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.

385. Evan Perperis on Toughest Mudder Philadelphia, 100 OCR Podiums, and What is Next!
Evan Perperis is no stranger to the show due to his frequent appearances at our favorite OCR event to cover every year (World's Toughest Mudder), as well as our interest in his ultra OCR fundraising efforts over the years!
We discuss his milestone of achieving 100 OCR podiums, which podiums stood out to him the most over the years, how the recent Toughest Mudder East went along with the new changes to the team format, Lebenese food, and what he plans to do in both sport and life moving forward!
Listen to his podcast "Strength and Speed", like and follow the MudGear-Hannibal Race Pro team, check out his books, and follow along with Evan overall!

384. Sweat Check, MudGear-Hannibal Race Pro Team, UltraHouse Tryouts, and More with Noel Medina!
We have been aware of Noel Medina and his sweat checks for a while now but it was him joining the MudGear-Hannibal Race Pro Team that really got our attention!
There wasn't good timing to have him on the show before now but when we saw that he was traveling to the Ultra House in Durango, CO to train with Anthony Kunkle we figured it was a great opportunity to learn more about him and plans moving forward!
We discuss how he found the sport of OCR, a bit of his life before, his most memorable accomplishments in the sport so far, how it feels to be added to a pro team, why he made the trip to train with Kunkle, and much more!
Follow along with him via Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok!

We discuss how he first got into OCR, Pinoy OCR, #eatmorerice, favorite moments in the sport, Buc-ees, favorite venues, and of course his impressive milestone!

380. Obstacle Wonderland's Boogie Weekend 3 and 6 Hour Multi Lap Live Coverage!
Mike finally traveled to New York to participate in and cover Obstacle Wonderland's Boogie Wonderland Event!
Wanting to both support a small northeast race and get some good mileage in, Mike registered for the 6 hour race. He ran 3 laps, interviewed the 3 hour finisher athletes with some midrace brain fog, ran another lap, interviewed the 6 hour finisher athletes while freezing in the windy cold on and off rain, the DJ, Gabe Capobianchi, Asa Coddington, and then recorded a personal recap while driving back to New Jersey!
We highly recommend you check out an Obstacle Wonderland event, the Northeast Ultra OCR Cup put together by Viking OCR, and come to the New England OCR Expo adding the virtual run for an awesome medal!
