Video: Running a marathon in a luxury hotel ...by Beau Miles

I recently came across a video on YouTube titled 'Running a marathon in a luxury hotel' made by the one and only Beau Miles from Australia. It reminded me a bit of the time back in 2014 when there was an indoor marathon in Midleton... see this previous post.

The video has this desciption... "When I asked the manager of a five star hotel in Seattle if I could run a marathon around the hallways and stairwells, conference room and lobby, pool deck and bar and anywhere else that was vaguely runnable, I was shocked when she said yes. I even asked if she was sure. ‘Yes, that’ll be fine. Just be safe’ You bloody beauty, I replied."

The Human Bean: Training for a 50k by eating nothing but beans for 40-days

Here's something different! An Aussie named Beau Miles ate nothing but beans for 40-days to train for a 50k Ultra Marathon and to see what the impact would be.

The video which is 26 minutes long is worth a watch.

"Eating only the contents of 191 tins of beans over 40 days transforms Beau into The Human Bean, and in doing so gives him a front row seat into how one food, totally and utterly, dictates how he feels. Beau uses his intimate knowledge of running to compare his former self to his bean-self, logging lacklustre training for an ultramarathon that he plans on running during the final day of the experiment."

Beans eaten:
80 tins of organic baked beans in tomato sauce (13.8% carbs)
30 tins of organic kidney beans (5% carbs)
20 tins of organic blackbeans (12.5% carbs)
40 tins of four bean mix (10.5%)
10 tins Mexican bean mix (9% carbs)
10 tins butter beans (13% carbs)
1 tin of giant greek(?) beans (17% carbs)
