What's up runners?
Another video on my favorite running shoes from Altra (Altra didn't pay me or something, I mean everything I promote on this channel).
N1. Altra Lone Peaks (cause i love trails ;))
N2. Altra Escalante Racer (the most minimal road running shoe on the Altra Line Up)
N3. Altra Olympus 5 (cause of sturdiness and grip)
N4. Altra Torin (Love them but not the biggest fan of long runs on road)
N5. Altra Via Olympus (too maximal in my opinion...)
Why do I love Altras so much?
I love the toe freedom you get with the Altras, and the absence of support and tech in the shoes, as they tend to be more minimal then modern running shoe giants.
I have wide feet, and find it important not to be restrained, I hate going on a long run and feeling my feet to be cramped in. Additionally, I feel more stability while I run, because the shoes have less cushion (especially the Escalante and lone peak), and less stabilising tech in them. I know it sounds a bit counterintuitive, but for me the more you feel the ground, the better you can control it and feel stable.
Don't get me wrong, I do have a few new balance, and Hokas lying around, but i only use them for recovery runs.
This is actually one of the reasons I love Altra running shoes so much, if you train in more minimal shoes, like the escalante, lone peaks and torin, and occasionally run in something like the Novablasts, hoka Clifton or other, it feels super super comfy. In this sense, being uncomfortable gives you the luxury of feeling the comfort when you want to feel it, rather than having it all the time and consequently forgetting about it.
