Los Angeles on Foot: 5 Routes I Walk Every Week, With Exact Step Counts
The launch piece for this section. Five working routes from the weekly rotation, chosen because they stack real training miles inside a real city: a downtown loop, a river path, a hill route, a beach path, and a long weekend line. Each gets its counted steps, its honest difficulty, and its best hour of light, which a photographer notices even when a fitness site would not.
Route photography slotDavid's photographs of the actual routes replace this block at the launch shoot. Full frame, natural aspect, no stock substitutions.
How every route page is built
Counted, not estimated
Step counts come from the walked log on the day, cross-checked against the route distance in the Step Lab tables.
Practical first
Parking, water, bathrooms, surface, and the safest time of day. The details that decide whether a route gets walked twice.
Photographed properly
Routes are a visual product here. Each page leads with photographs from the route itself, shot at the recommended hour.
Route pages publish one at a time as each route is walked, counted, and shot for this site. The Los Angeles set is first; travel routes join the library as David's editorial work takes him to new cities.
