There's a challenge called the 3 tons.. drink 100 pints, run 100 miles in 100 hours. A guy from HBT did it.

I will check that with my hbt contact as I wonder if it's a bit of a legend.

I remember someone from afd trying for a 40.40.40 and getting in a real pickle ending up with 40(birthdat) 36 (miles) but only 21 pints

I've met him.. CJ or something, they were in wales for a weekend on the beer. He did it in the IoM, pretty weak beer, 3.5% or something..

Sad to hear this news....in my forces days he was known and talked about. A corporal i knew was from sandwell and mentioned him regularly whilst beasting us to run harder....they really don't make them like that anymore.
