I’m currently running with a pair of Loan Peak Altra’s which are relatively new at this point but they seem to wear down pretty quickly. For the ultra I think I plan on running with a brand-new pair of Olympus 2.0’s. I would like to at least put in a 100 miles into them before I actually run the race. The last 100K I did I used Hoka’s which I felt made a huge difference in protecting my legs throughout the race, but I did tend to roll my ankles a bit more. I’m hoping Olympus 2.0’s will give me some more cushion compared to the long peaks but a much more stable platform. As for Griffith Park it’s definitely a pretty run at night and the day. Running to the empty mountains is pretty peaceful without anyone around.
