Training for the 100miles/100beers

Are we talking proper beer sizes (440ml/500ml) or the gay US sized cans (330ml)?

A real beer is a pint (568ml).

Real men don't take a week to do that challenge.

Find a local 12/24 hour race, fuel yourself exclusively with beer. Sorted.

I have been consuming 12oz (or 330 ml) beers. I was planning on drinking the same for the week. If the competition involves pints, then so be it. I'll do what I have to do.

Also, doing this in 100 hours (or roughly 4 days) seems like an insurmountable feat. Kudos to those out there who have done this. That being said, is there any documentation out there of people who have completed either a week or 100 hours (pint or 12oz)?

Again, I am actually interested in gathering constructive feedback. Cheers!

I had an ex-teammate who did it a couple years ago, the kid was in decent running shape, but more notably, great drinking shape. He started off with hitting everything hard (ie ten-fifteen beers or miles at a time), but by the end of the week, his intervals were much shorter, and was basically drunk all the time. His key was frontloading them all, because at the end, no matter what, he was pretty messed up. He also did, and I've only ever heard, of doing 12oz drinks.

I would be amazed if you were able to do it AND stay coherent and productive at work. Maybe plan on at least taking the last couple days of the week off of work.

I think this has to be done on a vacation or break from school. Probably not possible otherwise. As someone that likes beer and likes running, I've considered doing it myself.

Front loading is the way to go.

ive only heard of of 12 oz cans. we dont really have pints of 5% alcohol in the US that wont cost you a ton of money to buy 100.

i never did any sort of training for it. i think that kind of defeats the purpose. its just supposed to be a fun spur of the moment kind of thing. my max mileage before i did it was about 110 and that only happened a few time. as far as drinking im a college kid and get drunk probably once or twice a week. thats as much as i prepared for the drinking. any structured drinking training makes you an alcoholic. tolerance is important of course but the secret is to never actually get all that drunk (until the very end). you want to be buzzed at all times but never drunk. thats how you get hungover and into trouble trying to get the mileage. the first time i did it i had class and would drink a couple beers in the bathroom between classes. its a mentally brutal challenge and you'll benefit from some sort of support. i had Fat Guy attempt it with me the first time and the second time was during a spring break with friends to help get me in the drinking mood

front loading what? i was all over the place with drinking totals and mileage. my biggest day was #3 with 45 miles and 38 beers. finish with the beers. have 100 miles and about 90 beers then go hard in the paint to finish off the last beers. dont throw up

The mileage, in the above thread, he had a quarter of his mileage completed on the first day.
