"Distance" Beer Challenge

You have to run a mile then drink a beer then start your next mile.

How many "reps" could you do?

I would give myself like 6/7 I'm a lightweight.

First - Define run.

Second - There was video of a guy doing this for a full marathon I believe. It was a while back and I'm fairly certain it was on Letsrun, because where else would something that running-insane come from? By the end the guy was yelling at the people he had passed when he would stop and they would pass him back. Quite the rivalry seemed to brew - pun intended.

Running definitely needs to be defined.

I could walk a marathon while drinking beers. If I walked it slow enough, say in like 8 hours, I could come close to 26 beers as well.

Couldn't drink, then run, drink, run, and so on though.

I could do 15 beers/miles in under 2 hrs.

I'm doing a 24/24/24 beers/miles/hours this weekend, and may at the end decide to see how much further I can go 1/1/1 until I have to call it quits... If I were really going for it I think 15 each in 2 hrs is reasonable to expect.

What the OP has described is basically the London marathon.

Those Brits do love to drink.

This doesn't seem that hard.

Begin 24 mile run at midnight.

Drink a beer a mile starting at mile 20.

Finish run and have 3 more beers when stretching/eating/showering.

Go to bed at 4:30am

Awake at 10:30/11am

Drink remaining 17 beers in the 13 hours you have left.

Easy.

For the define run thing I would say a little over MP, although anything between HP and Recovery Pace would be equally interesting.

I was going to say you have 10 min per set in the original post but I didn't want to exclude anyone. I didn't think of doing it based on pace.

The 15 in 2 hours would be pretty impressive.
