Sorry, but you're just wrong about this.

The OP should follow beer mile rules.

Pertinent parts:

5. Competitors must drink canned beer and the cans should not be less than 355ml (the standard can volume) or 12oz (the imperial equivalent). Bottles may be substituted for cans as long as they are at least 12 oz (355 ml) in volume.

8. Beer must be a minimum of 5% alcohol by volume. Hard ciders and lemonades will not suffice. The beer must be a fermented alcoholic beverage brewed from malted cereal grains and flavored with hops.

Oh my god, I do not give two sh*ts. I was just standing up for the OP after people are ripping him for something he clearly addressed and because he is foreign can't do anything about the size of the beers he can buy. You've obviously never been outside of the country you uneducated, small minded buffoon.

As this thread goes on I care less and less about people who have never run more than 50 mi in a week to begin with b!tching about the relative volume of the cans.

Looking forward to more updates!

GO OP!

To be fair I could drink 33cL beer can, but that's the cheap atrocious stuff. Nevermind, I was expecting this kind of welcome from this forum that is not well-know for its positivity and fair treatment. "Trying to get recognition" lol, as if I wanted to be famous for this kind of achievement! That's ok, I'm just sharing for the ones who might find it fun, like when I enjoyed reading the topics of those who did this before me. Thanks for cheering, I hope you will find this entertaining.

4h 21,5mi 5 "too little to be acknowledged" beers :) (thanks for the suggestion)

You are probably not going to make it through this alright?

You're drinking 100 beers, I retract all support I had given previously. Stop being a beer snob, cheap beers deserve love too!

(The time to drink cheap beer is things like this, bachelor parties, drunken events, etc.)

Actually, he has stated that he can buy that size of beer.

I guess you missed that one. You were probably too busy traveling the world feeling superior to people who choose not to (which, for the record, is not me).

To everyone complaining about the size of the beers:

As I mentioned in a previous post, 33 cL beers are quite close to a standard 12 oz beer! 33 cL is 11.1586 fl ounces.

In other words, to drink the equivalent of 100 12 oz beers, he will need to consume 107.5 (not exact, but close enough) of his beers. Yes, there's a difference and I do believe he should go for the 107.5, but you are all acting like they are tiny beers. The difference between the two is 0.8414 ounces, or 1.68 tablespoons.

Go read the OP again. He is drinking 25cL beers. Someone else suggested 33cL to at least "be close."

Those 25cL beer going to be 25,000 cL when 35,500 cL is needed. 10,500cL is almost 30 twelve oz beer short! (10,500 / 355).

Of course what really matters I think is alcoholic content, and ABV is something I don't feel like working out.

Going to bed. Will post pictures tomorrow.

5h 21.5mi 10 beers

don't listen to the haters. just keep us updated!

fyi (not directed to OP, but to all others who can't do math but still complain): if you really wanted to make sure he's drinking "the right" (i.e. arbitrary) amount of beer, the calculation would be :

100*12 = x ... total number oz

x*0.05 = y ... required alcohol

z... alcohol intensity of OP's beer

y/z = a ... required number of oz OP should drink

a*2.95735 = b... required number of cl OP should drink

b/25 = required number of 25cL beers OP should drink

or in short

required number of beers OP should drink = 100 * 12 * 0.05 / z * 2.95735 / 25 = 7.09764/z

which e.g. would be equal to 118.294 with 6% beer (z=0.06). you're welcome.

but all that doesn't matter, it's his challenge. go for it!

Although cheap beer sucks if you're only having 1-5, it'll be much more difficult to handle 100 of anything but cheap, simple beer.

If you get really drunk anytime except the very end, you're doing it wrong. Best of luck and keep the thread going.

Did he really knock out 21.5 miles to get started, then go to bed. Great strategy. Im guessing someplace in the UK.

I love threads like these! Keep up the good work, it's always fun to follow along.

So, I've been thinking about how I'd do it. And in the spirit of doing it with a couple of friends, this is what I came up with. basically, it centers around 25miles and 25 beers a day, averaged at 10min miles. This also allows for a handful of hours to work with if you slow down or fall off schedule (drunk people tend to do that).

6am: Wake up. 30min hydration and bathroom.

6:30am: Run 15miles (plus shower).

9:30am: Drink 15 beers (1 beer per 20mins, which allows for eating as well).

12:30pm: Sleep for 5hrs.

5:30pm: Rehydration/bathroom hour

6:30pm: Run 10 miles (plus shower).

8:30pm: Drink 10 beers (1 beer per 20mins, which allows for eating as well).

12:00am: Go to bed. Sleep for 6hrs.

Repeat.

Thoughts?

At what point do we start demanding boots on the ground.

You had me at "6:30am: Drink 15 beers"

I should chime in here, and I'm sure the WR holder will as well. I failed in my attempt, ending up with 100 miles and 80 beers in the 100 hours. Those were 355ml beers, the equivalent of 113.6 250ml beers, and though they were almost all crappy beers, they weren't light beers (min. 5%abv). Anyway, good luck with what you're attempting here, which is basically the equivalent alcohol consumption as my 80.

I don't agree with "Strategy"'s strategy. 1 beer every 20 minutes sounds easy on paper, but if you get drunk it's basically game over. You want to be permabuzzed until the last few hours, at which point you can pull out all the stops. Other than that there should be no spike in your drinking - or running, for that matter. For me, 15 miles is a hard long run but 8-10 is nothing, so I found it best, after the first long run, to just do a bunch of 8-10 milers. I could see doing a 6-miler every 4 hours as a viable strategy for some. And same way with the drinking--just constant microdosing. You should down a beer on the way out the door for each run, have one before you go to bed, and plan to wake up in the middle of the night for another. Drink a little whenever you can so that you never have to drink a lot.

Frontload the running, backload the drinking.

Keep us updated as much as you can! When I did this I posted my Strava runs and put the total beers/miles in the title, but it probably would have been helpful to also add the elapsed hours.

OP mentioned UTC+1 (UK is UTC). Not sure what to make of this 25cl funny business, but I'll guess OP is in Belgium.

You clearly are doing it, at least in part, to show an accomplishment to other people in order to receive recognition.

This thread should be titled "Triple Century Attempt with Little Beers"

this.

If you don't care, then just shut up about it.
