Obstacle Running Adventures
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.

513. Spartan Ultra World Championship, Disordered Eating, Spartan Sprint World Championship, and More with Sabrina Daolio!
Show notes
When I saw the podiums of Hvar there was a name that jumped out at me immediately, Sabrina Daolio who won the Spartan Ultra World Championship had taken 2nd at the Spartan Sprint World Championship! I wasn't able to talk to Sabrina as much as I would have liked to in Morzine so I invited her to come on the show for her own episode!
We discuss her athletic background, how she found OCR, thoughts on hybrid racing, her history with disordered eating and injury, as well as success in Morzine, Beijing, and Hvar!
Start – 5:24 – Intro
5:24 – 15:30 – Quick News

16:22 – 1:04:24 - Sabrina Daolio Interview

Next weekend we will either have an interview related to Spartan Trifecta World Championship, a dog training episode, or something else!

509. Matt Novakovich on Alaska, Spartan Glory Days, Grief, and Return to Killington!
Show notes
We first met Matt Novakovich back in November of 2014 at the Spartan Race World Championship viewing party just outside of Fenway Park in Boston!
We had him on the show back in 2018 on episode 89 when we covered Killington in person by doing finish line interviews.
Between him losing his son, being public about his grief, and him returning to Killington to be honored, we figured it would be a great time to have him on the show for his own episode.
We discuss his athletic background, his love for Alaska, how he found OCR, what it was like being on the Spartan Pro Team during the glory days of the sport, his return to Killington for the Beast, and how he has been handling his son's death.
Start – 3:42 – Intro
3:42 – 13:15 – Quick News
13:15 – 14:19 – Content Preface
14:19 – 1:16:57 - Matt Novakovich Interview
1:16:57 – End – Outro
Next weekend we will be at Obstacle Wonderland's Halloweird on Sunday October 11th so most likely an episode covering that!

505. Logan Broadbent on Cleveland, Boomerang World Cup, Winning Spartan Northeast USNS, and More!
Show notes
Over the many years of doing elite interviews there have been some athletes that have risen to the top of Mike's favorites, Logan Broadbent being among them. Katelyn recently saw a post about him winning an ultra and setting a PR on the course and figured that we should have him back on the show. Once Mike realized how long it had been since his last appearance on the show (Palmerton 3K Live Coverage) he reached out to change that!
Logan has competed and done well in a variety of sports including OCR, ninja, boomerang, and road running yet stays incredibly humble. We catch up about him winning the Boomerang World Cup, the Spartan Northeast US National Series, and a road ultra! We also discuss why he loves his home city of Cleveland, and much more!

We discuss some life changes like earning her degree, ending a long term babysitting job, and getting engaged as well as her background with horses, her adventure in Mongolia, her upcoming move, and much more!

501. Spartan World Championships 2026! (Part 2: Saturday's Wedding, Ceremony, and Interviews)
Show notes
After we covered World's Toughest Mudder we went to Paris to experience France for the first time! We then took a train to Geneva, Switzerland and drove down to cover the Spartan Ultra World Championship in Morzine, France!
This is part 2 of 2 for our coverage which is everything from Saturday! This features a wedding, the award ceremony, and athlete interviews. Some interviews were more difficult to conduct due to language barriers but I appreciate those who took the time to talk to us. That is the fun part of going to new countries but it makes it difficult when covering events as a podcast.
Hope you enjoy hearing about this amazing event and consider checking out one of the most beautiful Spartan Races there is!

499. Spartan Ultra World Championships 2026! (Part 1: Friday)
Show notes
After we covered World's Toughest Mudder we went to Paris to experience France for the first time! We then took a train to Geneva, Switzerland and drove down to cover the Spartan Ultra World Championship in Morzine, France!
This is part 1 of 2 for our coverage which is everything from Friday! Some interviews were more difficult to conduct due to language barriers. That is the fun part of going to new countries but it makes it difficult when covering it as a podcast. Due to this, there is a lot of announcer audio in both English and French in addition to our interviews!
Hope you enjoy hearing about this amazing event and consider checking out one of the most beautiful Spartan Races there is!
Translation of Mike (M) and Gregory (G) Basilico's Interview:
M: How did your race go today?
G: It's my first Ultra, it was in a world championship. I was starting a bit in the unknown because I didn't know how to manage this type of race. The gap increased as the race went on. I really had a lot of difficulties on the second lap but I surged far far far away at the mental level and said let's do our best and I think that today it's my mind that made the difference to go and get this beautiful victory. I was really really really looking forward to this and I think that today it's my mind that made the difference to go and get this great victory with the first World Championship title and the 6th overall title
M: How does it feel to take 1st, 2nd, and 3rd as French athletes in your country
G: Well I am really happy that we can do a triplet. Especially since it has been two years since the Italian Luca Pescullderungg won. At least now we are putting things back in place. We are in France, three frenchmen.
M: You're no stranger to World Championships, how does it feel to win the ultra?
G: What it is, is an accomplishment. It is a lot of effort and a lot of work.
Translation of Mike (M) and Jonathan (J) Garcia's Interview:
M: How did your race go today?
J: Very good, I finished third so I am very happy, in addition my French compatriots who were much stronger today, very happy with the race.
M: How does it feel to take a podium on a big stage?
J: It was the first time I have had a hard time doing it, and I wanted to but I wasn't mentally ready but I am happy
M: Total sweep from France on the podium, how does it feel to have that in your country?
J: Yeah, that is it, great! It is our home and we are on the podium, very great so we will enjoy it now
M: What did you think about the course with the obstacles today?
J: I found it a little easier than the other years. Maybe I was more fit but it felt easier. I just missed the multirig twice but otherwise everything went well
M: What is next for you for the rest of the year?
J: Other European Championships, and maybe the Trifecta World Championship at Sparta

494. Grant Thompson on Scotland, UKOCR Endurance Series, World's Toughest Mudder, and More!
Show notes
In preparation for this year's World's Toughest Mudder we had Scottish elite Grant Thompson on the show!
We talk about how he found the sport of obstacle course racing, making the switch to run age group and eventually elite, and his history at World's Toughest Mudder! We discuss his country of Scotland, the Tartan Army takeover of Boston, and places worth checking out if you plan to make the trip to Scotland from the venue! He also gives his thoughts on the UKOCR Endurance Series, advice for those taking on WTM at Belvoir Castle, and his own goals for this year!
Be sure to follow Grant on social media, cheer him on as he passes you on the course, and follow along how he and other badasses do at this year's best ultra OCR event!
