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.

So this is a first for the show and we don't plan to do this often but we are rereleasing an older episode for this week! This will be done during times where it's difficult to find a guest, continuous time zone issues, life circumstances, etc. This features a rerelease or a reRUN of our first ever episode published January 8th 2017, that's 8 years ago! Back when there were 4 hosts of the show, it had a different name, and we didn't focus much on elites but more on our own team MStefano Running

We wanted to get an episode on the Spartan Beast World Championship again this year but it can be pretty difficult with language and time zone barriers! Luckily we heard back from Richard Hynek who we have heard and seen a lot about over the past recent years! We discuss what his athletic background consisted of before obstacle course racing, how he found Spartan Race, the choice to have surgery and the recovery from it, his successful history with the Trifecta World Championship, his more recent

It started off as a quick news story but Mike figured that he would reach out to the local athlete and he is so glad that he did! David Filar ran across the state of Massachusetts and raised over $10,000 for Christmas toys to go to the UMASS Memorial Children's Hospital! That is what initially caught our attention but we also discuss his running background, the importance of growth outside the comfort zone, and his career of designing incredible shoes for some well known people!

It is the end of World's Toughest Mudder coverage time ... for this year! Mike flew down to Florida to help with The OCR Report live stream and to do a whole bunch of podcast coverage. So much so, that we got 4 episodes out of it, so make sure that you subscribe and follow along to hear more about the best OCR event of the year! For this part four though, it focuses on the bar crawl on Monday where both the interviewer and interviewees may have been drinking a bit. You'll hear 15 more interviews

It has been a long time coming but we finally had Leon Kofoed on the show for his own episode! He is one of the more popular social media personalities in the sport and one of the most well known Danish athletes in the sport of OCR. He was vocal about 2024 being his final year as a full time athlete so we discuss what that looks like, how it felt to take the win at an OCRWC event, his recovery from his Savage Race injury, the state of the sport in Europe compared to North America, how he feels

I have been wanting to do this for a while ... even though I'm not sure him or the others in The OCR Report believed me! It's Jack Goras, the guy behind the camera at pretty much every major OCR that has happened in Europe or North America in the past 5 or so years! We haven't had much time to talk in the past when covering events since we are usually busy doing interviews while he is taking pictures and editing. However we did get to hang out more at World's Toughest Mudder last year since it was

A bit of a pivot for this week's episode since Mike had his "A race" of the year, the FIT Challenge Survival of the FITtest! A couple years ago he planned to take on the 30 hour but due to an upcoming wedding, the final and most difficult semester of grad school, and some achilles pain the registration was moved back. This is the raw and pretty unedited (especially since Audacity gave me issues with the episode and I needed to redo almost everything) journey of me being able to call myself an ultra

Instead we finally had Kevin "The Mudman" LaPlatney, on the show who has been in the sport since 2010 and has seen a lot of events come and go during his time living on Long Island.

We had Yaris Cruz on the show once before while doing interviews at OCRWC in 2021, having her on again for her own episode was long overdue! Yaris as an athlete is known to be a force to be wreckoned with whether it be OCR, ninja, or even hybrid racing. We discuss her background in sport before finding OCR (or lack thereof), the importance of mental health as an athlete, how her position as the vice president of Puerto Rico OCR Association has changed her perspective on the sport, her thoughts on

Josh has been involved with OCR in the northeast for well over a decade as a weekend warrior, volunteer, motivational speaker, and as an elite. He has been on the show 7 times previous to this (episodes 114, 194, 328, 358, 360, 382, and 401) due to seeing him at Spartan Greek Peak, Kismet Cliff Run, FIT Challenge, World's Toughest Mudder, New England OCR Expo, and BoldrDash

BoldrDash as a race series had a huge role to play in our overall OCR history! It was Mike's 9th ever OCR, and Katelyn's 7th ever OCR back on May 3rd 2014 (video here). We have also volunteered
