I must have spent the last 10 years in a box as I did not know Joe Strummer of the Clash ran 3 marathon's : runningmagazine.ca/the-scen...

I'm pretty sure running a Marathon after 10 pints of beer is not recommended faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-cl...

I've also been a fan of the bands The Postal Service and Deathcab for Cutie for some years now, but I had no idea the front man Ben Gibbard is a serious trail runner: youtu.be/DdH98vi3Vss(Not working as expected?) He stopped drinking altogether I think.

Happy Friday!

My goodness me, he said he did not run at all for 4 weeks before any of the three marathons he ran and drank 10 pints the night before the 26 mile run, wow, after all that his time was 3 hours 30 minutes. 😊 🏃

Joe Strummer does not recommend that for any other person.

I know, it’s just crazy. Don’t think I could have done that even in my 20s! I much prefer Ben’s Gibbard’s approach. 🙂

Strummer? Legend! London Calling was one of my first few treasured albums...I didn't know he was a runner! 10 pints? He was still quite young even then, but even so, that does not sound like a great carb loading strategy given the groggy heed and dehydration he'd likely have in the starting pen. Artistic licence maybe?

Wow that is just unbelievable! Seriously harcore!

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Lordi]

Yeah Strummer! I never would have pegged him for a runner. Haha yes maybe some licence there! The bathroom breaks alone would add so much time! 😳😁
