Another drunk run, this time with a terrible pace but I got it done
I don't do it often, but some days when I deviate from my diet and fitness plan a bit too much I end up having a late night guilt that I can only overcome if I get out there and do something. This time it happened late at night when almost everything was closed and very few people were on the street. I was NOT fast at all and honestly, didn't even try to be. I just wanted to get out there and get moving for a while as a sort of penance for the damage I did to my body during my 8 hour party weekend time.
The day was a lot of fun and I have no illusion that the damage was reversed by this little bit of exercise, but hell, it was better than doing nothing!

This is a very weak pace, even by my mostly-focused-on-weights approach to cardio but the idea when I left my house was to get about an hour's worth of cardio in, hell or high water. I'd like to say that it was easy and when I started it kind of felt that way. It didn't stay that way though as my pace worsened as the run became jog became more walk than anything else.

During a sober jog I can normally maintain a near 6min / km pace but the legs weren't really cooperating, I was pretty drunk, and even though I had some of my favorite tunes on, I was finding it difficult to stay motivated to push forward. I would say that other than the first km, I didn't run a full km of any of the following ones and the last half km was pretty clearly a cool down walk back to my domicile.
I was less impressed with this performance than I have been with drunk runs that I have done in the past. But I guess you could say that I achieved my goals because the only real objective was to get my heart rate up for around an hour.
The good news was that I had no difficulty falling asleep afterwards and it was time for me to do that probably before I even left the house to go on the run in the first place. The bad news is that 600 calories, which is likely not an accurate readout of how much I burned anyway, doesn't even come close to the amount of "sin" that I committed in the hours leading up to that run.
Now for a week of living healthy and in all liklihood I'll be back to living irresponsibly come next Saturday :)

I don't do everything perfectly and I am NOT a very disciplined person, which is why I call myself a "normie." However, I do manage to maintain balance in my life and brought myself back to a normal weight after skyrocketing to nearly 250 lbs years ago. You can do it too!
Well it must have done you some good. I don't get drunk too often, but haven't run when I was.
!BEER
well if you ever find yourself in that situation it can be a lot of fun. I have fallen down and destroyed a phone by doing this in the past though, so I realize that this is actually a pretty stupid idea on my part.

well that makes me feel good about myself haha. I normally look at your level of cardio dedication with a sense of awe. You're killing it out there buddy!
What is this beer mile you refer to? Is this an organized event?
When I was younger if I missed the last train which was often I would take the 30km walk home and surprisingly would arrive home sober. The shit we do when we are drunk is nuts as I would never contemplate doing that now. The positives is you most likely sweated the alcohol out your system whilst doing the run and went to bed sober .
30km walk? That must have taken all night.
30 km walk home? Wow, that would be a full day hike for most people :D
"The only real objective was to get my heart rate up for around an hour."
Have you ever checked your heart rate when really wasted? It´s racing! At least in my case :D

My heart rate monitor broke a long time ago so I don't really know what my BPM is and I just estimate based on past experience or how light-headed I am feeling :P . I should borrow my friend's expensive watch one night on a drunk run and see what the readout it.
I don´t have a heart rate monitor either, I just know that when I´m really wasted and I´m already in bed, my heart is racing like crazy. I tried to count it and it was at least 2 beats every second, which means 120 or even more BMP... When I wake up the next day with a severe hangover, the rate is a bit lower but still way above my (sober) average...
interesting. Well I always just assumed that my heart rate was higher when I was drunk because i have a DGAF attitude and will actually push myself harder than I normally would when sober :)
