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.
The world of hobby sports has evolved significantly, with social media becoming a primary source of information and inspiration for many enthusiasts. In this ABC of trends that have taken hold on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, Gary Cantrell, known in the running community as Lazarus Lake, shares some ideas worth considering before jumping into the latest trend.
Backyard Ultras, a concept pioneered by Cantrell, gained traction in the running scene. Inspired by the Barkley Marathons, the most grueling running event in the world, Cantrell started the Backyard Ultras. The concept is straightforward: every hour, participants run a 6.7-kilometer lap. The last runner to complete a lap wins. The current record stands at 108 laps.
While the idea may seem amusing, it's essential not to jump into it without proper preparation. Even twelve laps might not seem like much, covering a distance of 80.472 kilometers. After six laps, participants are already close to the distance of a marathon.
