Coaching is focused primarily on:

• 50Ks
• 50 milers
• 100Ks
• 100 milers

Whether you’re training for your first ultra or your tenth 100-miler, the goal is sustainable progression, smart training, and long-term consistency.

No.

While UltraNurse Coaching was built around the realities of healthcare and shift work, coaching is available to anyone pursuing endurance goals while balancing real life.

Many athletes struggle with the same challenges:

• limited time

• fatigue

• inconsistent schedules

• family responsibilities

• recovery management

The coaching philosophy applies far beyond healthcare.

Coaching begins with an application and consultation process to determine athlete goals, experience level, schedule demands, and overall coaching fit.

Because every athlete receives fully customized programming and communication support, coaching spots are intentionally limited to maintain a high level of individual attention and accountability.

If you’re interested in working together, complete the coaching application form and we’ll discuss goals, expectations, structure, and availability during the consultation process.

All coaching is delivered through TrainingPeaks.

TrainingPeaks allows athletes to:

• view workouts

• sync training to watches

• track progress

• communicate training feedback

• monitor long-term progression

Structured workouts can also sync directly to compatible devices like Garmin and COROS watches.

Communication is a major part of coaching.

Athletes receive:

• weekly check-ins

• ongoing messaging support

• one scheduled video call per month

You can message anytime through text, email, or TrainingPeaks messaging. Responses are provided as promptly as possible around work, training, and family responsibilities — typically within 24 hours, and often much sooner.

Every training plan is customized based on:

• race goals

• current fitness

• experience level

• work schedule

• available training time

• injury history

• recovery capacity

• strengths and weaknesses

Training is adjusted regularly based on athlete feedback, schedule changes, recovery, and progression.

At this time, coaching may include basic strength, mobility, and durability guidance when appropriate, but this is not advanced strength coaching or physical therapy.

The primary focus is ultramarathon endurance coaching.

Yes — within reason.

While this is not medical care or physical therapy, coaching can help athletes navigate smart return-to-running progression, training modifications, recovery considerations, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks.

Athletes should always consult licensed medical professionals for diagnosis, rehabilitation, or injury treatment.

Yes.

Coaching works best when consistency and communication are prioritized over time. Athletes should expect to commit to the process and give training enough time to produce meaningful adaptation and progress.

That’s exactly why this coaching exists.

Training is designed to adapt around:

• shift work

• overtime

• family obligations

• recovery

• real-life stress

Flexibility and communication are key parts of the process.

Use the coaching application form on the Coaching page.

After reviewing your application, we’ll schedule a consultation call to discuss:

• goals

• experience

• schedule

• expectations

• coaching fit

Not every athlete is guaranteed a coaching spot, especially during limited-capacity phases.

The UltraNurse Podcast is a podcast focused on:

• ultra running

• endurance

• recovery

• gear

• fueling

• mindset

• healthcare shift work

• balancing training with real life

It’s built around the idea that long shifts do not eliminate big goals.
