Kim Levinksy: Overcoming closed trails, wet shoes and farm dogs to beat the 358-mile Long Path
Running Tales first caught up with trail runner Kim Levinsky back in April as she prepared to take on the 358-mile Long Path.
Starting from the 175th Street Subway Station in New York City, crossing George Washington Bridge and running across the Catskills all the way to Albany, the Long Path combines woods, a series of 2,900 foot peaks, and trails that pass over lakes and streams.
Kim, who has also completed the Tahoe 200, was hoping to achieve a fastest known time for a supported female on the Long Path.
In July, she did it in nine days and ten hours, registering 378 miles and 72,000 feet of elevation.
Running Tales caught up with Kim to talk about everything from overcoming early injury niggles and shimmying across unsteady logs over raging water to farm dogs and wet shoes...
