Exclusive: Inside story on Stringbean’s new Long Trail FKT

Earlier this week Joe McConaughy (“Stringbean”) set a new unsupported FKT on 270-mile Long Trail, finishing it just under five days.

Last night I sat down with Joe for a live interview on Zoom about his experience. We were joined by his wife Katie for additional perspective and by standout alumnus Hunter Hall for fielding Q&A from the audience.

The interview runs for about an hour, and I think it maintained a steady energy and entertainment value throughout. Enjoy.
