6 Big Macs and a 10k under an hour

To Amateur Eater, regarding your comment:

"Plus the water you would consume for the race would take up far too much room in your stomach"

If someone was really going to attempt this feat, they are probably a pretty decent runner, and most likely would not drink during the 10K. You're apparently thinking of the one hour 10K joggers who stop at every water stop during a race.

They would probably drink a little while eating just to wash down the Big Macs, but would not have to drink anything because of the running. I'm guessing most people reading this regularly go run for one hour runs during traing without drinking anything until they're done.

Drinking water won't be the problem here. Running 6.2 miles won't be the problem here. Eating 6 Big Macs will be the problem.

To Doug Heffernan:

Ill meet you halfway in Mansfield if you wanna try it.

Thx,

mgmt

I would like to see someone eat 6 big macs and run a 400m in under a half hour

I'd be more impressed at the guy that can get his wife to orgasm and still break 20 in the 5k.

Do you mean all in the same 20-minute period? Same weekend? Or just same wife with unrestricted timespan? ;-)

Reminds me of Roger Robinson's line:

"Sex before the race? Fine, as long as it doesn't distract the starter..."

When the 5k starts, you start, when she orgasms you can hop off and begin running.

I wish more threads came to a conclusion.

between this thread and the guy who needed a 75 second improvement to make an xc team - we're just left hanging.

Why can't life be like Eddy Lee.

And don't forget the hooking up at weddings thread that just ended abruptly. If these are trolls, the least they could do is write a finale.

OP posted on 6-29-10 and said the race was in about 2 months. It appears now safe to call this thread officially as a big hoax.

I can say that no regular person, even a distance runner can eat 6 BMs in an hour.

Bet I could do it in 10 minutes.

Wrong. Like I said before, I've seen 5 Big Mac meals, when they used to be large, with a large chocolate shake and large fries, in an hour--by a teenager.

I myself killed 4 years ago when I was tree planting--in maybe 10 minutes, and I wasn't even trying. Our crew came in after a crappy, rainy, bug-infested 2 weeks in the bush, eating camp food.

The only reason I had only 4 is because the McD's in the middle of nowhere ran out as the planting and logging crews came through that Saturday, and were limiting people to 4.

By the way, I also saw a scrawny, 40-something native Indian guy on our plant crew order about a bushel's worth of McD's fries--he had nothing else but Coke. He went through them like a hungry dog, I've never seen anything so disgusting outside a real Chinese noodle house. The only reason he stopped was because he ran out of cash--the McD's didn't take cards back then.

So tomorrow I'm going to do a massive weight workout for 2 hours, starting at 8 in the morning, then I'll be working outside in cool conditions, doing automotive crap.

Since I'll be needing the calories, I'm going to go to McD's and order 3 Big Mac's, to see how easy it will be to eat them. If it proves relatively easy, I'll go for 4.

I figure this will simulate the sort of race strategy that somebody suggested, where 2 are eaten while walking at the beginning of the race, and the other 4 are eaten at the end.

I know, eating after doing weights is different than eating after running, but it's a first step.

Maybe next weekend, or heck maybe even today, now that I think about it, I'm going to try killing 2 quickly and then running 10k, slowly. My wife wants to run this evening anyway--perfect.

The only trick will be hiding evidence of the Mac's from her--she HATES it when I eat that stuff, the few times a year that I do.

Mr. Geezer,

Don't keep secrets from your wife, it will lead you down the road to ruin.

Get her involved in your quest. Maybe she can take a video of your feast to post for us!!

Oh.... yawn? Seriously, I want to see the REAL deal, this IS a running site, right?

C'mon OP, prove us wrong that this was a big hoax. I don't want to be disappointed.

Subject is pretty self-explanatory. Looking for some insight from any similar experiences. Already have $150 on the table. May be close to $500 once race day rolls around. Road course that is pretty tough have about 2 months to prepare.

That's absurdly easy. Just run the race first. Even if you run slow as hell, like 40:00, you'll have 20 minutes to down the six big macs. That's not hard. Plenty of people do that daily, haha. Especially right after a race when you're hungry as balls.

native Indian guy

WTF is a "native Indian guy"? Is that the politically correct term for an indigenous person from the Indian subcontinent?

So I downed 3 this morning after working out.

It was actually easy. I got 2, which went down smoothly. I ordered the third one with extra sauce, and it slid down well. I got the feeling that if I ate a fourth, I'd feel like crap, so I stopped at 3. Plus I saved the $3.

I'm 100% sure I could have actually eaten a fourth one, especially if it had extra "sauce".

I do think that it would be easily possible to run a decent 10k after having eaten 2 Mac's. You'd have to get over them fighting back at some point, but I'm sure you could easy into the run pretty well.

BTW, I didn't have to hide anything from my wife because we didn't end up running yesterday after all.

Also, if she's trying to lose some weight and eat healthily, what would be the benefit of telling her I ate some McD's to keep my calorie count up? Maybe if I wanted to be an a-hole I could tell her, but there is no upside. Naturally, if she asked, I'd have to come clean, but there's nothing good to be gained by telling her.

It's like when a friend does badly at something that you aced, you don't come out and tell them. Pretty simple.

The 10k and 6 Mac's should be doable.

My next step will be to see how long it takes me to eat 2 and run 10k.

Update: Got gas?

OMG

I really don't think this would be all that hard if you are a decent runner. You could just a 10k in 36 min and have 24 to eat 6 big macs. I attempted the "big texan" 72oz steak, all the fixins, baked potato, shrimp cocktail, and dinner roll and got pretty close to completing it weighing it at 150. left about 8oz on the table which is about 5400 calories of beef alone. I think if it had been something like pizza I would have done it, but all that chewing wears you out not to mention slows you down. It didn't really get unpleasant until about 3/4's of the way through. With a lot of those calories in the big mac coming from sauce and cheese I think it's pretty doable. Again this is assuming you can jog a 10k in 35-36 min. If a race like that maxes you out then all bets are off.

May I ask how much you were charged for the Big Texan.

I`ve seen attempts on TV and read about some but the never tell the price. Thanks for the info.

I doubt it`s free unless you do it in the allowed time.

I know a burger joint that puts your photo up if you eat their contest multiburger and the sides in 30 mins but you pay 20 bucks to do it. If you get it done in 20 it`s free.

While about 10% 15% of those trying have done it in 30 none ate it for free

You should be proud only missing by 8oz is a huge attempt.

My friend and I did a 16 inch sausagemushroom pizza in 12 mins for a lark and that was the first and last time I`ll do that binge type eating. My system was FUed for 4 or 5 days. My friend and I often eat a whole pie when we go out but sitting at the table eating at a human pace we normally take an hour, hour and 15 at minimum to polish it off and we always enjoy a couple of frosty maltedgrain based beverages along with it.
