I'm doing a run tonight with a group of friends. It will be about 10k in length but we're stopping at a pub every km, drinking a pint of beer (in about 10 minutes) then running to the next pub. So 10 pints in all then. Anyone with any experience of this sort of thing? What would be the best beverage to consume? What would be best to eat beforehand? Oh yeah, and we're in fancy dress. I'm a gorilla.

I once (actually, twice, I think) sailed the Round-Sheppey-Island race with four pints of Purple Nasty strapped to the mast. And one of those times I was 10th out of 300+ boats. Conclusion: It enhances performance.
The drinking part is my concern as some of us are stick insect type runners.
I found alternating tipples worked, so lager,bitter,guiness. but if you're a bitter drinker you'd be best off sticking to that as its less gassy - big tip: don't get too exited early on and start sprinting, you wont be able to sustain such effort!!
enjoy!
Can it be found in the race diary ?
We are always looking at new challenges.
10 pints, 10km, in a gorilla costume LOL LOL LOL :-))
a good real ale, not (john smiths/tetly's rubbish)should do the trick, low on gas and easy drinking, don't go for the strong one's though, or you will probably do the last couple of miles, running like an octopus!!
Course record is (i think) 13 pints.
You can do a second lap.
It was featured in RW about 5 years ago.
After 3 pints my memory goes.
Isn't it Wayland Snithers instead of Waylon?
If that is your real name then please excuse me laughing at you.
