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.

2021/04/18

BattleFrog is remembered for both good and bad by those who ran it when it was around! With the next incarnation of the event planning to resurface and the initial comeback weekend being this weekend, Mike figured that he would have his good friend CJ on the show to talk about running the event back in 2015! This is a simple episode reminiscing about the old days in OCR and doing commentary on our GoPro event video that Mike made years ago! We do not go into specifics of the past and future of the

2021/04/05

Mike had the chance to talk to one of his top 2 favorite Kempson brothers (not picking sides on this one)! Matt Kempson has switched his athletic focus more towards an event called The Tactical Games and other than following his Instagram posts, it's not an event that I know much about. He came on to talk about that event, Hyrox, his thoughts on Spartan Ultra Championship in Telluride, Leon's injury, Hildervat, Kempson Designs, and much more! There aren't many athletes in OCR (or OCR adjacent

You'll hear a quick interview with one of the OG OCR race directors, Lynn Hall! We discuss how this event went as the first time it

FIT Challenge knows how to put on great events, both trail and OCR. Robb McCoy, the race director, has also learned how to put them on safely amidst a pandemic and helps prove that races can safely happen! Mike ran both the 5 miler and the 5k options at the Cumberland Monastery and had a great time at the events.

2021/02/21

Diversity in sports! Basketball, football, and soccer all have it but why doesn't OCR, triathlon, or other endurance sports? This is what the Overcome All Obstacles Foundation aims to change! Elite start lines at obstacle course races are objectively monochromatic which is a massive challenge when it comes to drawing a more diverse group of athletes to it! Max Fennell, Rea Kolbl, and Ian Hosek all call in for a much needed conversation on this topic. Regardless of your personal beliefs please

2021/02/14

It's a very different type of episode this week as it is more of a video game review! Ring Fit Adventure is an RPG where you use exercises to traverse across worlds and defeat monsters. It teaches you great fitness and nutrition tips while providing a serious workout! Mike has been playing this game for the past 50 days and intends to keep playing it. Is it something you should try?

Mike reached out to Dan Inglis, the president of The Colonial Road Runners, to have him on to talk about the running group. Mike has been a member for the past few years but hasn't really had much of a chance to get to know the new president so this was a great conversation to get to know him better. This is one of our wicked local focused episodes but we really think that there is a lot to take out of this no matter where you live!
