The way to do this challenge is what the PBR guy posted - breaking up your runs into smaller chunks just means running starts to interfere with drinking, and you are stumbling around. Good for a story, but this challenge requires a considered, thought-out approach to finish.
You might think 25 miles is a lot, and if you think about it in normal running terms, it is - I was always pretty dead after my 20 mile weekend long runs. But here is the key - I was doing those runs at around 6:30/mile pace, getting faster at the end. For this challenge, I'd be running my 25 miles as slowly as I wanted. I'm guessing this would be around 8 min/mile the first day, getting consistently slower each passing day. As a last resort, I'd cut the run down to 18-20 miles, and make up the miles in 1/2 miles chunks throughout the day or in the 4 hour "home stretch" after the end of the 4th day.
After each morning run, I'd sit down to a huge, greasy, delicious breakfast to help buffer the alcohol, and start my drinking. I figure waking up at 8 gets me finished running by 11-11:30, and eating by noon. I then have 14 hours to drink my 25 beers. Easy right?
100 miles - 100 beers -100 hours

There's no way he'll finish this time, but I give him credit for even attempting such a feat. I wish there were more attempts documented here, and others said, a third party poster announcing the event.
Another idea I thought of was the 1 mile, 1 beer per hour until you can't answer the bell. From the time you start, at the end of each hour you MUST have that many miles and beers finished. You can work ahead, but can never fall behind or the challenge is over. It would be interesting to see how long people could go. Starting time and strategy for this format would be critical. Admittedly I'm not man enough to even attempt this, hopefully somebody else will. -
only if it's in imperial pints

Here we go guys....60 beers and 60 miles completed. Almost 33 hours left to go. I'm "not going to stop until I reach my goal."

Yeah that is 50 miles down, not 60....still have a long ways to go but at least I'm making progress. 50 miles and 40 beers to go. I need to get as much running as possible in the next 9 hours before hitting the 24 left point. My legs hurt.
~Tyson Brock -
58 miles and 60 beers. Time for dinner and a few beers then time for some more miles. I'm finally getting moving here!
~Tyson Brock -
Forgot to count my 23 mile run on Monday. Shit. That makes it more like 80 miles. This should be pretty easy.

If thats a fake Tyson please get a life.

Tyson, wow things are looking good!! Way to rally!

How can you "forget" to count a 23mi run? -
Sorry, that wasn't me.

For these challenges I think it would be best to frontload the first day, say 35 miles, then do it in little snippets like others have said.
As for the beer drinking try to do at least one an hour during the day then hit the bar in the afternoon, then plenty of gatorade and advil before bed.
Brock, you can do this -
You guys are actually right. I'm not going to make it, and I'm a huge vagina.
Wish me luck!

I have not posted since stating I was at 58 miles and 60....stop trying to jack my thread you jerkoffs. Why don't you go out and try to accomplish a challenge. I have had 3 beers with dinner. 58 miles and 63 beers. That is my actual total.

That's my full name you wannabe jackoff losers -
I just jerked off at the track and surely lost some amount of alcohol during the ejaculation. Should I pop beer 101 at the end and have a few sips to be sure it's legit?
-
It doesn't count unless it is Pabst Blue Ribbon and all the miles are on concreet.
-
It definitly is all PBR but the miles are mostly on the track, sorry to let you down. I am currently sitting at 65 miles and 63 beers. My legs are killing me, my knees are extremely painful. I am done running for the night....I did 35 miles today! I am going with my friends to the bar to drink a bit and spend some time with the lady. I setting the alarm for 7 am where I will continue running after getting some more beers in tonight. Wish me luck!
~Tyson Brock Evensen -
do you think you could get coors to sponsor you?
-
I was hoping I would get PBR to sponsor me after this ordeal. I am not positive if I will be successful this time around but either way I am going to do it again end of August/beginning of September and have it fully videotaped and recorded. Then I will definitely look for sponsors and go on to challenge myself in other ordeals. Currently at the bar about six more beers in.

Since you're on the track, MAKE SURE YOU ACCOUNT FOR THE EXTRA ~9 METERS NEEDED EVERY FOUR LAPS FOR EACH MILE. Would be shame to lose on a technicality.
