Consuming vast quantities of
stimulants (namely
caffeine) followed by vast quantities of
alcohol. The caffeine keeps you on your feet, the alcohol takes your inhibitions and blacks you out.

Running blackouts usually result in stupider, more energetic behavior than a regular blackout.
Dude1: Oh bro, I had a wild night last night?
Dude2: What happened?
Dude1: I drank two bottles of 5 Hour Energy and a
fifth of Jack. I don't remember anything but my friends told me I played pool and darts all night.
Dude2: Oh man, that's a RUNNING blackout!
