MStefano Running

MStefano Running is a group of friends that went outside their comfort zone in 2012 and started training to run in fun runs as well as mud runs and other events. We urge others to get off the couch and go for a run or even a walk. Exercise is great for the mind and body. We hope you enjoy listening to our adventures and consider trying one for yourself.

2023/12/18

For our last regular episode of the year we wanted to have a guest on to talk about the Spartan World Championships in Abu Dhabi! We wanted a foreign athlete on the show but were worried about potential language barriers. When we saw that Nikolaj Dam took third place in the beast, was on the Danish team with Ida and Leon who took third, and participated in the 3K we were excited to reach out to him! We discuss his start in OCR, his successful weekend in Abu Dhabi, thoughts on the 3K format,

This week we going hybrid and are giving some love to the Deka World Championships in Texas that happened last weekend! While hybrid racing isn't a focus for this show or a big passion for us personally, we wanted to switch gears for a bit and hear more about this big long weekend event. Kevin Gregory not only won the Deka Strong but also won 4 different team events with one of them creating a new world record! He has an extensive history in obstacle course racing but has really found his niche in

2023/12/03

Friend of the show Nick Gagnon set out to hike the appalachian trail earlier this year! Many listeners will remember us mentioning both his start and completion in quick news during previous episodes but only patreon supporters knew that I interviewed him back in October! It was great catching up with our Canadian friend and learning about his months long adventure where he perservered through barriers such as weather, overpacking, assault, animals, a couple thousand miles, and a whole lot of

2023/11/05

Back in Palmerton we were able to meet Manuel Dufaux and interview him between waves at the 3K series race. Now that he won the Spartan North American series we were more than excited to have him on for his own episode! We talk about his motivation to take on the Spartan 3K series, what stood out most for each event in the series, how he felt about winning the series overall, his experience at OCRWC, the importance of recovery as an older athlete, and the sacrifices and focus needed to do well

Chris is the vice president of product for Tough Mudder/Spartan Race as well as the race director for the most epic 24 hour OCR that we all know as World's Toughest Mudder!

2023/10/23

With all of the big changes that Spartan has announced regarding the combining of elite and age group waves (if you aren't all caught up there is a great Q and A here) we figured that it would be good to have an athlete on the show who has strattled the line of age group and elite over the years. We have been wanting to have Cole DeRosa on the show for a while since he is a pretty big name in the competitive community and seems like a genuinely good guy when heard on other shows over the years like

We wanted to have at least one more episode on the OCRWC weekend and we were hoping to have an athlete on the show representing Europe (since there weren't as many as previous years)! Signy Karoline Kolsto is from Norway and has somewhat recently made the jump from age group to elite after having pretty impressive results quickly in the sport. She was in Belgium to compete in the first FISO OCR World Championships but we primarily focus on Spartan Race's OCRWC. She took 7th in the 3K, 5th in the

In the year where there are two OCRWCs I figured it would be great to hear from someone who went to compete in both of them! Ian Hosek has been a prominent member of USAOCR for a while now and he made the trip over to Belgium to compete in the first FISO OCR World Championships. More recently he competed in Spartan Race's OCRWC (man that's going to take some adjusting to) and took 2nd in the 3K, 2nd in the 15K, his men's relay team took 1st, and his coed team also took 1st!

This year may have had FISO's first OCR World Championships but we still love Adventurey's weekend long OCRWC event as well! The past couple of years we have had an episode before the event as a way to build up more anticipation for it, 2021 we had Veejay Jones on the show before event weekend, and last year we had Fran Chiorando on! Of course there was the news that came out about Spartan Race's aquisition of the event so we figured that Adrian Bijanada would be great to both answer community

Admittedly, we were unsure how the first FISO OCR Championships would go after their history of not being able to put on a world championship event for years. That being said the number of incredible athletes that showed up to Belgium to compete made this an incredible World Championship event! When looking through the results Gian Maria Savani stood out as both the winner of the short course, runner up of the standard course, and an athlete that we didn't know as much about. We reached out to

Many of the OCR community from back in the day remember Dustin Dorough! Fast talker, excellent motivational speeches, and tearaway shorts ring a bell? He's worked for Spartan Race, Terrain Race, Bonefrog, and more over the years so we start off briefly touching on his history in OCR. For more of an in depth discussion though we recommend OCRWC Podcast's episode with him here! Much more recently Dustin completed an epic adventure journeying from the United Kingdom to Iraq on his motorcyle for a

Spartan Race had their Kids World Championship in the Bahamas this year but there didn't seem to be much talk about it. Athletes regardless of their age work hard to do what they do so we reached out to one of the winners of the weekend! Savanna Salinas won for the girls 12-14 age group and has a pretty impressive background in ninja! She completed her first half marathon at the age of 6 and her first triathalon at the age of 5! Despite these extensive accomplishments she remains humble and we

This weekend saw the return of Bonefrog and we wanted to hear more about it! The winner for the women was Melia Ochsner so we quickly reached out to her! We discuss the behind-the-scenes influence she has with the obstacles from American Ninja Warrior, her opinions on Star Wars (the newly released Disney+ shows and the OG movies), her last minute decision to signup for Bonefrog and her strategy for racing with friends - first lap for competition and the second lap is for fun.

Lisa Musacchio is a name that has been mentioned on the show often when reviewing podiums in our quick news segment! We only more recently noticed just how dominant she has been with her winning the Palmerton Spartan Super and Sprint, Asheville Spartan Super and Sprint, as well as the West Virginia Spartan Beast all in the past couple months! We discuss her progression as an athlete, her full time job as a teacher, thoughts on trying a Savage Race, how she uses music in her training, the importance

Another episode giving some well deserved love to The Grit Games! Last episode we had Kris Rugloski on the show to talk about her experience and history with this event. Austin Azar is an athlete that we have only met a couple of times and somehow only once on the show at OCRWC for episode 300 but we have heard great things about him over the years. We discuss his recent victory at The Grit Games, his experience at the Spartan 3K in Palmerton, being one of the few athletes to reach 100 miles at

The Grit Games just had their 6th event and this year it got a lot more eyes on it than in the past due to the increase in prize money, a stacked field of athletes, and the ability to watch the event via a live stream! Kris Rugloski has participated in each and every one of their events and has been crowned the champion every time. The additional competition this year didn't do anything to change it this year as she finished with a perfect score of 400! 0:00 – 2:51 – Intro 2:51 – 10:49 – Quick News
