It helped me navigate difficult seasons, injuries, stress, exhaustion, and the chaos that can come with healthcare and real life.

The UltraNurse Podcast exists to document that process and hopefully help other people navigate their own.

Because long shifts don’t eliminate big goals.
