Tyler has proposed an idea. A beautiful revolutionary challenge that will mark the greatest combination since Chessboxing. This is the Tyler Streaming Marathon Challenge.+ Show Spoiler +
Participants must complete four grueling tasks simultaneously over the course of 26.2h. There is no doubt that only a formidable ESPORTS athlete could have any hope of completing the following daunting requirements to lay claim to a successful Challenge Belt.
![[image loading]](http://myhealthypassion.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/friends3.jpg) Run 26.2 Miles
The distance of one marathon, in the space of one living room. Additional difficulties imposed by the streaming challenge requires this portion to take place in front of a webcam. The advantage of climate is quickly overshadowed by the disadvantage of monotony as the scenery over the course of a marathon is something desirable to average marathon participants.
Running a normal marathon without any intoxication is no doubt a feat on its own. Completed in one day by only handfuls of people every accurate duration of time; this alone would be an impressive physical accomplishment.
![[image loading]](http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkqqhmmGJl1qj0reno1_400.jpg) Eat 26.2 Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
That's at a bare minimum 220 x 26.2 = 5764 calories and at least 13 x 26.2 = 340.6g of fat. The alcohol and sugar will be venomously competing for stomach space in the athlete as he rhythmically rises and falls with his steps.
There is not a doctor alive that supports the competition in this marathon which both increases the risk and the ballerness to the participant with each and every hollow pastry.
One might be hard pressed to achieve this many victories on a normal day of steady practicing. Under the fatigue and indigestion of the concurrent limitations, this goal becomes a sheer cliff in the path of completion.
How can one achieve 0.2 of a victory you might ask? Tyler has answered that one must gain a significant advantage early on, then leave the game. This is baller.
![[image loading]](http://babymalcolm.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/perfect-pull-up.jpg) Do 26.2 x 10 Pull Ups
Simply to challenge the athlete's physical strength in areas other than the stomach, Tyler in his heavy handed servings of pain and serious has prescribed an unwholesome sum of 262 bicep ripping chin-ups/pull-ups.
Separated into sets of ten, these exercises will undoubtedly increase in difficulty as the weight of the participant increases due to mass consumption of doughnuts.
This is going to set the bar for streaming events.
December will rock your world.
Train your:
- endurance
- tolerance
- appetite
- strategy
- and strength
to prepare for the ultimate challenge.
My personal goals on the challenge day are to ladder and run a lot while drinking and eating a lot in front of Tyler's stream.
Will you be ready?

About the danger of alcohol (especially in combination of the other things): I'm aware of it. The challenge has been done before. The things I'm adding to it (sc2 wins and pull-ups) don't significantly effect the difficulty of the running and drinking combination. I'll be doing everything I can to mitigate the strain I'll be putting on my body. My wife is a 4th year medical student and she'll be with me the whole time and we're using our collective knowledge and resources to research and prepare as best as possible.
The main reason I'm not worried is that I'm not going to keep drinking if it feels like it's going bad. I'll simply do the rest of the challenge and say "well, turns out I'm not a good enough drinker to complete this challenge, gl to the next guy"
Atm we have a rough estimation that I'll be accumulating 1/3 of a drink per hour, so I'll finish with about 8-9 drinks in me. If you've had 12 drinks in a 5 hour period, then you've been as drunk as I will be. My BAC should not get to levels that an ER would find extremely dangerous. But of course when combined with the exercise and perhaps my refusal to sleep when my body wants to sleep, it gets more difficult. I'm gonna go into it fully rested, I'm going to stay hydrated as well as possible, and I'm going to supplement my alcohol and doughnuts with as much nutrition as possible.
I appreciate the legitimate concerns but I hope to convince you that I'm aware of all of them and that I'll be taken care of and I won't force myself to finish if it's going bad, so that you the viewers can relax and enjoy rather than worry. Thanks! so relax and enjoy.

Where can I get a Krispy Kreme donut in Germany?
Otherwise, I am in!
|
In short: No, I will not be ready.
I will, however, walk 2.62 miles, very slowly, drink 2.62 liters of soda (19 years old :D), eat 2.62 donuts, do 2.62 pull-ups (then fall over and die), and win 2.62 ladder games (it will only take me 50 games to accomplish this) in 2.62 weeks.
Why?
Because fuck yeah, that's why.

I've never seen one here, but we have Dunkin' Doughnuts at the Düsseldorf main station. I bet Tyler would accept the substitution.

What's a Baler Marathon Challenge?
Watched the VOD shortly after he put it up, very very interesting to watch, the insight into a player's life/thoughts is pretty awesome, I would love to see more from him and other players. I await this challenge with much anticipation.

Well, no Dunkin' Doughnuts where I live, sadly.
In fact, I didn't even knew of them before I went to a conference in Berlin.
I've never seen them in the U.S. either,
seems that not even every big city there has one.
We do have some shops which sell doughnuts though, I'll get them from there.

Since it was used so many times in this OP, I can't help but ask...
How is Tyler in any way a baler?

Is a Baler someone who really likes Christian Bale movies?

I'll walk .262 miles. about as much as i can do without straining my nerd body

26.2 hours... To do that.. You're dead, farewell  .
|
26 victories, averaging 20 minutes per game, with say a 60% winrate, thats;
26x20=520 min. = 8.66 hours of won games
5.2*40=208 min. = 3.46 hours of lost games
say, 12 hours of playing SC2 while being drunk, tired, and stuffed, man I can't wait :D

wat. Anyone who manages to do half of this is the sickest nerd baller. Almost no one can do 26 x 10 pullups, an extremely small percentage of people can do one set of 26 pullups. My roommates literally sometimes start their morning off with a beer and go through a case a day between them but aren't going to be drinking 26 alcoholic beverages. 26.2 miles takes forever to jog, that's almost the entire day right there. And the combined calories of the alcohol and donuts will be around 8k calories which is almost impossible for a person to consume barring Michael Phelps unless they are literally just sitting in place the entire time.
so wut
good luck

I'll do this without the alcohol, because I don't drink. :D
|
He should go for 10 sets of 26.2 victories. That will really get him training!
|
26.2 wins ... we'll give Tyler a 70% winrate on the ladder. With an average game length of 15 minutes that's over 9 hours of sc2. At an average length of 20 minutes, 12.5 hours. Let's hope he's not planning on going for a macro game every time, or this could be the stumbling block for the challenge. I'd recommend front-loading these, playing games when physically and mentally sharp.
Running will take at least 2 hours. The challenge here will be the last few miles, fighting alcohol, donuts, and the toll a normal marathon takes on the body. Definitely possible, considering Tyler's history with running, and the fact that breaking it up into separate miles will give plenty of breathing time in between treadmill sessions.
Drinking, 1 drink an hour shouldn't be too hard (on it's own). I think a guy's body can process alcohol about that fast, though there might be some drunkenness towards the end of the stream. Finish the running before the last 6-8 drinks and it should be OK!
Donuts... Tasty at first, scary by the end. Highest potential for causing vomiting. That's a ton of sugar, which will screw with his body. Lots of calories too. I don't even
Pullups. I'm about 2/262th of the way towards being able to do this part, so I'll leave it to others to judge the difficulty here. I'm guessing this is like the running, either you're in good enough shape to do it, or not. Again, finishing the physical challenges before the donuts and drinks push one's body well beyond comfort is probably a good idea?
Good luck! Tons of potential for fan interaction btw, we can toast the hero on his journey and play along at home.

Tyler should just be training towards, say I don't know... events like MLG S:
I would do something like this in the off-season.

This is gunna be great
I am admittedly expecting some serious 4 gating during the starcraft matches

It is 26.2 sets of 10 pullups, not the other way around. 10 isn't very hard, 26(.2) sets in a day isn't even very hard, this challenge however... it's very hard. 
|
Tyler is a boss this is an amazing idea, I can't wait to watch him ladder when he's trashed.
|
Running and donuts will be no problem.
Alcohol would be tough, but spread out to a drink/hour is doable.
The wins are pretty hard, I would have a tough time playing that many games period. Let alone winning than many.
And as a runner that many pullups would be near impossible.
We'll see, it sounds like an amazing challenge and if I have time I'll give it a shot!
|
Sounds amazing =) GL Tyler
|
haha cant wait to see how he approaches this..
|
|
|
I thought this would be impossible but I think if he does the marathon first in like 5/6 hours he still has 21 hours to win 26 games, 4-gating can get that done, mix with eating drinking and doing pull ups and when your done winning chill the fuck out man.

Theres an off-season for Starcraft? I guess you must know whats good and bad for Tyler right?

The hardest part is probably 26.2 Victories in a day while drunk and exhausted. INSANE

What about the number 26.2? Why not simply 24h?

He will be doing chin ups which makes him a lot more likely to succeed since you mainly use your biceps for those

Very tempting to accept the challenge, however the amount of alchohol is probably beyond my abilities haha, I rarely have more than one lol.

Glhf nony, that's going to be real hard. Seeing as the world record for a marathon is 2 hours, that'll probably take him 3-4 at the least. However I could see him finishing it if he does the marathon first, take a 1 hour power nap to recover, and then you've got like 20 hours to 4 gate 26 times, drink 26 alcoholic beverages, and eat a krispy kreme after every game (or more sparsely since that's a lot of sugar).
Note: he did say alcoholic beverages, not beers, so technically you could count a mixed drink as one.
Personal goal: run a half marathon (I've always wanted to train for one of these, but never have), drink 13 beers, and win infinity ladder games. I can't say I'll do the krispy kremes since last time I ate one of those I hated the taste.

Not technically, obviously. A mixed drink typically has more alcohol in it than a beer. Thus the strike through in the OP.
Have a rum and coke for me Tyler!

Awesome Tyler! Enjoyed the vlog and the challenge is an awesome idea. Gl at MLG!

I have done the 24 challenge which is 24 beers in 24h on may 24 weekend.
I made it and wasn't the drunkest I have ever been but I was exhausted. It took me like 16-17h
Doing 26.2 in 26.2 hours would make you VERY sleepy I imagine.

Generally just staying awake for 26.2 hours makes you pretty sleepy lol

I'm curious as to whether he's going to try and knock out the marathon first or intersperse the running throughout the day. I can see an argument for both ways.
|
The marathon shouldn't be too bad on a treadmill. I would probably knock that out first.
|
OH MY GOD
gl to ever tries this!

This challenge sounds completely insane and Tyler is a true badass for even coming up with it, minus well actually doing it. I will absolutely watch.

I'm sure Tyler appreciates your kind words but I believe a more appropriate place to post them would be in his vlog blog lol -->link
this thread is more for discussing crushing drinks/nerds/doughnuts/miles/biceps and cheering for Tyler to complete the challenge.

I can personally attest to the fact that 8k calories is in fact possible for a person to consume, go look up Ben&Jerry's "Vermonster" I ate one with one friend, he actually ended up throwing up, but from the calorie count I was told, I think that I did in fact eat around 8k calories that day. For Michael Phelps that probably would have been a breeze, I think I read that he needs like 10-12k calories per day so something that has 8k would be like a big mac is to someone with a normal 2k calorie diet.

if you can pull this off you are the sickest nerd baller of all time.
in tyler we trust!

This sounds pretty awesome, can't wait to see it!
Liquid`Tyler Hwaiting!
|
So some suggestions for the stream get an overlay that has a countdown timer on it!!
|
Seems incredibly hard to drink 26 drinks and win 26 games. I'd be so hammered I wouldn't know the difference between my mouse and penis. Good luck to Tyler and anyone else attempting this!
|
This sounds awesome. This should be a new tournament rule set.
|
Protip:
Pull-ups/Chin-ups actually do not use the biceps that much. These exercises are focused on the big upper back muscles called Latissimus Dorsi. If you see someone with a broad back and broad upper body in general, they have probably done a lot of pull-ups/chin-ups.
I exercise this a lot, however I would have problems doing a set of 10 (I weigh 177 pounds). Multiply that by 26... and it would be a nightmare. I will be extremely impressed if Tyler manages to do this. He would be a baller of giganormous proportions.

Ten pull ups, while challenging, is not beyond someone in good(great) physical shape. 26 sets would obviously have to be spread out over a long period of time so I'm with you on that.
I think Tyler is going to have to take a management style approach to this challenge and try to spread some of these out. If he tried to save 5 sets of pull ups for the last twenty minutes good luck!

Pull-ups/Chin-ups actually do not use the biceps that much. These exercises are focused on the big upper back muscles called Latissimus Dorsi. If you see someone with a broad back and broad upper body in general, they have probably done a lot of pull-ups/chin-ups.
I exercise this a lot, however I would have problems doing a set of 10 (I weigh 177 pounds). Multiply that by 26... and it would be a nightmare. I will be extremely impressed if Tyler manages to do this. He would be a baller of giganormous proportions.
The one the guy is doing in the picture is the one that is Tyler is going to do and it works the bicep mostly. The over hand wider grip one definitely works the lats tho.

I will be extremely impressed if Tyler manages to do this. He would be a baller of giganormous proportions. Ten pull ups, while challenging, is not beyond someone in good(great) physical shape. 26 sets would obviously have to be spread out over a long period of time so I'm with you on that. I think Tyler is going to have to take a management style approach to this challenge and try to spread some of these out. If he tried to save 5 sets of pull ups for the last twenty minutes good luck!
I agree, ten pulls ups isn't that difficult with some training. However, sets of ten pull-ups after already having done 4-5++ sets earlier the same day is incredibly hard, at least to me. The muscle power sort of start to diminish and it takes a day or two before they are fully 'recharged'.
That is, of course, unless 10 pull-ups is actually pretty easy for Tyler. The only way I see this happening is if he works out every day from now until the day he plans this challenge.

sounds awesome will look forward to this

I can do all of it except drinking. I don't drink
Will it be appropriate to change that part?

I believe bear semen is an appropriate substitute.

There's no time to run out and get the donuts, and KK donuts must be purchased only after the Hot Now light is on and devoured not long after.
This means that you will need a donut errand boy/girl to scout and retrieve fresh KK donuts upon your command. I pray that you are in close proximity to a KK, else you may be forced to eat lukewarm, or possibly even room temperature donuts. Godspeed.

Of course, you should try and substitute 26.2 something awesomes in instead tho.
If that other guy can reduce everything by an order of 10 you can sure substitute something ;p

I think doing just one of these things will be almost impossible for me haha I can barely do 5 pullups, run a few miles without falling over, i HATE donuts, i dont drink, and i play about 5 starcraft games a day. I'm such a failure
This sounds really extreme though, cant wait!

GJ Tyler, I'm so happy you're finding ways to motivate yourself! Over the past few months I've grown more and more fond of you as a player and as a person. I`ve faced a lot of difficulties which you seem to be trying to overcome. I hope this endeavor motivates you sufficiently because as long as you are motivated to, you can be the best SC2 pro in the world.
Don't take it as additional pressure, but keep in mind there are many of us who look up to you and gain some courage just because we see you fighting. You're an inspiration to some of us.
Tyler Running/drinking/eating/pulling/FIGHTING!!!!

Please get Day[9] to commentate your stream with a play-by-play!
I sorta think the .2 doughnut might be the hardest thing to do. Who eats only 1/5th of a donut?!

This is gonna be so sick! No really, Tyler's gonna be physically ill. 26 donuts AND 26 drinks? Really?!
Thumbs up and GLGL Tyler! (^_^)=b

Can't wait to see this in action, I'll be up watching you for 26.2 hours, start training. (I'd probably start with the 26.2 beers myself and then throw up on the treadmill to get it out of my system.)

I'm running a marathon in December. Have to take a flight later that day, so I'll only be doing the others in spirit, ha ha.

REally neat idea!!! Can't wait!

such a baller you got this!

this is going to be awesome :D:D:D:D cant wait...wait yes i can, because the longer it takes for it to happen the more motivation tyler will have to do well :D:D:D:D

I like the Part with the "Drink Alcohol" :o

Haha, awesome but this is gonna be tough.

I see 26.2 four gates in your future.

Instead of a Phoenix in banner, it really should be an Arbiter.

Looking forward to this. The personal touch is what will bring SC2 into the future. Given our current state of technology (mainly the revolution brought on by streaming (not just in-game screen)), we're really on the verge of something great!

Would be awesome to attempt that I believe its perfectly doable if you are so physically fit that your body can take the stress and does not stop you, since 26,2 hours is relatively quite lot of time. I would probably focus on getting the running and pull offs out of the way to start with so you dont have to do them while being smashed.
Think youll have to do some six pooling or cannon rushing during the starcraft 2 games though,since there is no way you have time or focus to play long macro games.
Anyways good luck with your project

Attempting this event is dangerous, and even if you somehow don't wind up in the hospital, you'll likely be very sick. It has less to do with the alcohol and the doughnuts than it does with the fact that you're also going 26 hours without sleep and focusing hard on a video game while doing that other shit, it's not good for your body at all.

This is intense, almost to the point of being impossible.

I can do the Krispy Kremes, but the rest will be done in spirit.

Can Tim Hortons donuts be switched for the Krispy Kreme?
There is plenty of Tims around but i do not know of a single Krispy Kreme in my city.
|
I dont want to be a party pooper but this is a really bad idea. Your body will collapse for sure. The best possible outcome is that you will be totally exhausted for a few days. Death is a possible consequence since the level of exhaustion combined with dehydration from drinking the alchohol is extremly dangerous. The donuts will make the blood sugar go bananas and contribute to the risk of a total melt down.
|
well there will be 26.2 minutes of projectile vomiting which is the only reason i'll watch

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.
|
Wowwww. I think that the hardest part of this challenge is the donuts. Lmao
|
impossible ^^ gl to everyone who'd like to give it a try tho 
12 hours gaming
maybe 6 hours running
26 donouts is A LOT !!
26 drinks is a lot as well even if u are "in shape" ^^
and between all that 262 pull ups and no sleep XD
Have FUN !!
|
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!
|
Who is going to start up the betting pool?
|
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?
|
you better be happy you're using miles in the US...

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.

im pretty sure you need to do all that stuff in order to be able to sleep 26hours

I'd be surprised if he even gets half of every task done.

I will do 1/10 of it >.>
2.62 doughnuts, 2.62 non alcoholic beverages because I'm legal, 2.62 miles, 2.62 sets of 10 chinups,2.62 Victories. Not bad, eh?

Win 26.2 times. I see a lot of 4 gates coming
This sounds so hard though :o GL

I can't wait for this! Good luck Tyler

this isnt possible imo - as much as i like tyler but its gonna be fucking awesome to watch
a date would be great so i can get it off work :p gl buddy

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!

26.2 Cannon Rushes sounds great to me!

Did he say in which order he will do this ? Would be sick if he actually run the whole marathon in one shot. Then eat like all the donuts. Then drink all the alcoohol. And then play SC2 drunk. ROFL
and do the training in between one of these.

gonna be legendary to watch, alcohol will make it alot more fun.
|
My god this would push any man to his very limits. I'm excited!
|
|
|
Challenge accepted. I'll see you in december (the hard part will be the donuts)
|
tlo was pretty dead from lack of sleep when he did his marathon, but then again tlo didn't run a marathon, get blackout drunk, go crazy on sugar, and do tons of pullups
i wish you all the luck in the world and i plan to watch, but i think what i'm saying is you'll probably need the luck and a lot of it to get through this :\
|
Alcohol + sugar! A winning combination for staying alert!
|
So when does tyler do his challenge anyways?
He should do this as a charity marathon instead. Not only collect money through stream viewers, but he can also take donations for completing parts of the challenge (like I'd totally donate 50 cents or something for every 1/26th of the challenge he completes... ie if he completes everything donate $13).

My thoughts on the challenge.
1) Marathon, now as a pretty fit person myself, I can do one in 3:45-4:00. Not sure what numbers we are looking at, but I'd say this is the easiest part. You'll be pretty tired afterwards but no problem.
2) Donuts, eat 2 donuts an hour while running, after you're done you should be done with 8. The take one every hour, youll start to feel like shit, but it'll just be a mental aspect you'll need to work with.
3) As for drinking I'm not really sure what classifies as a drink. At a normal party shotgunning 12 cans of beer will leave you good for a night, 15-16 to be pretty wasted for a casual party person. Nony seems to like drinking so something like 16 seems possible within a time frame of 3 hours, but having 26 hours will let you sober up and you can drink the last 10 in the last few hours. And if a shot is considered a drink, well that's even easier, as a shot is 60-70% of a beer.
4) Win the games, proxy two gate or 4 gate every single time, he should have a 30-40% winrate even when drunk with it I'd say. Maybe 6-8 hours of playing.
5) The chin ups would probably be the most difficult thing for most people, it's either you can do it or you can't. No real trick to this, I personally don't think Tyler is in good enough shape to do it, but if you can do it, well expect 2 hours of your time doing 26 sets + the breaks in between.
Definitely possible, I'd give this a shot and stream it if Tyler does it, someone else is paying for the beer though (:
|
Hm, I know I can do all of these separately (with the exception of the pull-ups, but I could substitute in 26 sets of 26 push-ups or something). I turn 21 in December, this might be something fun to at least try, even if there's no way I succeed.
One problem: can anyone think of a diabetic-acceptable substitute for KK donuts? Seriously, that shit might actually kill me.
|
I really don't see this being completed. It seems like its just TOO MUCH. Doing half of the things on the list would be an extremely hard challenge in itself. Hope he can do it though.
That being said this will be the most entertaining thing to watch... especially when he gets around drink 20 trying to play starcraft and eat more donuts lol
|
Those donuts are actually pretty small... at least they were the last time I saw one at a party in high school lol.
|
I don't know if this is possible, but best of luck to Tyler.
I think I might be able to do three of the five things, tops.
|
Does it count if I drink soda instead of beer since I'm a minor? If it does I'm in!!
|
This will prob be pretty hilarious to watch. Looking forward to drunk laddering strats.

The only question is, are you allowed to vomit? Or does that immediately disqualify you?

16 beers "pretty wasted", are you nuts? For a casual party person? If you weigh 170lbs and drink 16 beers in 3 hours, that puts you around .35 BAC which is certainly lethal. Also, shots are typically stronger than cans of beer, and more highly concentrated. Drinking 16 shots in a row would kill almost anyone. Your advice is very dangerous.

Yea Fiwi, a 80 proof shot is a "standard drink" i'm pretty sure, which is the equivalent of a beer
|

Oh go this is going to be insane lol. If tyler oes it he is the most freaking beastly person I have ever seen, I just hope he doesnt hurt himself with all that alchohol, exercise, and doughnuts lol.

I don't think a lot of you guys have had krispy kreme donuts if you're doubting ability / willingness to eat 26.2 of them. Those things literally melt in your mouth, this is probably the easiest part of his challenge.

too bad you want to pass out after about four, and your heart starts skipping beats at about 12...

I don't think he'll do it on the first try but I think that people will study his replay and improve.
And maybe, one day, this will be accomplished.
|
this is impossible and stupidly dangerous. good luck trying to do 262 pullups (wtf?) after a marathon. let alone drinking a fifth of hard liquor after all of that. maybe you should just do a standard triathlon or marathon. it's still inspirational even though it's not totally out there.
|
i hope he has a BO prepared 4 this
|
After some intensive theorycrafting i've decided that this is the order that I would attempt this:
1: 26.2 victories in starcraft and the 26.2 sets of pull ups, one set of pull ups after each victory. There is certainly room for some of the Crispy cremes and liquor here but not all of it. I would recommend drinking a moderate amount at the beginning of the session so that the liquor and sugar can pass through during the 5+ hour gaming session. The reason that I place the pull ups with the SC2 session is to add some physical activity to the otherwise immobile part of this challenge.
2. After the starcraft session Tyler will have to face the marathon, I think he could eat a few crispy cremes here too but not too sure about how many and probably no alcohol here, just water for hydration
3. The remaining Crispy cremes and alcohol, with any luck he can drink a fair bit of alcohol during the beginning of the gaming part of this challenge, so that he can lower the standard drinks required down below 18 or so. This part will be truly difficult to complete and would leave any person in a rough state.
I hope he can do it but it could get ugly before the end, this could be the hardest nerd-athlon ever attempted!
|
Tyler, thanks so much for being so open and honest about your condition and situation, we love you and support you man! I look forward to this crazy marathon!

I'm pretty sure at Duke University when doing this challenge(where he mentioned it originated from) they used cheap light beer aka Miller light, Coors light, Bud light, or the almighty Natural Light and all have an alcohol content of 4.2% by volume. (1 can = 12oz x 4.2 = 50.4). A standard bottle of vodka, rum, whisky, and gin are usually 40% by volume. ( 1 Shot = 1.5oz x 40 = 60) He mentioned using a flavored vodka from the Alaskan Distillery which will probably be 35% by volume like many flavored alcohols including spiced rum(captain morgan) so that would probably be best to compare to the challenge his friends did back at school (1 shot = 1 Shot x 35 = 52.4 )
That's crazy if you party with people who can do 22 or so shots in 3 hours considering you viewed a shots as as low as 60%. I need to make a trip up to Canada and learn how to drink :D
|
Tyler, if you're actually going to attempt this, you should open a 2+2 thread and try to get some odds. That guy who ate like a billion hot dogs in a month got paid off very handsomely.

Puke 26.2 times ? i like the idea and i support you sweating like ever before ! :D:D

I would definitely start with half (!) the marathon, then play the games and eat while regenrating, doing some pull ups meanwhile. Once you are done with that, run the other half and spend the rest of the time eating, drinking and throwing up.

This is quite a mighty challenge, I don't think he realizes just how hard it is gonna be lol. There is gonna have to be a specific order to it as well. He isn't gonna be able to run the miles after drinking the grog or eating the donuts, so he is either gonna have to get the running out of the way before he starts drinking/eating or he can have a few drinks/donuts, play some sc2 and start running once it wears off. There is no way he can run that after drinking or eating, he WILL throw up if he trys to run that whilst pissed.
The chinups will be the hardest part because, like someone said, there is no way to 'pace yourself' or plan it out strategically, you can either do 26 chinups in a row or you cant. He might have to break his rule and do more sets but less per set.
If I was gonna do it my plan of attack would probably be to down a few drinks/donuts at the start, play a few hours of starcraft to let that shit wear off (and to knock a few hours off sc2 as well) with maybe some chinups in between games. Then I would try run either the whole marathon or at least half of it, with maybe a game or two of starcraft in between. Then just pace myself with starcraft, chinups, donuts and booze. There is no way you can run 26 miles with booze and donuts in your system without absolutely destroying yourself.
Speaking of which, as a 100% serious suggestion, if you know of anyone with some medical knowledge to have on standby whilst you do this, then I would strongly encourage you to do so. You are gonna push your body to the limits, so at the bare minimum make sure you have plenty of people with you to help you out if you get in a bind (which you probably will assuming you see this challenge through).
Anyway, I will definitely watch this in December if I can, and will be majorally impressed if you can pull it off.

The 26.2 12 oz. beers (or equivalent) alone is enough to cause real injury or death in a lot of people, and Tyler isn't a particularly big guy. Add the physical stress and dehydration of the marathon/pullups and the lack of sleep, and it's almost like this challenge is designed to be dangerous.
As admirable as it is that Tyler wants to do something extremely difficult just because he can, but we probably shouldn't encourage this.

Maybe he should stick to 26.2 standard drinks? I dunno how it works in the US, but in Australia when you buy a bottle of beer its usually about 1.3-1.5 standard drinks. 26.2 standard drinks is tough but doable, 26 beers would probably ground a bear.

In the US, a "drink" is usually a 12 oz. (5%) beer, a glass of wine (4-6 oz depending on alcohol content), or 1.5 oz (~40%) liquor in either a shot or mixed. 1 oz is ~30 mL.
If he stuck to weak beer or used smaller shots, it wouldn't be nearly as bad. Either way, it's a lot of drinking, a lot of physical activity, and no sleep.

Yeah my thoughts exactly... that's simply too much alcohol...
Rest of the challenge seems cool tho .
Good luck tyler!
|
You guys are all forgetting the fact that he has 26 hours to drink that much alcohol.
I'm not sure about drinks in the US but in australia in a 340ml bottle at 5.1% that's 1.3 standard drinks. The average male can process 1 standard drink in the every hour. So if he had one of those every hour. At the end of the day he'll only have 8ish standard drinks in him. That's about 6 beers worth.
Thats an ideal situation but still... Its totally plausible. Albeit his liver will be strained :D

The plan was 26,2 sets of 10 repetitions. So, he would be able to perform 10 reps of chin-ups comfortably in order to even be close to succeeding, but not 26.
However, as I said earlier, one set of 10 chin-ups may be easy. Now... after having done 8-10+++ sets, things get really hard. Normally you would not perform more than 3-4 sets in a day. The only way I see this happening is if Tyler trains enough so that he can do 10 chin-ups ridiculously easy, and it only reaches like 10-25% of his max pulling weight. If it's any tougher for him than that, his muscles will become fatigued after a handful of sets.

I have to say, this is an inspiration. Good luck Tyler.
|
EDIT: buncha sissies in here seriously. sorry
Its not that hard for a regular drinker to drink 26.2 drinks in 26.2 hours.
Hes not going to fucking die. Spend a year in residence and you will find at least 1 person in your building who does this every weekend. I've cleanly polished off 26ers (750ml) of 40% captain Morgans gold rum in much less time on really good Saturdays. - admittedly with serious symptoms. Which is far beyond the expectations of that section of the challenge.
Eating doughnuts is not fatal for a healthy individual. At the worst he will vomit and no this does not count as a disqualification. - In fact nothing counts as a disqualification.
Its nice to read peoples ideas on a good strategy. Its not nice to read someone say something like: "I hope he has a strategy. If he blends the doughnuts and mixes it with all 26 drinks and funnels the whole thing at once while he is running then he is going to DIE!" well no shit its a bad idea but he's not going to die. You think a pro starcraft player isn't going to have a strategy?
Don't say its impossible. IMO the hardest parts are the pull ups and the doughnuts. He can do the marathon in 3 - 4 segments and not really get tired but the pull ups take a real toll on your muscles. Something that you wont get back from resting. He will have to be in pretty good shape. The doughnuts well.. its just hard to eat when your full but honestly a doughnut an hour isn't that much food. You will just feel stuffed by the end which is uncomfortable. This is so doable. All you need is will power strong biceps, good cardio, and reckless abandon.

Yeah, I think this is going to be the hardest part of the challenge. I can do 10 pull-ups, then do another 10 maybe half an hour later, but then my arms are pretty fatigued and I would need a much longer rest to get another 10. I have no doubt that Tyler is a lot more fit than I am, but he's going to need incredible endurance to get through 262 pull-ups in a day.
|
Yeah, the biggest hurdle will be the pull-ups.
Not sure whether I will be able to pull that through (hah),
however in case I cannot do any pull-ups anymore,
I'll take my freedom to switch to the sissy variant:
26,2 sets of 10 push-ups (with good form of course).

This is also what I've been thinking. Doing 10 pull-ups is already not "that" easy for an untrained individual. I do 3-4 sets of 12 repetitions twice a weak and I seriously doubt I could do 26 on a single day in the near future. And I plan on doing a triathlon in the next year as I have no problems doing the swimming, cycling and running...only have to get faster to not finish somewhat decent.
If you want to do these 26 x 10 AND do all the other stuff, then you really have to do some very serious workout. I'd say weight training at the very least 4 times a weak. Because if you want to be able to do 26 x 10 and have enough energy left for the rest you can't afford to get too exhausted by that.
I don't think the doughnuts are that big of a problem. If you eat them immediately after the pull-ups, the body is still set to burn lots of calories quickly. And you can also swallow the rest of them in the last hour...since it doesn't really matter if you throw up afterwards anyways.
|
They are pretty mutually exclusive work outs.
Exhausted bicep muscles will hardly impact your running and tired legs wont stop you from pulling yourself up.
Obviously don't change while you are out of breath or anything :S

And unless Tyler is that single person there is every chance he might end in the hospital, or might in fact die, like the majority of people would, Mr Internet Tough Guy.
It's perfectly understandable that people are concerned about something that would severely injure or yes, even kill an average person.

Yeah you need to stop being so ignorant and short sighted lol. He won't be able to drink whilst he is running, so there is a good 4 hours less time he has to drink. He would also be unwise to drink before he has finished his run, so that restricts him even further. And it's not just the drinking, it's doing EVERYTHING in the time period.
Maybe you should show us you can do it yourself before playing the Internet hero and calling people 'pussies'.

I am just curious, how much stronger are European beers than what u have there guys? Somebody said that normal doze for party is 12 beers or more. How much of actual alcohol is in one can? For example in Poland average beer has 5-6% and the strongest around 12%.

Sorry zatic,
I don't think Tyler is at any risk and I guess I was going for a primitive cheer with banging of sword and shield, and a great Huah!
I don't know what the average person drinks like.
The group of people I hang out with may cause me to have bias.
Would the majority of people be in the hospital after a drink an hour for that long?
Ryder,
Ignorant of what? Short sighted how? why are you laughing?
Why would he be unwise to drink before he has finished his run?
How did I fail to address that there are other aspect of this challenge?
I did the may 24 challenge (24 beers in 24h) like i said earlier is that close enough for you to say I "did it myself"?
I didn't call anyone "'pussies'".
How is someone saying plenty of people can drink 26.2 drinks in 26.2 hours being an internet hero?
EDIT: I just want to cheer for him! I have confidence in his own ability to calculate the risks.

Yep, about 6.5%. I guess light beers and wine coolers are closer to 4.5-5%, if that's what you're drinking.

tyler should have made the requirements realistic @.@
definetely cant even run 26.2 miles and win 26.2 games in 26.2 hours let alone 262 pushups. 26.2 doughnuts, and 26.2 girly drinks.
Prove me wrong big son

About the danger of alcohol (especially in combination of the other things): I'm aware of it. The challenge has been done before. The things I'm adding to it (sc2 wins and pull-ups) don't significantly effect the difficulty of the running and drinking combination. I'll be doing everything I can to mitigate the strain I'll be putting on my body. My wife is a 4th year medical student and she'll be with me the whole time and we're using our collective knowledge and resources to research and prepare as best as possible.
The main reason I'm not worried is that I'm not going to keep drinking if it feels like it's going bad. I'll simply do the rest of the challenge and say "well, turns out I'm not a good enough drinker to complete this challenge, gl to the next guy"
Atm we have a rough estimation that I'll be accumulating 1/3 of a drink per hour, so I'll finish with about 8-9 drinks in me. If you've had 12 drinks in a 5 hour period, then you've been as drunk as I will be. My BAC should not get to levels that an ER would find extremely dangerous. But of course when combined with the exercise and perhaps my refusal to sleep when my body wants to sleep, it gets more difficult. I'm gonna go into it fully rested, I'm going to stay hydrated as well as possible, and I'm going to supplement my alcohol and doughnuts with as much nutrition as possible.
I appreciate the legitimate concerns but I hope to convince you that I'm aware of all of them and that I'll be taken care of and I won't force myself to finish if it's going bad, so that you the viewers can relax and enjoy rather than worry. Thanks!

Sorry zatic,
I don't think Tyler is at any risk and I guess I was going for a primitive cheer with banging of sword and shield, and a great Huah!
I don't know what the average person drinks like.
The group of people I hang out with may cause me to have bias.
Would the majority of people be in the hospital after a drink an hour for that long?
Ryder,
Ignorant of what? Short sighted how? why are you laughing?
Why would he be unwise to drink before he has finished his run?
How did I fail to address that there are other aspect of this challenge?
I did the may 24 challenge (24 beers in 24h) like i said earlier is that close enough for you to say I "did it myself"?
I didn't call anyone "'pussies'".
How is someone saying plenty of people can drink 26.2 drinks in 26.2 hours being an internet hero?
EDIT: I just want to cheer for him! I have confidence in his own ability to calculate the risks.
You are being short sighted because you are calling people a bunch of 'sissies' (sorry I thought you said pussys, sissy/pussy same shit) for being concerned about his health/general wellbeing when you only talked about 1 aspect of this challenge and didn't even consider everything else he has to do.
I mean you saying 'i did the may 24 challenge (24 beers in 24h) like i said earlier is that close enough for you to say I "did it myself"?' just demonstrates your short sightedness again; you realise he has to do much more than just drink 26 drinks right? That isn't the entire challenge? You didn't notice the running, the gaming, the chinups, the donuts? I mean have you even considered that Tyler's alchohol tolerance might be lower than yours because of a number of factors, such as height/build/previous drinking experience? Did you hear Tyler when he said he didn't really drink much back in college, maybe suggesting his tolerance isn't as high as some people's? Did you know that being tired (read: running a marathon, 260 chinups and being awake for 26 hours straight) further decreases your tolerance to alchohol? Did you consider that eating 26 donuts (with a very high concentration of sugar) might react badly to the 26 drinks inside him?
And you seriously can't think about why drinking 26 drinks (or hell, any number of alcoholic drinks) before running 26 miles might be a bad idea? You can't fathom at all why that would be pretty stupid thing to do?
Has this pointed out how I think you are being short sighted, or do I need to continue?
And I think you are being an internet hero because you are all 'herp derp I've had 26 drinks before, anyone else who can't do it is a sissy derp' when you are a. being ignorant about the fact that not everybody can drink the same amount, and b. completely ignored the rest of the things Tyler has to do.
I repeat, if you can do EVERYTHING Tyler said he plans on doing (not just drinking 26 drinks) then maybe you can call people sissies.
Edit: Its nice you said sorry, I don't think anyone thinks its impossible, they just think it will be hard and will be a serious strain on his body.
And @Tyler: good luck man, I think its great when people set ambitious challenges like this (especially when they are epic as well), as long as you take care of yourself.

All the power to ya, Tyler.
Man, time is going to be really, really tight. Even if you cannon rushed or four-gated every game, the 26.2 wins could be a real time sink ....

I'll go ahead and reveal my first draft for a schedule. The principles behind it are to spread out the drinking as perfectly as possible and to spread out the pull-ups as much as possible, while completing the running with as little drunkenness as possible.
First 15 minutes: 2-3 shots, 3-4 sets of pull-ups
Next 2 hours: Run 16 miles, eat 5-6 doughnuts during and immediately after the run
Next 2-3 hours: Play SC2, have a drink every hour and do a set of pull-ups every hour, eat doughnuts as I like
Next 1h15m: Run 10 miles
Next ~20 hours: Play SC2, have a drink every hour, do a set every hour, eat doughnuts as I like
If I'm winning games quickly and I'm feeling good, I could up the pace and finish in a fast time, if I'm feeling bad then I'll get some sleep. If I'm not winning games quickly, then I'll just keep on pace and hope for the best.

thats going to work for sure!
i hope your arms can take the heat tho!
you can do 10miles in 1:15 thats really good.
+ Show Spoiler +Now ryder... I talked about every aspect of the challenge in that post?

Tyler, you may or may not know this by now, but do not cure your terrible hangover and your body pains the next day with medication, specifically Advil or Tylenol. Your liver will seriously not like you.

Writing it out like this makes it seem very doable. Well at least if you can keep the running pace and the doughnuts flowing. I am sure you can win 26.2 games no problem in 20 hours.

I'm sure if you made a graph of one's ability to win a Starcraft game vs. how drunk/tired/full of donuts one is, it would become exponentially more difficult to win as the second group of variables increases.

Yeah I am sure it is, plus his arms and back are going to be nearly dead weight toward the end. Though he is leaving almost 20+ hours just for Starcraft. If he can win 3 games an hour I think he will be doing pretty good. He can just cheese out the last game if his arms die :D

Question Tyler, will you be playing your normal safe macro style, or are you going to go for some all-ins to decrease the amount of time per game? Is playing on a lower-ranked smurf account allowed?

Good idea, putting the doughnuts during and after the run, since all those calories will help keep your energy levels up. The pullups will be the hardest thing I think, since 260 pullups in one day is real insane. Mad respect nony, and it's real cool that you're approaching this safely and responsibly with the aid of your wife.
Our university track team did a challenge similar to this one, but not nearly as awesome. We had to run 10x400m at race pace, but in between each 400 you had to chug a beer as fast as possible. Our track coach (who was one crazy dude), kept records of the students who had done it the fastest, unbeknownst to the rest of the athletic faculty.
I think I threw up after the fifth or sixth lap/beer.... I've never been able to drink very much. ^_^
|
This somehow reminds me of the Ashton challenge, except there's not 300k on the line.
I think the plan seems pretty good though, Tyler is really fit so he should be able to get through the physical stuff pretty easily. I want to see Idra do this.
|
It takes a lot of courage to be able to deal with depression, a lot more to have that struggle be public knowledge. Keep up the fight, and know that you're an inspiration to myself, and I'm sure a lot of others out there with similar struggles.

This is perhaps the most baller thing i've ever heard of, for even attempting it Tyler deserves so much respect!

I want to do this as much as I dont want to do this!
Go Tyler, youll go down in unwritten history

that's quite the beastly pace man, good luck with your training!
Also I'm sure it's obvious, but I'd git the chin-ups hard the next few months. If you can do 20 in good shape, you'll be able to knock out 10 drunk and tired EZPZ.

Running 26,2 miles and also do 262 pull ups would fucking kill me. Creds if you pull this off.

EDIT: buncha sissies in here seriously. sorry
Its not that hard for a regular drinker to drink 26.2 drinks in 26.2 hours.
Hes not going to fucking die. Spend a year in residence and you will find at least 1 person in your building who does this every weekend. I've cleanly polished off 26ers (750ml) of 40% captain Morgans gold rum in much less time on really good Saturdays. - admittedly with serious symptoms. Which is far beyond the expectations of that section of the challenge.
Eating doughnuts is not fatal for a healthy individual. At the worst he will vomit and no this does not count as a disqualification. - In fact nothing counts as a disqualification.
Its nice to read peoples ideas on a good strategy. Its not nice to read someone say something like: "I hope he has a strategy. If he blends the doughnuts and mixes it with all 26 drinks and funnels the whole thing at once while he is running then he is going to DIE!" well no shit its a bad idea but he's not going to die. You think a pro starcraft player isn't going to have a strategy?
Don't say its impossible. IMO the hardest parts are the pull ups and the doughnuts. He can do the marathon in 3 - 4 segments and not really get tired but the pull ups take a real toll on your muscles. Something that you wont get back from resting. He will have to be in pretty good shape. The doughnuts well.. its just hard to eat when your full but honestly a doughnut an hour isn't that much food. You will just feel stuffed by the end which is uncomfortable. This is so doable. All you need is will power strong biceps, good cardio, and reckless abandon.
For reference, I am "that guy," the one that can finish 750mL of liquor in a night without any trouble, remain relatively coherent, and wake up fine in the morning. I'm not trying to be a downer, but most people simply don't have that tolerance.
Besides that, my main concern (and the concern of others) was the combination of heavy drinking with the other physical stresses, especially fatigue, dehydration, and lack of sleep.

In your post you only talked about the drinking aspect, not about anything else he has to do.
And 2 things, 1. For some people it IS impossible to drink that much, and 2. When people said it was impossible maybe they were referring to the entire challenge? Just because it is possible to drink 26 drinks, doesn't mean they will be able to do it amongst other things. I could bet my right nut when you were doing this challenge you had not run a marathon sometime before or during the challenge (not even mentioning the other things he has to do). It might make it that tiny bit harder, don't you agree? Maybe you doing the drinking challenge in isolation from doing anything else isn't a good comparison to make. And yeah chances are he won't die, he will just feel too sick to continue.
And I didn't extrapolate your words to suggest 'drinking all 26 drinks', if you go back and look at what I actually wrote, I included 'or any amount of alcoholic drinks (before running) for that matter'.
Anyway you clearly didn't read my last post so there is not much point in re-stating everything I said there again, but if you want to know why you came off as 'short sighted' read my post and particularily the part after I say 'you are being short sighted because'. As you didn't actually address any of the things I said there I'm gonna just assume you didn't read them.
Anyway no point cluttering an otherwise awesome topic up with our arguing, yes I do realize now you are the OP which only surprises me more after reading your replies.

After running a marathon's worth of distance and in the midst of doing all those pullups, I predict your metabolism will be at its peak. Couple that with all the carbs in the donuts and moderate drinking in the 3 weeks prior to your challenge date, and I bet you'll accumulate even less than that (at least in the initial hours after the run).
You know your own body best of course though. Anyways, what is the challenge date. Some friends and I would like to complete it alongside you

holy hell.. is he sure he understands how hard thts gonna be lol but hey if he can do it more power to him thats hardcore

This is almost not fair. It's such a cool idea, and we have to wait till december .Not fair man.

262 pullups within a day? I don't see how thats possible in any way unless you're a pro athlete. Maybe if thats all you did that day..but combined with other stuff?
Scrap that, and replace it with something else, and its definitively doable.
|
I would do this but...
I'm under 21 LOL
but other than that, I think I can do it in 26.2 hours ^^
Marathon will prolly take me 4 hours. First thing that you should do.
Eat/Drink after.
Pull Ups.
Starcraft.
|
That is crazy. I don't even know how that is possible lol. Marathon, Winning 26 games. And 262 Chinups? Followed by Drinking and Eating? Wow. That is not alot of time for such a amount of activity. I support it though! Big Tyler fan.
GL HF~

To save stomach space and avoid soda in your drinks which may dehydrate participants more, I recommend Gatorade Recipes from This Site. Some of them look pretty good. But one will have to drink more water than usual as well.
Source: Logic off the top of my head.
|
Have your sponsors weighed in on this yet?
|
Wow I cant imagine running after drinking haha. I figured you would do all the running first and then drink/eat etc.
@Dental Floss - it doesn't affect them.
|
Good luck, Tyler. I think that you ll do great and have a good chance of accomplishing this. Your first draft looks doable and only issue I see is the 10 mile run after doing 16, drinking, eating, and sitting for 3 hours.

This really isn't healthy Tyler. Oh god.

I don't know, wouldn't it be easy to kill yourself, or seriousy induce some kind of serious shock/bad things. I would have someone supervising so that they can call the ambulance...People faint/pass out trying to do just doing one of these tasks.

As cool as he is for doing something like this, I'm extremely worried about the outcome. This is a bit extreme Tyler, health comes first. :/

Atm we have a rough estimation that I'll be accumulating 1/3 of a drink per hour, so I'll finish with about 8-9 drinks in me. If you've had 12 drinks in a 5 hour period, then you've been as drunk as I will be. My BAC should not get to levels that an ER would find extremely dangerous.

I'm gonna go into it fully rested, I'm going to stay hydrated as well as possible, and I'm going to supplement my alcohol and doughnuts with as much nutrition as possible.
I appreciate the legitimate concerns but I hope to convince you that I'm aware of all of them and that I'll be taken care of and I won't force myself to finish if it's going bad, so that you the viewers can relax and enjoy rather than worry. Thanks! relax and enjoy the show hes going to be safe.

It is understood that pull-ups are not what is in the picture on the front page. Pull-ups are hands far far wide, and a grip opposite to that in the picture. It is atleast 5x harder than a chin-up... I hope I understand that's what he's doing.

He will be doing the chin-ups version. I think the difficulty is relevant to bicep versus back strength and personally I can't lift my ass more than a handful 1 at a time on a good day but one doesn't seem harder than the other.

Scrap that, and replace it with something else, and its definitively doable.
Rofl, are you insane? you dont need to be a pro athlete to do 262 pullups a day...
I'm not a pro athlete, and i can do atleast 4 sets of pullups with 15-20 repetitions each in 10 minutes.
So doing 262 pullups in 26.2 hours = extremely plausible.
Give it 1 hour and 262 pullups will be done, with time left aswell.

tyler is amazing.
this will be so epic.

Nobody on TL can do 262 pullups in an hour. Even a pro athlete would struggle with that amount, though I'm sure there are some who could do it. 80 in 10 minutes I can believe, but that's a lot different from 262 in an hour. Your body needs time to regenerate.

15-20 repetitions of ![[image loading]](http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_la8lnuMM0w1qe9krio1_400.png) sure that's possible
15-20(consecutive) pull-ups ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/40/Pullup.gif) no way that you will be able to do 15-20 in a row, even less likely that you will be able to do 15-20 reps times four...

he is doing close grip underhand chin ups in the competition as stated in his video.
EDIT: some people may call them pull ups doesn't matter.
its the first picture ^ in that post.
watch the video.

This sounds like the worst idea ever to do and the best thing ever to watch.

Should you not be doing 1 set of chin ups then 1 mile of running as a combo.. giving time for each of the 2 main muscle groups a small time of rest? or would that be considered cheating.

There is no cheating. He has the whole 26.2h to do w/e he wants and he has to complete all the tasks before the end.
I don't think it is a good idea to break up his running into every mile though because it would really stop you from getting into that rhythm.
The pull ups are defiantly going to be hard.

Please do a video where you are doing 262 pull ups (clean) in 60 minutes, because I doubt you can. Its just pure bullshit and every pro coach and athlete will tell you with a clean execution its not possible. I doubt its possible if you rush it, but gl.
Ofcourse you can (if you are trained) do ~20 in below a minute, but its >13 times 20.. and it won't get easier.

As an athlete I'm largely a lower-body focused, and I'm pretty sure I can do 15 sets of 20 reps in 1 day.
I think Tyler should do mid-grip pull ups, those are the best.
Chin-ups have a very short explosive range of motion.

No backing out now Tyler
This is really awesome by the way, sick stuff.

Sounds cool, except for the alcohol part. Seems you were wiser in college. =) Don't hurt yourself.

Why not just do it for charity as well bro? You could raise some good money for a great cause. There would be no obligation to donate but it's always nice idea to have a social conscience

That's true. The world record for pull-ups (the lower image) is actually fairly low. I don't remember, it was between 100 and 200 I think. Now, that is of course consecutive reps without rests so it is a bit different, but it still gives you an idea.

Blame me for that. I worded it as a challenge, he worded it as something he was going to do for himself. I would feel bad if I gave a bunch of nerds the idea that killed them.

Not to go all frat bro on you, but I have a bit of experience with the alcohol part of the challenge. In college we did a day every year where we (most of campus would try...) would try to drink 24 beers in 24 hours. On paper it's easy: your body processes out about a drink an hour, so one drink an hour, on paper, sounds easy.
Believe me; its not. 24 beers in 24 hours is insanely, stupidly, crazy, outrageously hard to do. Anyone that tells you otherwise has never tried it.
My only advise would be, if you aren't set on doing only beer, make the drinks something that will hydrate you (or at least not dehydrate you). Vodka and gatorade might be a trashy abomination of a cocktail, but it will keep you hydrated.
Best of luck.

Hmmm, sounds like one of those things you have to experience to believe like 6 saltines in a minute. I mean, I've drank 12 beers in a few hours on some nights and wake up like a peach the next morning (I don't get hangovers). I feel like if I woke up I could do the rest within the 24 hours.

Hah if you want another Gatorade + alcohol combination, try it with tequila. My friends continue to make fun of me for making a gatorita in desperation one evening, but I thought it was decent. For the record it was the red one, fruit punch, with silver tequila.

so much respect for tyler now ♥
weather or not he pulls this off, massive props to you and i hope you come out fighting and can really start getting youre groove back.
Im a massive incontrol fan, so im not gonna name names, but youre good enough to be in pool play for MLG - better then at least 2-3 people that are in atm. I hope you can fight youre way back in there soon

This reminds me of the 100/100/100 challenge. You get 100 hours in which you must drink 100 shots/beers and run 100 miles. The watered down, but still challenging version is run 100 miles and drink 100 shots/beers in one week.
As a former 800/1500 guy the running should be no big deal for Tyler. Break it up into a double of like 17/9 or even Kenyan style triple of 6/10/10 and it's not bad at all.
Krispy Kreme donuts probably aren't going to make you feel so hot, but if you just use them as a primary fuel source it shouldn't be too awful; plenty of college kids eat this shitty on a regular basis, and if your diet has been sound beforehand I don't see the donuts raping you too hard.
The starcraft winning should be reasonable, especially if he does the playing in the morning/afternoon when he is most fresh.
Pull-Ups...i got no idea. Not sure how recovery over time affects those, i.e. if you do pull ups maybe 15-20 in one hour, can you come back again in an hour or two and be close to fully recovered?
The alcohol I'd do some light drinking during the day, and then hammer it hard towards the end. If you got in 10 drinks in the first 14 or so hours, that gives you 10 more hours to get in 16 drinks, which is reasonable when that's all you have to worry about.

Not to bash you or anything but a pack of 24 isnt to much if you consume alcohol occasionaly. Tyler is a smart guy and knows what he is doing and he know when to stop. Alcohol gets hard to drink if your not actively drinking water. Lil faith in the man please

Woah you just went frat bro on a guy who wasn't trying to go all frat bro. I am also thinking a 24 pack might be a lot.. how much does Tyler weigh anyway? In shape at his height I wouldn't say anything over 170?
|
Is Tyler drinking 26.2 standard drinks (easy) or is he drinking 26.2 beverages (hard)? I don't know what American alcohol is like but over here there are usually 1.4 or 1.5 standard drinks in any beer or pre-mix so drinking 26.2 beers would actually be drinking 39 standard drinks and talking as someone who has done that in a single night - that shit hurts and most people can't do it even without all the extra strain on the body that Tyler is adding on top.

Tyler just confirmed that this is still going down on state of the game.
I'm practicing right now by watching a stream and drinking a beer.
Anyone else getting ready?

Pull ups are not that much harder than chin ups.
15-20 are definitly possible if you are in a decent shape. I mean the top rockclimbers can do pull ups with only one finger lol.
However 26x10 will be pretty hard. You will get really tired after a couple of reps, and it becomes exponentially harder.

Where I life there is a yearly challenge to walk/run and drink beer.
It's 2 guys have to carry a cage of 20 (0.5l) bottles of beer over 20 km and a drink all during, at the end or before...
Ya i's only 5l per person and 20km is not 26.2 miles.
But the time is way shorter as well, because of competition.
What I want to say: this is not that terrible, esp when you are outside at the fresh air.
Brain concentration should get way harder.
Everyone ever played drunken on a LAN, should know that ;o)
So winning 26 games should not be underestimated.
But well when you lose enough the opponents get easier^^
Keep good hydration...

This is awsomely sick. I'll try to get some friends together to do the SC2/alcohol/donuts part of the challenge.

The donuts alone would make me sick for a week. Best of luck Tyler

If you drink too much in a day, you're going to end up peeing an obscene amount of times. You can really hurt your manhood doing that.

It has been done therefor it is possible. Drinking 24 beers in 24h is something many people do and do not die from. I can appreciate people being worried about him but like someone else said: have faith in Nony he knows what he is getting into. Vomiting is not a disqualify-er. It'll probably make him feel better and clear up stomach space. Nothing wrong with that, vomiting is not being extremely sick.
Continuing my training right now by having a drink and watching a stream.

the most daunting thing in my mind is doing all that (especially the donuts) while drunk. I'd imagine I'd feel like crawling into a hole and dieing, and certainly not want to play sc2 lol

Whoa.. I actually completed the Warsaw Marathon wearing an "ESPORTS" shirt, but what you set out to do is way beyond awesome :D
Good luck!

Tyler has not set a date yet. All he has said can be found in his first vlog and he says December. It will definitely be in the OP when he announces a date.

Don't listen to all the doubters, you can beat 'em and follow your dream RockyTyler!

Please don't die. It would make me very sad.

I would certainly try to knock things down in order. Hardest to easiest. I would do the marathon first. Then do the SC2games and the pushups together. A game and a set. Hopefully will be mostly wins, and good way to get out frustration after losing. I wouldn't touch the beer until you are done with those. Knocking a few donuts down during the first part would be okay, but save the majority for before or after the beer. You start mixing all these things together and you're finished man. That is just how I see it.
Best of luck, however you choose to approach it, though.

the donuts+beer would be good due to the bread content, and also consuming extra bread haha it really soaks up the alcohol

26.2 wins ... we'll give Tyler a 70% winrate on the ladder. With an average game length of 15 minutes that's over 9 hours of sc2. At an average length of 20 minutes, 12.5 hours. Let's hope he's not planning on going for a macro game every time, or this could be the stumbling block for the challenge. I'd recommend front-loading these, playing games when physically and mentally sharp.
Running will take at least 2 hours. The challenge here will be the last few miles, fighting alcohol, donuts, and the toll a normal marathon takes on the body. Definitely possible, considering Tyler's history with running, and the fact that breaking it up into separate miles will give plenty of breathing time in between treadmill sessions.
Drinking, 1 drink an hour shouldn't be too hard (on it's own). I think a guy's body can process alcohol about that fast, though there might be some drunkenness towards the end of the stream. Finish the running before the last 6-8 drinks and it should be OK!
Donuts... Tasty at first, scary by the end. Highest potential for causing vomiting. That's a ton of sugar, which will screw with his body. Lots of calories too. I don't even
Pullups. I'm about 2/262th of the way towards being able to do this part, so I'll leave it to others to judge the difficulty here. I'm guessing this is like the running, either you're in good enough shape to do it, or not. Again, finishing the physical challenges before the donuts and drinks push one's body well beyond comfort is probably a good idea?
Good luck! Tons of potential for fan interaction btw, we can toast the hero on his journey and play along at home.
um if he can run 26.2 miles in 2 hours he would not be playing starcraft as he would be the world record holder. If he can do it in under 4 hours i would be surprised.
|
Tyler is pretty fit, under 4 seems a bit harsh, I'm going with over 3.
|
Tyler is a pretty accomplished runner. If you assumed a 10 minute mile, he could potentially run it in a little over 4 hours.
|
To the people who don't think that many pull ups are possible. I've been rock climbing for a little over a year. A week ago the power was out at my house for maybe 3 hours. I got bored and did 110 pull ups. The power came back on so I stopped. 262 is VERY doable. Just like a marathon is VERY doable. They are both great and difficult accomplishments but by absolutely no stretch of the imagination it can be done.
Plans have been laid by a mate and I to do a watered down half marathon version in late november. Quite excited :D
edit: oh and I'd be very surprised if it took him over 4 hours. He was a runner in college. He may take it slow to conserve his energy for the other challenges however.

People are also forgetting that there's no requirement that the 26.2 miles be run in a single block. Assuming he's in good shape and running in shorter segments, there's no reason to think that finishing the run in 3-4 hours would be such an extreme problem. As long as he gets it out of the way before the alcohol accumulation starts to get too high.

holy fuck how is he going to do this with booze and donuts for GU packs.
|
i hope the booze brings out the arbitersssssssssssss

Hey everyone I've been seeing allot of guesses on what Tyler's marathon time will be. So i made a poll. Answers are total time of all of his runs added together.
Poll: What will Tyler's marathon time be?Over 4 hours (9) 56% 2:40:00 (3) 19% 3:40:00 (2) 13% 3:20:00 (1) 6% 3:30:00 (1) 6% 2:50:00 (0) 0% 3:00:00 (0) 0% 3:10:00 (0) 0% 3:50:00 (0) 0% 16 total votes Your vote: What will Tyler's marathon time be? (Vote): 2:40:00
(Vote): 2:50:00
(Vote): 3:00:00
(Vote): 3:10:00
(Vote): 3:20:00
(Vote): 3:30:00
(Vote): 3:40:00
(Vote): 3:50:00
(Vote): Over 4 hours
I don't know what Tyler's weekly mileage is so it hard to tell but I m going to say 3:20:00. He ran in college so we know hes a great athlete but running not just something you can pick back up in a week. Regardless of his time I'am excited to see this.
|
Drinking game: every time Tyler takes a drink, you take a drink.
Well he sounds like he is ready to be a badass~ go and don't die
|
Sounds miserable for Tyler but if it's streamed I'll watch some of it haha
|
Holy jesus.
Just saw this. This is going to be absolutely godawful. I applaud his manhood, since I could not do ANY of this, outside of the ladder wins and probably the drinks.
Fuck running a marathon, fuck 260 pullups, and fuck 26 donuts.
How about run 5 miles, and do maybe 100 pullups? I think I could manage that... maybe 5 donuts, and all them beers!

it was not booze but collectively we did call the substances alcohol.
I dont understand the poll for his time to complete the marathon.
In this post he says he will be doing it in two intervals of 16 miles and 10 milesish so are you adding those two times together. Wont that be much faster than if he had to pace himself for all 26.2 miles at once?
I have no idea how long it takes to run a marathon.
|
yes adding the times together and yes that should make the time somewhat faster
|
Anyone know when this is going to take place?
|
Sounds cool and I will definitely tune in if possible. Eating a ton of donuts and drinking a ton of beer then going into a ton of exercise? I hope this doesn't turn into a Tyler barfathon.

Sometime in December.

I'm thinking I might do something less intense like:
bike 40k (I don't have a treadmill and canada is cold in december)
eat 26.2 donuts
win 26.2 games
do 26.2x10 pullups
And then drink like 2.62 gallons of dr.pepper cuz I'm 17

You're silly. Canadians don't drink gallons they use the metric system.

Also your 17 in Canada you should be able to drink 26.2 beers.

where can I put money against you making this? sorry but this challenge only sounds fit for one man:
Chuck Norris.
Will definatly be tuning in tho! :-) Goodluck ^_^v
|
Considering Tyler ran at Duke, I would say the marathon should be ezpz.
The donuts+beers though... GL.
