Beers + miles run in a week has to add up to 140. You have to run at least one mile (drink 139 beers) or drink at least one beer (run 139 miles). What is best way to accomplish this? Should I go for the even splits and do 70 miles a week and drink 70 beers? I think it would be easiest to run 15 mile days and only have to drink 5 beers at night. Sounds doable. Starts in March ending on St. Patty's day.
This is utterly unworthy for the boards. Come back when you come up with something respectable.
Hey at times this is exactly what the boards are all about.
I could do it. Ill run 100 miles and drink all fourty on the same night, then go do a ten miler just to say I did it!
You did not catch my drift. What I was saying is that the "140 club" is not an achievement. It's like gallowalking a 4hr marathon. Big Deal.
Somewhere around 200 is where I would start to notice this as being worthy for Letsrun.
true dat. i'm sure there are some on this board who just run 140 a week. i know jerry lawson loves his beer. didn't he do a 800+ mile MONTH once? i'm sure he was still drinking beer at that time, too.
dear budorcoors,
get a freakin' life! i can't believe you wouldn't post something more worthy of the great letsrun.com. don't you know there are standards!? you have to super self inflated sense of accomplishment like the clever "Go Home"!
love,
Go Home
Sub 3:59 marathon
I would go for 200, since 140 is very easy. A few winters ago I was running around 100 miles a week, with at least 50 beers a week.
Exactly, budorcoors. Other than an attempt that was almost as impressive as the 140club to be funny (ouch, it still stings!), you at least get my point that even a gallowalking sub3:59er could do 140. See if you don't get better praises on the runner's world forums.
Sincere with Admonishing Love,

Call it the 140 Club, but don't have it be cummulative. 140 Miles + 140 beers in one week, now that's an accomplishment...something that you could hold onto for the rest of your life. Toss in 140 chicken wings and you've really got something. I could do beer and wings, it's the running that would be a problem.
That'd be decent. Since the Kenyans are already doing the 140m, I say we get them started on the brews and wings first.
By the way, budorcoors, if you don't like Letsrun, then you're a moron for starting a thread here.
Cheers to Ex-Thrower for seeing the light!

what if we substituted Cisco for beer? Then would it be "worthy" of this board?

dear genius,
okay maybe 140 isn't hard, especially if you don't do anything but run and drink. but if you have job that occupys an additional 40-50 hours a week, it's a challenge. i guess i assumed most people here were not full time runners. my bad.
crapforbrains,
budorcoors
ps - the runners world forums said such a feat was impossible!

Dude, you're either lying or exhaggerating.
Anyone running 100 miles per week is going to be a skinny guy - maybe 5'8" to 6'2", 130 to 155 lbs.
In general, lower body weights correspond to lower tolerances. True, if you were an alcoholic, maybe you could make up for it. But a 200 lb alcoholic will always drink more than a 150 lb alcoholic.
Furthermore, when you exercise, then drink alcohol later that day, your tolerance is decreased. Anyone can tell you about having an exhausting race and then getting buzzed by the end of their 2nd or 3rd beer later that night.
Based on these two pieces of info, I'm guessing 10 beers is going to get you pretty hammered. I'm being serious here - you're a skinny guy and you've already run 15 miles that day.
So you're really going to tell me that while caring enough about your training to run 100 miles per week, you're getting smashed 4 or 5 times in one week? And the amazing thing is that you feel well enough to run the next day. AND you do this every week for a few weeks in a row?
No way.
And what's more, everyone on this board is lying about how much they can drink.
You know who drinks 20 beers in one night? My friend that weighs 240 lbs, that's who. You know who almost died from trying to take 21 shots on his birthday? Another friend who's 6'4", 230.
All you 150 lb. runners who think you can run 15 miles in a day, have 15 drinks that night, and then even move the next day are kidding yourselves.
I love to drink too, but I hate people who exhaggerate.
that's what i'm saying. and i'm just talking about any combo of miles + beers that add up 20 a day. forget about these other claims of 200 a week, plus a life.
I'll run 10 miles and bang 130 hos in a week. Who's wit me?

Few could match your ability to come off as a whiner and idiot in just 2 sentences as well as you have.
Go back to the RW boards where you are king,

Wel, it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to drink all the beer at once. Instead, have a beer or two at breakfast, two or three at lunch, a couple with dinner, and the rest later that night. I think 70/70 is very doable, and 100/100 (which I have attempted but not been able to complete - 104 miles, 60 some beers) is possible but you need to build up to it. Good luck.
