The 10k challenge

College Running

9 years ago 07/15/2014 10:05pm EDT

Ok boys (and the three odd girls), tomorrow marks a great day in history. Tomorrow is the day I, Kidrupp, along with Beach Bum and All Business attempt the proverbial 10k challenge.

For those of you who don't know, this challenge includes running a 10k, and then consuming 10,000 Calories along with lifting (in some form) 10,000 pounds. Finally, we shall bookend our joyous journey with another 10k run. We hope to complete this challenge within 24 hours for starting our first run. There is one extra bit that will make our journey all the more epic. We shall be attempting this all at 10,000 feet at altitude. While it might not make the hardest part of our journey (the consumption bit), it's an extra 10k to check off the list.

We will try to update you all on our progress throughout the day, but friends and colleagues have put all our chances of finishing as such:

Kidrupp: 0% chance

All Business: 10-15% chance

Beach Bum: 25% chance

We plan to start tomorrow at 8 am CT zone .

Deuces,

re: Kidrupp

All Bunisess is at 20 Oreos and two liters of choclate milk and is now finishing off set 10 of 25 reps of dumbbell bench press which is halfway in the lifting portion. (20 total)

Kidrupp is at 20 Oreos and half a peanut butter jar, he is also half way through the weights.

Beach Bum is 14 bananas deep as well as half a jar of peanut butter. Again he is halfway though the weight section.

We are all a quarter the way through the food and halfway through the weights. More updates coming post weight section.

re: Beach Bum

Update: It is about 10 1/2 hours into the conpetition and all but one have failed. All business is the last man standing. He is at 48 Oreos and 4 liters of milk. I doubt he'll finish. Although kidrupp and beach bum are disappointed, they vow to make another attempt. Next time there won't be peanut butter involved.

re: Kidrup

I thought you had to do the 10,000 calories of all one type of food? I've had some friends that have attempted it, and they say that's the hardest part - getting tired of the food. Regardless, ambitious of you, good luck.

re: Kidrup

I agree, the way my crew does the challenge is: 10k run, 10000kg of lifting, 10k of one food (ex: steak, krispy kreme glazed, soda, macadamia nuts), then a 10k to wrap it up. All in 24 hours. You have to eat ONE food item for it to count, non of this wussy mixing food crap. come on now.

Doing it at 10,000 feet elevation makes it a lot harder because the altitude takes away a lot of your appetite

re: Kidrup

So you didn't even run the first 10k?
