The streaming marathon is going to be epic! I might have to join you and try to accomplish this while you're streaming lol.

Anyways, I know depression is hard to deal with mate, I have some very close friends that have struggled with it for years. Hopefully you can find peace and work through it. I've been waiting for you to win a big SC2 title since the game came out. Your time is near I can feel it!

I'm not going to write something complex.

This is how I genuinely feel: Thank you so much, for everything that you give us and for dealing with your set-backs your way.

I like your vlog, it is much more interesting to hear and see a proplayer, compared to a single post, or a short interview, there is a bit more heart in a vlog i think. And it's cool that you have set your self a goal to do the streaming marathon in december, hope that you manage to get through the marathon with all events completed.

ps: And like you said, there is a lot of proplayers that would but great to have vlogs from *wink* *wink* *noch* *noch*

Seems like a sort thing when you need a medic standing by.

Anyhoo, 5/5.

Altough, everything about Tyler is 5/5.

Sweet, But that marathon sounds almost impossible (time wise). Either way, best of luck.

Isn't drinking alcohol after a large amount of exercise considered dangerous?

Thinking about it a bit, and here's how I would go doing it.

You wanna start with SC2 since it's impossible you'll be in shape of playing XXX games after running and drinking so much so :

Play and win those games, do the push and pull ups in between, maybe one set every 2 games (like, no less than every 15/20minutes). Probably insert a few drinks here and there but only a few, otherwise you'll be fucked for the running, you need to be in a fucking good shape to do that, not filled with donuts and beer...

- So maybe 10 hours for winning the 26.2 games, having maybe 6 drinks and donuts, no more. And doing at least half of the pull/pushups in between games, maybe all if you're 'effing fit.

- Then, if your body works like that, maybe take a 3 hours nap if you can, more if needed. And here's where it gets hard. And I mean it.

- Running that marathon if you do it in one go, and after that you'll be DEAD. Rest one or two hours just to get back on your feets (well, in your chair cause you won't stand)

- And then you have 4-6 hours to complete the last push and pull-ups, eat, and drink (man, 26 donuts ? URGH, the rest is fine but this....) which will be a big blow to your health lol.

You could also split the running in like 3 parts, or maybe 2, one time 10miles, cause you're not gonna be tired after that. If you're in a good shape you should be able to start running again 13/15hours later being at 100% (minus what you did in between lol)

You're going to have to do some serious planning to stay in the best shape for as long as possible :p Good luck Tyler ! It's a big challenge, but... can be done !
I'm curious to see how you're going to plan it out

Let us know !

(Military speaking here, so I know a bit about how bodies work with long efforts like that hopefully, at least mine.)

Personally I think he should split it up into 26.2 chunks of each. It doesn't sound that hard to me to do 26.2 1 mile runes separated by like an hour. He doesn't exactly have to set world records.

I don't know... I mean your legs barely have the time to warm up with one mile, I don't think it's very healthy when you have to do that 20+ times, and you won't take the time to stretch after each one, so.... I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think it's the way to go. Maybe like 3 miles at once. With stretches. Ahhh, I just don't like splitting it up so much, makes my legs hurt just thinking about it :D

its not as if its a race, he just has to run it. at a gentle pace you dont need to warm up, a gentle pace IS a warm up.

Its almost a waste to only run 1 mile though, Tyler looks like a fit guy atm and if he's going to train for this he can easily manage a couple of miles at time, it might get harder as he gets drunk and full with doughnuts, but I think separating the running into a few manageable segments is the way to do it. I'm not a big runner, and I don't know about other people, but to me the first mile is a lot harder than the next couple of miles after.

I don't think there's any way to do the pull-ups than to just space them out, maybe 2 sets a short space apart and then a 2 hour break. Doing too many in one go will make it much harder to do the later ones.

The Starcraft games depends how he wants to play it, I think just stick to standard play and if you get too drunk for that cannon rush since its fast and doesn't require as much micro as other cheeses.

I don't really eat doughnuts, but to me 26.2 in that many hours doesn't seem like too much if you just eat doughnuts for all your meals.

The drinking is the hardest part to me, because it makes the running and the Starcraft harder. It seems inevitable that you will be extremely drunk at some space in time and I'm not sure what you want to be doing during that time. I guess maybe building up slowly is the way to go, because I don't think you have time to sober up without having to make up for it later.

This is so awesome to see that Tyler is starting to vlog! I got my start on YouTube using vlogs before prepossessing into casting/filming LAN events.

I can't wait to meet Tyler at Raleigh as well as check the epic streaming event! ^^

What would be the best way to aproach this, you don't want to eat all the donuts and then try to run. Or is it part of the rules it has to be done in a specific order.

damn son... That sounds hard as fuck. You have to drink a lot of water after the run, otherwise those drinks will fuck you if you're that dehydrated. The donuts = ez status though.

I'm thinking of maybe joining in on the drinking and starcraft part of the challange. Maybe donuts as well.
