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.

2023/08/08

Spartan didn't build much hype up around it, but the Spartan Pan American Championship was this weekend down in Mexico! We invited Angel Quintero to be our guest on the show as the second place finisher in the 3K and the winner of the Beast the following day. There was a lot of talk about the lack of competition in Mexico but I wanted to have the chance to have Angel on the podcast to explain his thoughts on it! We discuss his background in the sport, the races that meant the most to him over the

We had MudGear-Hannibal Race Pro Team member Rachel Watters on the show for her own episode! We have heard great things about Rachel for a while before we had the opportunity to finally meet her in person when covering RuckFest in person last year! There was no shortage of things to talk to her about but we primarily focus on her trip to Kuwait for Hannibal Race, her 105 mile OCR challenge done to fundraise for Lionheart Fitness, her experience at the Chicago Savage Series Race where she placed 3rd

2023/07/24

Mike and Katelyn took the drive down to Palmerton, Pennsylvania to cover the most stacked Spartan race that they have ever been to (also to visit Scranton which The Office was based on)! This was also the first time meeting a lot of these Spartan athletes and staff as well which was great because the big series races don't come to the northeast like they used to. Check below to see what athletes we had on the show and around what time to find them! 0:00 – 2:57 – Intro 2:57 – 9:53 – Quick News 9:53

2023/07/18

Last weekend was the Savage Chicago Point Series Race and there was a face on the podium that we (and likely many others) did not recognize! Noah Buschur was the athlete to place 3rd behind Shawn Roberts and Ryan Kempson! Not only is he talented in OCR (and making us feel old), but he is also an artist, ninja, and has experience with mini horses! 0:00 – 4:38 – Intro 4:38 – 14:25 – Quick News 14:25 – 15:00 – Content Preface 15:00 - 51:04 - Noah Buschur Interview 51:04 - End – Outro Next episode we

340. Save Monadnock Ninja with James Golisano!

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2023/07/10

A couple weeks ago we mentioned it on quick news but since James Golisano is a good friend of the show we figured we would have him on to talk about his Go Fund Me. This isn't something we do often but we figured that it'd be a good way and try to help! James opened up Monadnock Ninja back in 2020 and helped form a local community of youth ninjas. With very little notice he was told that the building that he had been renting was going to be sold so him and his equiptment don't really have

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2023/07/03

Any longtime listener knows how much we value local OCR. One of our favorite event organizers in the northeast is Newbsanity due to the incredible community that they have built up and the fact that it is one of the best permanent courses that we have ever experienced in our years in the sport. Newbsanity put on their first Last Man Standing event and we had Esther Frustino on the show to talk about how she tied for first place woman! 0:00 – 4:18 – Intro 4:18 – 8:04 – Quick News 8:04 – 8:26 –

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2023/06/27

We had Kaci Monroe on the show to talk about her previous experience with Spartan Race, her recent podium at a Savage Point Series Race, and much more! Kaci is someone who we have wanted to have on the show for a few years now. We are a weekly show so there are only 52 episodes in a year which sounds like a lot but isn't that many when you see how we plan out our year of coverage with all the events we cover. We had a weekend prepared for a Savage Ohio finisher and Kaci placed 2nd which is her

337. OCR European Championships with Jesse de Heer!

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2023/06/19

Last weekend was massive for the sport of OCR in Europe! There was both Spartan European Championship as well as OCR European Championships. We followed the latter more closely and were excited to find a guest to come on the show and talk about it. Jesse de Heer finished first for the short course, second on the standard course, and his team Hang On placed first for the men's relay race! Having a pretty excellent finish in all events we figured that he would be a great guest to have on the show

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2023/06/12

Annie Dube was frequently found on the podium in some pretty big events, and is still a member of the OCR Dream Team. Unfortunately with Spartan Race drastically changing the format of their series we have been robbed from seeing her and many other athletes compete lately. She did jump into her first Savage Race in Charlotte, NC last weekend and won by about 8 minutes so we had her on to discuss her experience with a different race series. We also talk about when athletes should make the decision

335. Goliathon with Winner Isaac Waychoff!

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2023/06/06

There are a lot of incredible events that don’t get the love they deserve, I would put Goliathon towards the top of that list. We weren’t able to go down to the event due to the aforementioned house construction but I looked through the results for a potential guest. I saw that there was only one athlete who reached the status of David this year (which is a pretty damn big deal). Isaac Waychoff was that athlete so I reached out to him about coming on the show! It was great hearing about his

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2023/05/30

Going back towards the beginning of the sport Rose Wetzel was often seen on the podiums, fast forward a decade to now and Rose continues to be competitive in the elite field! We have had her on the show a few times before for NorAM and OCRWC finish line interviews but it's easy to say that she very much deserved her own episode! We discuss what it has been like seeing the sport change over the years, what keeps her involved in OCR, the balance of being both a mother and an athlete, thoughts on the

2023/05/24

This was a huge weekend for elite OCR athletes! Savage Race Maryland (live stream here) and Spartan Big Bear 3K (live stream here) both happened, and there was no shortage of athletes to talk to. This week we decided to have Jordan McDougal on the show to talk about his experience at the Maryland Savage Race which is the third of their point series! Jordan is someone whose name we recognized from reading podiums over the years and we were grateful to have him on the show to learn more about him

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2023/05/15

There has been a big charge by USAOCR in getting a team together for the potential World Obstacle Championship being put on in Belgium later this year! Due to this, they reached out asking to come on the show and talk about it. As media we try to stay up to date with what is going on in our niche sport. Unfortunately USAOCR has been a bit of a blind spot in our knowledge so this was a helpful interview with Ian Hosek for ourselves as well in learning what is going on, why it's happening, and the

2023/05/08

Katelyn and I (Mike) first got into OCR back when we were in college and would have loved an event on our campus! That's what Cairn University is doing with their Highlander Mudder event that they had a couple weekends ago. We reached out to Dave Willard who is the Director of Partnerships for the college and who helped put the event together. We discuss what they learned about event planning when it comes to OCR, where they got their scoring system from, thoughts on the future of the event and

2023/04/30

This weekend was New Jersey's Spartan Tri-State weekend! Mike inititally didn't recognize many of the names of the athletes on the podium from Saturday's Spartan Super but then realized that the first place finisher Chris Marrone was the winner of the Spartan 3K test event in Jacksonville! He was brought up during two recent interviews (our episode with Brett Milks on that test event as well as last episode with Adam Beach) so I had a feeling he would be someone we should have on the show!

The first Spartan 3K series race was this weekend, if you missed it then be sure to watch the live stream here! We had an episode previously with Brett Milks after the 3K test event in Jacksonville and it was the first time that we have started to feel optimistic about Spartan Race making this format change. Mike was sure to tune in to the live broadcast and asked Adam Beach to come on the show to talk about his experience and thoughts on the new series! 0:00 – 3:15 – Intro 3:15 – 12:11 – Quick

FIT Challenge has been putting on obstacle course races since 2013 and we have been to almost every single one of them over the years (we just missed the very first one and the one during the extreme heat wave the summer of 2019)! Unfortunately that all comes to an end after this past weekend since it was their final event. It is the death of the most important New England local OCR that we have had and it also has some backing of that fact with it winning the best small OCR event just about every

The second Savage Point Series race happened this weekend, if you missed it then watch the live stream here! We had Ryan Kempson reach out to us about wanting to come on the show and then realized that despite him being featured in 11 different episodes with in person interviews, he has never had an episode of his own! We have been big fans of both Kempson brothers with them being from New England and genuinely being down to earth people so this is making up for lost time. Ryan won the Savage Point

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2023/04/03

A few months ago we mentioned Des Linden's book "Choosing to Run" being available on preorder in quick news. We were sent an advanced copy of the book back in February and we really enjoyed it! We were also given the chance to have Des on the show to talk about it. This is technically our second time having her on the show but last time was just for a few minutes when we covered the Falmouth Road Race. This time we talk about her feelings of having the book being ready to be sent to the masses,

The first of the Savage Race point series races took place in Georgia, if you missed it then you can watch the live stream footage here! This was a great opportunity to have Jamie Horianopoulos on the show for her own episode! She won a boatload of axes by winning Savage Races last year and she took third at the first race of the series this past weekend. She got her start in the sport with Savage and has been running their events for years! 0:00 – 3:33 – Intro 3:33 – 10:04 – Quick News 10:04 –
