Welcome to episode 71 of Inside The Line: The Catskill Mountains Podcast! On this episode, I am joined by Kim Levinsky, who is attempting to set the record for the female fastest known time (FKT) for the Long Path of New York. We chat about her running career, the planning that goes into this accomplishment and her close calls on the trails with bears! We also chat about recent rescues on the trails.
