Episode 235 - Long Path FKT with Kumi and Glen Redpath

Welcome to episode 235! This week, Tad and I are joined by Kumi and Glenn Redpath for one hell of a conversation! Back in May, Kumi set the Fastest Known Time (FKT) on the Long Path, and she joins us to tell the story behind the record—from the tough moments and unexpected challenges to the fun, the laughs, and everything in between. And of course, no record-setting effort happens alone, so Glenn joins us to talk about what it was like being Kumi’s crew chief and helping keep the whole operation moving. We also dive into recent rescues, the loss of some of our favorite Catskill viewpoints, and a pretty big milestone—the five-year anniversary of the podcast! Make sure to subscribe on your favorite platform, share the show, donate if you feel like it… or just keep tuning in. I'm just grateful you're here. And as always... VOLUNTEER!!!!
