100 miles...100 beers

If he's really going for 100/100 he's not taking it very seriously. To do an 18 mile run after a night of 18 beers is just asking for unnecessary pain. I believe it has been discussed here in the past, that the best approach is to front load mileage and then pound beers at the end of the week.

you say after 18 beers one NIGHT? It always seems to me that the challenge wouldn't be all that hard because you could drink for 12 or 13 hours of the day. When I have 1 beer per hour I hardly feel like i get any effect from the alcohol except a little more relaxed.

So on days when i wasnt just out to have fun and was trying to do challenge as efficiently as possible i would just drink a beer every hour. i would say 14 hours in the day, 10 hours of rest. so that pretty easily gets 14 drinks a day. i would just make sure i was chugging a lot of water for each beer i drank. i dont think i would see much effect from this challenge at all.

sure i might frontload as well but i think doing an average per day wouldnt be so hard.

The thing is, he isn't just doing this to complete the challenge. He wants to enjoy his spring break. He isnt going to just sit around all day slowly sipping beer while resting for his next run. What we've been doing is running around 10/11am, drinking as much as possible during the afternoon at the beach/at the house, then again when we go out to the club for the night. He doesn't see the challenge as all that challenging. A 100 mile week isnt anything remarkable for him and he's crushed a lot more than 100 beers in a week in multiple previous occasions. ALso, he says that the above poster is clearly a pussy.

Alright...UPDATE:

Tuesday: 12 miles (in the FL heat) and 15 beers

Wednesday: 0 miles and 18 beers

Woke up late Wednesday morning with tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings for Panama City Beach. Kept waiting around to see what the weather was going to do and ended up drinking and having lunch. Decided to take the day off with the possibility of giving up the 100 mile week and not completing the challenge. After going out to the largest club in the united states (Club La Vela) until 1ish and needless to say, not in a state mind to make great decisions, he rallieed the trrops for a 2am run. Got in 14 miles with a BAC no less than .18. Saved the day, saved the 100and100 attempt, saved the last beer for after the run...

This 14miler puts the total mileage up to 69 miles and 76 beers and makes the 100and00 a reality after writing it off earlier on Wednesday. It should be noted that, if completed, this might be the first 6-day 100and100 (in terms of the mileage).

Thursday starts with 14 miles (with another run coming later) and 1 beer. More to come. In case I cant update for a while, follow the action on twitter from the primary source...the 100and100 man himself. His twitter name is ssample or you can search the trend #100and100...Entertaining, I promise

Is he drinking one of those low alcohol brands like Bud Select 55 or MGD 64? We need to make sure this is on the up and up before throwing our support behind these efforts.

This might be the first 6 day 100/100? If only you knew, you punk kid.

The real challenge is 100 miles, 100 beers in 100 HOURS. Not a week. Huge difference.

Also, you can't take a day off in the middle and say it's 6 days.

Is this Steve Sample of Lehigh doing the challenge?

The challenge IS the 100/100/100. A 100/100 isn't really pushing the extremes. A guy named YP of Scottish running club, Hunters Bog Trotters has done the 100/100/100 TWICE! After the first time he did it the Guiness book of records told them they wouldn't put it in the book because it was too dangerous...so he did it again!

This would be insane, but I think it is only possible using one strategy - frontload with a 100 mile race.

100 mile world record is 11:30:51. Let's say a mere mortal runs something closer to 16 hrs. I think you could have 5 beers with your post race meal, then you'd need to collapse and sleep for 12 hours straight.

Now you wake up 29 hrs into the challenge, 100 miles complete, 5 beers down. 95 beers over the next 71 hrs is going to be really difficult, I certainly could not do it, but a man among men might be able to.

UPDATE:

Thursday ended with a total of 81 miles and 89 beers. Did 12 miles in the morning on Thursday and got in and 13 more beers after the post run beer from Thursday's first run.

Just finished Friday's first run. It was a 13miler and there is a 6mile double planned for later to hit the century mark. The count as of right now is 89 beers and 94 miles.

The beer has been a combination of Busch (heavy) and Bud Light. Most of the clubs/bars here serve free Bud light for several hours a day so that choice was never really a conscious decision.

the search function is your friend. i did 101 beers and 100 miles in 6 days.

keep him going though, it was actually kinda rewarding in a really effed up sense.

Are these free Bud Lights that you are speaking of served in sealed containers or are they in cups from the tap.

If they are in unregulated cups I must demand that the records of this quest be expunged! It is bad enough that you are using candy a$$ed light beer, but to be skimming ounces off the top is unacceptable!!!!!!!!!!

Agree. I'd like to see 106-110 beers to make up for the 10 ounce beers that were probably mixed in.

That right there is some junior varsity crap.

This post basically makes the OP's friends's little "challenge" seem like chicken sh*t. Which is unfortunate, because it originally seemed pretty cool. Seriously though, the 100/100/100 thing is just crazy. Talk about a BAMF (bad a** mother f*cker)

Just wanted to come on here myself and clarify something. All free beers at the club come in 9oz cups, and I was counting every 2 of them as a beer. This was well over 12oz, probably around 16oz but I didn't want to risk being under 100 full beers.

Anyway just finished beer #93 and im going for my last 6 miles, today is definitely going to be the hardest to finish.

Well... well done. i like the club la vela night where you got out

afterwards for 14. i've gotten out for some drunk long runs a few

times after crazy nights... well mainly its been because i have been

in foreign cities, i'm cheap, and i needed to get home, but anyhow,

it's always enjoyable.

and in terms of the challenge as discussed above... i do like that

this was less of a challenge and more of a "i want to party" and train

hard at the same time. good work

Well, nice work in that case. Keep on truckin'. I'm an old has been/never was who lives vicariously through the accomplishments of others so please get this done for us.

5 miles and 3 beers for me tonight. I need to step up my game.
