Triple Century attempt

Exactly. My goal is to have half of the miles done by this evening, beers for now are just to lighten the burden of the last days.

Thanks to those who follow my story. Here is the last update.

I did not sleep very well, hard to fall asleep and I was awake quite early, but legs are ok and I don't feel hungover at all so no worries. 2 beers with breakfast, I have stuff to do before another 2 hours slow run. I could not sign up on imgur but manage to upload those pictures.

13h 21,5mi 12 beers

following the story. Good luck!

Back in my day, we just called this "the weekend."

19.4mi 6:24min/mi this morning. Rain was not fun and the middle of run was really boring, but legs are still ok. I'm a little ahead of planning but I'm not overdoing it, I should be fine mile-wise.

Right now I'm eating pasta and drinking slowly, feeling fine!

19 hours, 40,9mi 15 beers

Good luck!

Denmark?

Guys, as I said before, I do not need to follow any of the rules you are pushing. You are not the judges of a competition, I'm gonna do whatever I want. Call me Mike Rossi if that pleases you, I really don't care. Half-pint 5% rate is considered as 1 alcohol unit here, so that's what I decided to go with.

What a load of crap. Don’t they have the metric system where you live? So why not also choose 100km? But you did choose the smaller metric beers because you know it’s the beer drinking that is the most difficult part. Nice thinking there, Rossi the thing. Loser. Hell, why not bike some of it and claim your rules require you just cover the distance by human power. Or is that coming up next?

It’s 100miles and 100 12oz beers in 100 hours.

You know you’re cheating it and why you are cheating it. A third less beer is way easier.

"I'm running 100km instead of 100 miles because that's how the path I run on is measured."

"I'm giving myself a week to do this because it works out better that way with my schedule."

"I'm not going to drink the full 100 x 12oz of beer because it is more convenient not to."

baby beer

Sad act American dweebs, put your imaginary rule books away.

Go on our continental friend. Run hard, drink up.

if all the beers were the 7.5% in this pic (I know they're not, some in the first pic were Carlsberg) then only 94.6 beers of 250mL is the same alcohol volume as 100 12oz at 5%. So closing the gap somewhat depending how he splits them.

This all spot on. For people like us it's a drinking challenge, not a running challenge. Your runs don't even need to be planned. They're filler for the time when you're not drinking. Starting to get drunk? Go run 5 miles. You don't have to be regimented with a set schedule, but always have a drink in your hand. That can be beer or water (you'll need a lot of that). Movie drinking games are also a fun way to get the beers.

Another suggestion in the interest of safety is to run with somebody.

OP stated up front what he was going for, so I see no foul play happening. He isnt trying to hide what he is doing. He admitted freely that it is 100/100/100 with an asterisk next to it.

What I do have an issue with is that he isnt drinking 33cl beers because he wants to drink "good beer," but then he drank a bunch of Carlsberg...

Keep it up OP we believe in you

Pretty damn fast run paces for 100mi in a single week

You are totally right. I was going for Carlsberg because the taste is not too strong so I hoped I would not get bored too quickly, but that was a mistake. It's worse than I remembered, now I don't want to drink it anymore that's why I switch to more tasty beers. That would be my advice for somebody wanting to try: you are going to drink a lot of beers, so choose a brand you really want to drink.

The 11,1 mi run of tonight was really really boring. By chance I came upon friends so I tagged along for a part of their interval training. That was stupid now I feel tired (but less bored).

26h 52,2 mi, 20 beers.

How do you not poop your pants while running?

OP, I know you don't want to engage with the trolls, but surely you acknowledge that 100 beers from a smaller container does not equal 100 beers from a larger container?

I definitely support you drinking the 25cL bottles if they taste better and are more convenient, but surely you'll be an honest man and drink 142 of them to make it equal to 100 US beers?

Come on OP, be sporting. And good luck!!!!

Hey, side tangent.

I would love to do this but have never sniffed 100 miles in a week in my life and am very injury prone so I never will. How slow can you run on these miles for it to count?

OP will do the right thing, I know it wrote:

33 cL at 5% is more than 25 cL at 5%, there is no doubt about it. As I said in the first post, I decided that "one beer" would be what I always called a beer, ie at least 25cL at 5% (and it's the alcohol unit here, in the UK it's 4%). Other people have done harder things, sincere congrats to them, I'm not aiming for a record or anything so I'm going to try to my thing. I might drink more if I feel like it on Friday and Saturday because I'm going to be partying with friends, but not necessary beers and not necessary before 10PM (end of the challenge) :)

You da man, bro. Keep up the good work. 52 miles in 26 hours - you're a beast
