Obstacle Running Adventures

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.

2021/08/22

Mike's most anticipated local OCR event finally happened! FIT Challenge and Newbsanity teamed up and created an OCR Extravaganza that appears to have a bright future! We drove about 5 and a half hours to get to Binghamton, NY and as expected it was worth it!

2021/08/17

Originally Mike hoped to make it out to cover Chicago Toughest but the flights were more expensive than he was willing to pay! Backup plan was the New England Spartan Super and Sprint and we planned to cover the event and have Mike run the Super. Motivation to do a Spartan Race wasn't really there so we had a more relaxing weekend and instead got stuff done around the house. We can never forget about you though dear listener! Katelyn had one of our favorite northeast OCR athletes Kelly Sullivan

Tough Mountain Challenge takes place at The Sunday River Mountain in Newry, Maine and has about 1,200 feet of elevation and 20+ obstacles!

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2021/07/20

Lots of great events in the northeast this weekend! Extreme Ravine, Rugged Maniac, Bonefrog, Tough Mudder, etc. but none of them had our eye like Toughest Mudder in the Poconos! Our first sponsored athlete and in general good friend Javier Escobar had a team of four that won their category of the race! He called in to talk about the storm which had lightning that struck an obstacle, his team situation where they were down a man for a period of time, and much more! 0:00 - 2:14 - Intro 2:14 - 13:10

2021/07/13

Months ago Matt B Davis from Obstacle Racing Media asked if Mike would be able to support him as pit crew for his A-race of the year, Ode to Laz! This was to be a battle between himself and Josh Chace, another friend and cohost of Davis and Chace. Not wanting to choose sides, Mike drove over to Michigan with Josh in order to pit and document the event for the both of them! This episode consists of both Matt and Josh's thoughts the day before the event, interviews and predictions by others, audio

2021/07/05

Somehow this is the first time that we have had Kevin Gregory on the show despite Mike being a fan of him and Bubbles for years! We have a long talk about the early days of OCR, being comfortably wierd, as well as being a heavier "clydesdale" in the sport. His new gym Underdog Fitness in Wallingford, Connecticut will be hosting it's first Deka Strong event on July 10th!

2021/06/28

Well, we missed going to yet another Indian Mud Run event! However, this gave us a great excuse to have Amy Pajcic on the show to talk about her win! Amy is starting to get some more recognition and quite frankly we think it is overdue. Beating incredible women like Lindsay Webster at the Savage Rig in Ohio earlier this year, being Magic Pajcic on American Ninja Warrior, some solid performances at OCRWC events, and a bunch of other wins at grip intensive races like Conquer the Gauntlet! 0:00 -

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2021/06/13

We kept reading the name Miranda Kielpinski in recent podium results so we figured we would have her on the show after she ran the Triple-State Spartan Sprint weekend to get to know her a bit and to put a voice to the name! Miranda talks about how she got into OCR in 2019, dealt with a knee issue, and has come back to a pretty solid start to 2021. The most surprising part is that her athletic background is surfing which isn't usually the first sport that is thought about when it comes to skills

Obstacle Running Adventures ·

2021/06/08

Mike finally crossed Goliathon off of his OCR bucket list! As excited as he was to finally run the event, he was also nervous about his lack of training. Katelyn assured him that since it is a local race it will have simple obstacles ... but Mike knew better! It's a typical OCR until you're staring down one of their many ninja inspired rigs which luckily have 3 lanes of difficulty! Green for beginners or for those that want to play it safe, orange for a solid challenge, and blue if you are

Mud Gauntlet is one of Newbsanity's many great events that they put on every year! Other notable ones are their Extreme Ravine, Commando Cup, Frozen Four Miler, and the new Newbsanity Ultra FIT weekend! Many exciting races but Mud Gauntlet is the more straightforward OCR one.
