Episode 25: Backyards, Pedestrianism & Community with Daniel Herbert (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Daniel Herbert joins me for the first time on The UltraNurse Podcast after recently crossing the 100-mile mark for the first time during a backyard ultra. We get into what it was like going yard after yard in brutal heat, the mental side of pushing into unknown territory, his heat training and hot-tub sessions, hydration, fueling, and what he learned about himself along the way. But this conversation goes way beyond his race. Daniel and I get into pedestrianism, the history of ultrarunning, how
Every Step Is Evidence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"Every step is evidence that the story in your mind is not true." That line from Mark Dowdle after Last Soul Ultra hit hard — and this episode is a raw, fired-up reaction to one of the most riveting endurance performances I’ve ever watched.

We also get into the deeper side of this

Read excerpt
It’s my 44th birthday, so this episode is a little different. No polished script. No perfectly organized lesson. Just me sitting down and talking about the year behind me, where I’m headed next, the ultra-running drama currently taking over Instagram, and the moment I apparently became an “alpha bro ultra runner” with a coaching and podcast problem. I talk about the Sage Canaday and Kilian Jornet situation, getting called out by a random Instagram hater, why I’m far more invested in Rave Runner
Dare Mighty Things (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What separates the people who accomplish incredible things from everyone else? It's not talent. It's not luck. It's the willingness to step into the arena. In this episode, I dive into one of Theodore Roosevelt's most powerful quotes: "Far better it is to dare mighty things..." We talk about why it's better to risk failure while pursuing something meaningful than to spend your life safely watching from the sidelines. Whether it's signing up for your first ultra, starting a business, changing car
