That is an incredibly difficult challenge. I know I would not be able to do that so what I want to see is how far will Tyler go. If it proves too difficult to do, that can only be a good thing, that means he can try to beat his own record a couple of months later. (and who knows, maybe it'll catch on).
And if he actually can do that on the first try, i would be so damn impressed. It's already inspirationnal enough to try something that difficult. Can't wait to see how you'll do sir.

When you play the game of drones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground. Huge IMLosirA fan.

this seems like an impossibly daunting task. doing 26,2*10 pullups is really damn hard imo, the marathon as well if you have only a few months to train for it. SCII wins should be the easy part, and the alcohol is the unknown factor.

definitely going to be tuning in!

This is nearly impossible in my opinion.
The order is incredibly important, you will have to be in ridiculous shape to run 26.2 miles and then do 262 pull-ups, but then have to win 26.2 ladder games (for the .2 does playing terran count as enough of an advantage that you can just resign straight away? kidding) I figure you can probably multitask with the doughnuts & drinks while playing ladder games on a smurf account that's ranked in bronze, doing 6 pools for the maximum speed on the challenge.

Here's my build:

Start with 4 miles of running, 6 doughnuts, and 2 hours of real time starcraft playing. Each win in starcraft is complemented with 1 set of pull ups and 1/4 mile of running. Take a short break, and repeat. Take a short break, repeat eating 5 doughnuts. Have 1 drink an hour. (note that the running and pull ups are not a part of the starcraft playing time, explained below)

The crux of this build is that it works very well with the critical mass of 5 sessions.

5 sessions of starcraft would be 5*2=10 hours of playing. if a game takes 15 real life minutes, that would be about 40 games. At a 60% win rate, that's 24 wins. Close. There are some timing windows where you can squeeze in a few games without getting time capped. This is the big variable in the build, since some games can be much longer, while others are much shorter. With good time scouting, you should be able to see some opportunities for some proxy gates or korean 4 gates, hopefully edging out an extra 3-4 games in the time span.
-So far short .2 wins
5 sessions of starcraft would also mean 5*4=20 miles of running. Remember the running addon from the wins during the session. That yields (24*(1/4))= 6 miles. So 5 sessions means 26 miles. Again, Close. (missing .2)
-So far short .2 wins, .2 miles
Since you double up on doughnuts each session, it looks like this. During the first session, you eat 6 doughnuts. During the second, another 6. During the next, 5, then 5, then 4. (6+6+5+5+4=26) Therefore at the end of 5 sessions, that's 26 doughnuts. Close (missing .2)
-So far short 2.2 wins, .2 miles, .2 doughnuts.

I also calculated fatigue into this build. The nice thing is that you can use the table for doughnut eating backwards, and it can fit in nicely. This gives you 4 hours to complete the first cycle of 4 miles, 6 doughnuts, and 2 hours of starcraft. Then you get 5 hours to complete the next cycle, and so on. This comes out to 26 hours, and if you have a drink an hour, you get 26 drinks. Close. (missing .2)
-So far short .2 wins, .2 miles, .2 doughnuts, .2 drinks.

BUT WAIT. We forgot to account for the .2 hours of time we get! .2 hours is 12 minutes, for which we must complete the last parts of the task. Play 7 minutes of starcraft, which in game time should be enough to get an early advantage, run the last .2 miles in 4 minutes, which gives you 1 minute to do .2 pull ups and eat .2 of a doughnut.

There is some variability in the build, like the last part, but I believe it to quite strong. Comments? Questions?

I think you should override the 26.2H rule and add in Sleep for 26.2 Hours. This would be so much more doable, not to mention slightly healthier. 1 (donut/drink)/hour for 26.2H is inhuman

I think it will be awesome, but i really dont think it will happen, running a marathon alone is hard enough with the drinking. but with doughnuts and pullups, plus the games. Itll be reallly really really hard.
Woo go Boxer, and all of the other players, every pro player gets props in my book. Just gotta have respect for someone who made it possible to live on an esports carreer.

The order you do things in is definitely a huge factor, and whether or not you're allowed to divide up the tasks (i.e, play 5 games of starcraft, drink 2 beers, run 5k, play 5 more games, etc).

If this falls on a favorable date I may just throw a 26 hour Tyler party with the stream running on a bigscreen tv while my friends and I gather and watch. Everyone from TL is invited!
