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.

284. Spartan Puebla Beast in Mexico with Alex Walker!

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2022/06/14

We were looking for a reason to have Alex Walker back on the show since she has only been on for a couple quick interviews while covering North American Championships back in 2018 and 2019! Seeing her place 3rd at the 3rd Spartan North American Series resulting in her being 3rd on the current season leaderboard seemed like a great reason! We discuss how she got into the sport of OCR, texan spiders, how her race went in Mexico, and more! Please consider training with her or supporting her sponsors

2022/06/07

Starting with OCR America back in 2016, Evan Perperis has been putting his body through insane ultra OCR challenges every year in order to fundraise, and see what he is capable of! This year it was OCR Everest where he ascended the elevation of Mount Everest (29,029 feet) while taking on Tough Mudder obstacles at their New England event in Stratton, VT! We had him on the call to discuss how the event went, how people can continue to help with the fundraiser, more information about his new book, and

2022/05/29

When a name keeps popping up on podiums it starts to stand out, especially when we read podiums every week! This is how Mike noticed Matthew Gill. He took second at Newbsanity's Mud Gauntlet as well as second at Toughest Philedelphia the following week. It wasn't until after we reached out to him that Mike also noticed his name on the Savage Series leaderboard as well! It was great learning more about him, his running backround with Newbsanity training is a recipe for success and we look forward

281. The Final Wason Pond Pounder with David Veale!

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2022/05/23

Mike has been aware of the Wason Pond Pounder for many years and we registered for their final event (planned for 2020) back in 2019! Of course 2020 was a rough year for events to say the least and their event was postponed again in 2021 due to picking dates that would have been difficult for attendance (one of them overlapping with OCRWC I believe). The final event finally happened though! We woke at 6:30am to make the trip up to New Hampshire to check out this small local OCR. We were not

2022/05/17

2022/05/10

We had plans with a great OCR athlete to have them on the show for a Mother's Day episode! Got a bunch of questions together that I have been coming up with over the years for her/him and was good to go ... but never heard back on Sunday. So then we extended our availability for Monday ... and still haven't heard back. So now our future backup idea for an episode became our current backup episode! The title is a bit much but it kinda gets the point across doesn't it? It wasn't a complete

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2022/05/01

We were torn on what to have this episode focus on. We intended to have someone call in from the Tri-State Spartan weekend but Mike was much more interested in the GORUCK Games after following it closely last weekend. Luckily the results of our Instagram poll helped direct our decision! Jarrett Newby from Newbsanity took second place at the first GORUCK Games! We talk about his training and preperation with Rich Ryan, his thoughts on how the competitions were run, and a reminder to check out his

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2022/04/25

We had Michael Wardian on the show for the first time! Our paths have crossed a few times before on the Spartan Cruise and an Ultra Virus Virtual Race but we haven't had a good opportunity to have him on the mic before. Starting on May 1st he will be running from West Sacramento, CA to Ocean City, MD along route 50! We figured this was an excellent reason to have him on the show and hopefully raise awareness to his 75 day fundraising challenge! Be sure to follow along on Instagram, Facebook, or

Mike woke up at 6am to get to the start of the second to last FIT Challenge OCR event! He may have missed the start but he was able to get interviews with the mandatory elite wave finishers, socialize with great people, run a lap with Angela and Jimmie, volunteer on the course, take down the obstacles, and interview some of the 12 hour ultra finishers.

Another rough week in OCR due to the poor reception of the first episode of the Spartan Games, the formal venue announcement of World's Toughest Mudder being in Alabama, the news of Kyle McLaughlin stepping down as the president of Tough Mudder, and Spartan athletes still demanding their prize money from last year.

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2022/03/21

It's pretty clear that OCR has taken a massive hit due to the outbreak of COVID back in 2020 but many were optimistic about a strong return after. Unfortunately, things still aren't looking much better with low turnouts at many events, race brands rapidly downsizing, and from what we and other friends can vouch for a large hit to podcast listeners. Robb McCoy from FIT Challenge has won awards from Best of OCR for his role as a race director, his race itself, and for the unique obstacles that are

Did you guys see that epic battle for 3rd place at Spartan San Luis Obispo? We did, and we questioned "who the hell is that guy was with the bleached blonde hair who just beat out Hawk Call?". Turns out it was someone who we have had our eye on for the past year thanks to The Obstacle Racing Collab, Nic Maszk (pronounced "mask")! We had him on to talk about how he got into the sport, his experience competing at SLO, thoughts on Spartan's spear throw penalty, why he bleached his hair, and much much

Our favorite OCR athletes from Denmark came over to the United States to start their race season!

We discuss those two events as well as Red Bull's Conquer the Castle which is on Mike's bucket list to cover as media some day!

2022/02/14

Frigus is a snowshoe race put on by The Endurance Society, a Northeast based event company run by Andy Weinberg. Many OCR enthusiasts from back in the day know the importance of Andy but nowadays he is still a solid race director. Speaking of OCR enthusiasts, I was able to have Scott Sweeney call in to talk about his experience at Frigus. Scott is frequently a volunteer coordinator for races like FIT Challenge and Bonefrog. Whether he is participating or playing a crucial role in the event, he
