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.

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2022/11/01

Ghosted by a guest again! Hopefully now that Halloween is over we can be done with the ghosts and get back to some high quality episodes! If you're still here and listening we love your faces! We used this opportunity to talk about our thoughts on the 3 big Spartan race news stories. We got a crapload of messages from people saying that they wanted to hear our thoughts (which of course Mike had a lot of). Apologies if new information came out in the following 3 days before recording but life has

303. Spartan Dallas Ultra Recap with Angela Bowers!...

2022/10/25

We needed to pivot from our original gameplan so hard that I may have sprained a metaphorical ankle. Anyway, instead of hearing from an elite athlete who competed at the big Spartan Race in Blue Mountain (because we were ghosted ... spooky!) we turned to our trusty friend Angela who is always traveling around doing races! This time we got even more lucky because her race this weekend was the Spartan Dallas Ultra (Beast)! Why is that lucky? Well, because it was at the venue of Twins Canyon Ranch!

298. Fran Chiorando from The OCRWC Podcast!

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2022/09/19

One of Mike's favorite new podcasts has been the OCRWC Podcast! First off, the more podcasts on OCR the better, second it is more likely to have a wider range of athletes on the show due to both the broad nature of the show and the fact that the host is from England! Following the show from the start Mike still didn't know much of anything about the host though. When he found out who she was he reached out to her earlier this year and planned to have her on the show for an episode the weekend

We had Shawn Roberts on the show for the first time! Mike has occasionally reached out to him throughout the past couple years to congratulate him and offer other words of support and he met him in person and spoke off the mic at OCRWC 2021. Earlier this year he reached back out and said that he wanted to come on the show. Very interested in having another conversation with him and figuring that it could be a great way to build anticipation for OCRWC we had this call where we discuss that race as

Rylan Schadegg won the Spartan North American Championship last weekend in Kelowna located in British Columbia, Canada! This weekend he won the Palm Beach Deka Fit setting a new record and beating Ryan Kent by seconds! These are pretty impressive accomplishments but only some of the reasons why we wanted to have him on the show!

Spartan North American Championship was this weekend in Kelowna located in British Columbia, Canada! This is a new venue and it yielded a new podium!

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2022/08/07

We have had our eyes on this celebratory moment for a while, had plans, and then of course had plans change! We hoped to have Rob Fournier aka the Muddy Warthog on the show since he was a very influential race reviewer at the time. However, due to a family crisis he wasn't able to come on the show but will hopefully will be a guest for a different kind of semi-planned episode in the next year or so. With this change Katelyn stepped up and wrote some questions, and built a time machine to go through

We had Elvi Guzman on the show to talk about his 10 year anniversary of City Challenge Race! City Challenge Race has great obstacles, epic medals, a huge support system comprised of gyms and teams, and much more going for them! Their next event in New York City will also have prize money for the first time! These events have been on Mike's radar for a long time and with Katelyn's family living in New Jersey you'd think that we would have had the opportunity to run one by now. We hope to check out

After 2 years of wanting to have her on the podcast Mike finally pulled the trigger and invited Cali Schweikhart to be a guest on the show! Cali has continued to be vocal with her experiences dealing with disordered eating. We are all about doing what we can to help reduce the amount of stigma in society when it comes to barriers that people face.

Bonefrog has been around for a while and offers a unique military feel to their course and festival area that other races do not.
