Hobbysport: Diese Trends auf Instagram und Tiktok sollten Sie kennen

In the world of hobbiesports, social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok have become a primary source of information and inspiration for many enthusiasts. This article explores some of the emerging trends that are gaining traction on these platforms and are worth considering before jumping into any new sport.

One such trend is the Backyard Ultra, started by Gary Cantrell, who is better known in the running community as Lazarus Lake. The idea behind this trend is simple: every hour, participants complete a 6.7-kilometer lap. The ultimate goal is to be the last runner to finish a single lap. The current record stands at 108 laps. While the concept may seem appealing, it's important to approach such challenges with caution.

Even a modest 12 laps would amount to 80.472 kilometers. By the time a runner has completed just six laps, they would have already covered a distance equivalent to a half-marathon.
