Strides: A Trail Running Podcast

Joe Sierra | Pre Sky Island Trail Race Interview

Mason Hickok

West Texas has come calling again for Joe Sierra, who is looking for the finish in his second trail race of the year at Sky Island. 

Joe Sierra is coming off a Big Bend Ultra 50-mile finish from earlier this year, though he is also battling a bad shin splint. Despite that, however, Joe describes how prioritizing recovery and cross-training on the bike has prepared him for the longevity of the Sky Island 50k. Low and slow is Joe's mindset, especially to tackle the elevation gains in the race.
