Hobbysport: Diese Trends auf Instagram und Tiktok sollten Sie kennen
Basebuilding, Zone2, Pain Cave, OOTD? Auf Social Media überschlagen sich die Challenges, Tipps und Hashtags im Ausdauersport. Unser Kolumnist hat geschaut, was sinnvoll ist – und was nicht.
In recent years, social media has become the primary source of information and inspiration for hobby sports enthusiasts, replacing traditional avenues like organized marathons and training guides. Here is an overview of some trends that have gained traction on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, which may warrant a brief consideration before deciding if they align with individual preferences.
Gary Cantrell, commonly known as Lazarus Lake within the running community, was dissatisfied with the Barkley Marathons, the world's most notorious running event, as early as 2011. Consequently, he introduced the Backyard Ultras, a concept that has since gained popularity in Germany. This innovative approach is straightforward: participants are required to complete one 6.7-kilometer round per hour.
The winner is the individual who remains the last to finish a single round. With 108 rounds completed, the record is quite impressive. While the idea may initially seem amusing, it is essential not to underestimate the challenge. Even completing twelve rounds would total 80.472 kilometers, and even six rounds bring participants close to a marathon distance.
