Stealing Souls and Winning A 100-mile Race with Courtney Rouse
Courtney Rouse again put San Antonio’s trail running scene on the map with a first-place finish at the Arkansas Traveller 100, one of the oldest 100-mile races in the United States. Courtney is beloved in the San Antonio run community, and with a portfolio that includes wins on the road and trail, a long-overdue conversation on this podcast. Weeks ago, Courtney finished first in the women’s race at the Arkansas Traveller 100 in 18:49:00; she also finished nearly two hours ahead of the s...

Moab, Mother Nature, and Unfinished Business at the 200-mile Distance with Shamzi Alkaff
Though Mother Nature cut short Shamzi Alkaff’s Moab 240 run this year, he wouldn’t trade the experience, especially since he ran the same trails that made him fall in love with trail running. Anyone who follows the trail running scene has likely seen the images and videos that came out of Utah last week during the Moab 240. More than 100 started the run, but none finished after severe storms and winds washed away aid stations and stranded runners. Shamzi was part of the group that ran this ye...

Toeing the line at the Broken Arrow Skyrace with Joe Sierra
It’s safe to say a love for West Texas flows through Joe Sierra. It’s where he has spent considerable time on trails—at races like Sky Island and the Big Bend Ultra—and the place that helped inspire the design of his run group’s hat. Joe has appeared on two previous pre-race interviews on Strides, but our conversation comes after Joe finished the 46K at the Broken Arrow Skyrace in June; a race that draws the elites, and for Joe, pushed him to newer limits. We chat about what drew him to the C...

Moonrise Kingdom Meets the Texas Hill Country: Endurance CAMP with Javian Quinones & U:LTRA EQUIPMENTS
Boy Scouts meets endurance sports with a touch of Wes Anderson and Rocky; that is what nearly 30 athletes will experience next month in the Texas Hill Country, courtesy of Javian Quinones and U:LTRA EQUIPMENTS. For weeks, Javian has been teasing bits and pieces of what campers can expect—from sponsors such as LMNT electrolytes and Rayo Energy—over Instagram. Javian is carving a unique experience with U:EQ and CAMP, rooted in nature. Part of the experience for campers is not just on the bike o...

Braiding, Trail Running, and Movement as Mediation with Amos Lozano
Amos Lozano goes by many names. From Coach Famous Amos to The Juiced Up Ninja, and, perhaps unofficially, the back-to-back 53K champion at the San Antonio Road Runners’ Rocky Horror Trail Run. But at the center of all the monikers—all of the accolades—is a devout student of movement; a curious student of routine. Amos is generous with his wisdom and knowledge, as evidenced by his commitment to helping other athletes improve and by the principles that guide his coaching practice. While w...

Desert Lessons from The Speed Project & 80 miles on the Mingus Traverse with Shaun Jones
From Los Angeles to Las Vegas and the desert of Arizona on part of the Cocodona course, Shaun Jones needs no introduction. He is a friend of the show and a vital part of the San Antonio scene. Shaun last chatted with me on January 2, speaking candidly of being “thrown off” due to a change in course during a 50-mile attempt at Cactus Rose. He would eventually DNF the race due to subsequent ankle issues. Shaun’s 2026 calendar began with the Bandera 100K in January, where he finished the r...

Chasing the Triple Crown of 200s with Aimee Warnke
Aimee Warnke's ultrarunning resume, this year alone, is impressive: First place at the HURT100 and first place two-peat at the Prickly Pear 50K. That does not account for all of her accomplishments in 2025, including a finish at the Leadville 100. The 2025 Prickly Pear was the event that put Aimee on my radar, not long before Strides dropped its first episode. Aimee's commitment to the sport is infectious, and it shows in the work she puts in. In this conversation, we discuss Aimee's appre...

Routine and Repetition: The Running Philosophy of Jimmy Segura
Jimmy Segura's mindset for running is rooted in routine, with a sprinkle of zeal. Jimmy sat down with me not long after completing a 100-miler at Rocky Raccoon in January—his first completion at the coveted distance. However, Jimmy is always looking for bigger challenges. In this conversation, we discuss how he was first introduced to running and how proximity to his favorite trail spot in San Antonio influenced his training. Then, we dive into the special nuances of how Jimmy trains fo...
