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?
Remember every minute slower in pace is an hour 4d less time to drink.
That'd be big for me if I were to ever try something like this.

could you walk some miles?

Um, it’s his rules, remember, not yours. If he rides a bike for 33 miles it still counts because he gets to make the rules, not you. Whatever he says counts, counts. Got that? And despite posting for all to see and updating for all to see, he’s only doing this for him. Everyone needs to mind their own business and stop bothering him with what you think.
I had to take a short break from the challenge yesterday night and this morning because life got in the way, but I'm back in the game. 13mi, legs felt horrible but feet are still going forward so I guess I'm ok. Anyway now most of the milage is done and there is still plenty of time so if tonight's run goes well the running part can be considered as done.
For the beer part, now I have to increase the flow. I have something to celebrate tonight so it should go smoothly!

Fast Guy's WR is 78 hours 55 minutes if you want something to shoot for.
That's some good beer you've been drinking.
See, this is where I disagree based on why I'd want/be able to do this. Personally, I don't have the drive to want to throw a few beers down me either side of a run just to keep the buzz off. I would want to make it 4 days of drinking and running with your friends. My strategy, which I think definitely could be altered more effectively to load the front end with running and back end with drinking, would still want to focus on getting drunk and having a good time with your mates. The idea of trying to do this but never get drunk seems depressingly wasteful of time, effort and beer.

This thread useless without video evidence. You need to post video of you drinking the beer and running.

Can one IV drip some brews while running, or sleeping?

Idk I had a lot of fun both times. I think the method letsdrink and I advocate is the fastest and easiest way to do it. Doesn't mean it's the only way
Aaaaaaaand here we go for the HALF-TIME report! Brought to you by the liver transplant clinic.
I ran with the girlfriend tonight. 13 slow 8min/mi, but still 13 miles. It was nice not running alone for once and it will be the same for the last ones. Now there are only 22 left, if I'm still alive that should not be a problem. Now the fun part begins!
51h 78.15mi 41 beers.

Well looks like the WR is safe unless you can drink 60 beers in the next day

hmm i thought the goal of this challenge was usually 100/100 in a week. Is triple century an actual thing? or just done once by the WR holder? My friends in college would try to do 100 beer weekend (~3 days) and only 1 out of 5 or so actually completed and this was during our drinking peaks. 100 beers in (~4 days) + 100 miles seems impossible.

No remember he's drinking mini beers, 8.5 oz. You can get to his real beer count by multiplying by 0.7. He's actually had 29 beers, not 41.
The running is still impressive. 78 miles in 51 hours. I just wish this whole thing wasn't tainted by him drinking mini beers and calling them real beers.

Triple Hundred.
Robin "YP" Thomas, Isle of Man, 1978. The original and best.
Other major athletic endeavours for Robin Thomas included walking the Pennine Way in1976 and vast beer tours of the best pubs in Europe, USA and Peru. A real test of determination was ‘The Triple Hundred’ when he managed to run 100 miles and drink 100 pints in 100 hours. This took place on the Isle of Man in 1978. No less an athlete/drinker than World CC Champion Dave Bedford (who trained about 30 miles per day in his pomp but could only drink a wimpish 10 pints daily) was keen to offer his congratulations. Nowadays, Robin is aware that this was a dangerous venture and does “not want some youngster getting injured/knocked down trying to emulate me. Rules were: 100 consecutive hours; no runs of less than 3 miles; no lager – must be real ale – no soft drinks or shandy. And no honking!

He’s only going to drink 67 beers. Instead of regular 12 oz beers he’s drinking 8oz beers. The last 33 beers are the hard ones. The guy is a joke.

Ah I forgot! OP, when do you plan to start actually drinking?
He should have to eat 100 doughnuts as well.
