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.
Social media has become a primary source of information and inspiration for many hobby sports enthusiasts, replacing traditional methods such as community runs and marathon races with volunteer coaches. Here are some trends that have gained popularity due to social media, which might be worth considering before assuming they are suitable for you.
Gary Cantrell, better known in the running community as Lazarus Lake, was dissatisfied with the Barkley Marathons, the most challenging running event in the world. In 2011, he began organizing Backyard Ultras, a concept that has gained traction in Germany. The idea is straightforward: participants run a 6.7-kilometer loop every hour, with the last runner to complete a single loop being the winner.
The current record stands at 108 laps. While the concept may seem amusing, it's essential not to sign up for a casual mood. Even twelve laps might not seem like much at first; they amount to 80.472 kilometers. After only six laps, you are close to the distance of a marathon.
