Just do a power hour twice a day, once in the afternoon, once later on in the evening. 15 miles every morning. Easy as pie.

Monitor this guys blood pressure each day. I'd be very interested to see the stress on his heart as the week progresses with all the carbs, alcohol, and stress from running.
Yep, he's a dead man.
I do believe that he will make it. knowing his soul and its strength it will be interesting none the less.

This has been discussed on this board ad nauseam. The true challenge is the triple century of 100 beers & 100 miles in 100 hours.
Andy Holden of Great Britain is rumored to have completed this feat, and I doubt he was drinking bad American beer out of a can.
Did he do that with pints i.e. 568ml?
Don't think AH has completed the triple century, in my experience the holdens (manchester based) can't drink for toffee ;-)
The only person I know of who has achieved said feat is YP of Edinburgh - Legend!
100/100/100... wow. A 24 pack a day and just shy of a marathon a day, for 4 days, with 4 hours at the end to catch up if need be. Helluva feat.
I heard that a couple of guys at Leeds University had done the 100 pints in 100 hours and 100 miles. I had heard Andy Holden had done it. To be fair 100 cans of American piss water in a week is not all that difficult. I would imagine i've come close without actually trying.
I'm sure your liver is proud.
Man thats just epic man.
I could do this in trainers in one day!
100 beers in 7 days? That ain't bad, just schedule 20 of em for sunday night :-).
troll alert
It's amazing how much cheap beer you can fit into your stomach. Drink a twelve pack of budweiser, easy. Try drinking twelve guiness stouts, not so easy. The better, richer the beer is, the more it fills you up. The most I've ever run and drank in one day was this past spring before Boston. I did a 20 mile run from topsfield, MA to Hampstead, NH with a friend of mine for training. It was so slow (he was a beginner) that I did 15 later on much faster. I showed up to a party and found out that my friend Mahoney, who is like 6'4 and 260 lbs of jagged metal (crazy, crazy football dude with literally an IQ of under 90) set our school's single sitting beer record (as far as we knew) with 42. This dude is a straight alchoholic, I've drank with him drinking a captain's n coke in the same time he drank the other 80% of the bottle. I'd never done more than 20 cans, ever. Since I was such a stud, I double handed beers fast until at 9 I shot beer out of my mouth like godzilla breathing fire. Pure, ice cold beer throw-up. I didn't want to quit, and helped myself to a 30 rack, getting to about 18 before my body said absolutely no more. Your friend will earn extreme respect if he finishes this week. BTW if anyone around the merrimack valley wants to put together a beer marathon together in the future, I'm down.
On that note, never run more than 50K and drink loads of ice cold beer as fast as you can afterwards. The body just does not want it.
At Chico they call that doing Chico miles.
Running and Beer:
I tried the case in one day, but started out too fast and hit the wall at 21-22. (5 beers the first hour.)Still haven't done it at 53, but it's a life goal. (Never grow up!)
I did however win the "Baker's Field (yes spelling) 10 mile Beer Run" (9 bottles of Leinie enroute) in 62-63 minutes years back. A course record.
I was drunk at the news conference.
I think the 100/100 is a good way to ruin a week of running and/or a good week of drinking. Do one thing at a time and do it well!
The best plan I've read for the 100/100. From the other thread:

A few of my teammates and I have been discussing the 100 beers and 100 miles for after we graduate next spring. Our plan was to do it the week leading up to the olympic trials, or potentially during the trials, but we still want to be able to be somewhat sober to watch the races.
Like has been mentioned before the best thing to do is to front load the running and back load the drinking with some cross over in the middle of the week.
This being said, your first run needs to be long, really long, pace does not matter so long as you do the miles, but we decided the run must be atleast 20 miles, and maybe 25-30 if your body can handle that kind of mileage. maybe 5 ish beers that first night, but thats about it. The the next day go out for 10 in the morning, and 10-15 in the evening. with a nap, and no beer in between. That night put down 10 beers
At this point, you are 2 days in 50 miles in, and only 15 beers down. Your body will be sore but half the running is done, you will need some ice, you will be hurting, and you might want to take next week off from running, and maybe life.
Day three should be divided into 3, 5 mile runs, you can add a mile or two if you feel brave, and in between runs, throw down 5 beers. so run before breakfast, before lunch, and before dinner, and then at night you can do 10 beers.
3 days: 65 miles, 35 beers
we are seriously slacking on the beer here, day four is a repeat of day 3, but if you can handle 10 beers in the evening, as you go out with your buddies, game on.
4 days: 80 miles, 55 beers...you are a champ
Now its day five, time to take the emphasis off of running and onto drinking. 5 miles in the morning, 5 miles at night, reserve the afternoon for drinking. nap and 5 beers in the afternoon, and 10 at night with the boys.
5 days: 90 miles, 70 beers
Day six, you can choose to finish up all of your running, or mix it up, my advice is repeat day five, so another 10 miles total, and another 15 beers total.
6 days: 100 miles, 85 beers
Day 7 just get to drinking, perhaps have a big celebration party with all your friends, throw down those last 15 beers, with nothing to worry about. You can move some of the beers from the 2nd and 3rd day to now if you would like since i might have put too much there, so move 5 from each and throw down 25 today, that is up to you.
And there you have our plan, the next week will be the trials and we will watch, it will be grand, and that is one hell of a graduation present to ourselves.
since the trials will be going on, we might look for a sponsor from a local microbrew while we perform this gross task for the sake of "enjoyment" and marketing.
All the more props to this kid for doing it during finals.

I forgot to add that we're in the middle of finals here, so school work has to be factored into the equation.
what else you have going on during the week? if all you're doing is drinking and running, go 15 in the morning, drink all day, passs out, repeat
