beer mile

after reading the musings of The Beer Runner and the tweets of U.S. Olympian Nick Symmonds, i’ve found a new goal to pursue…a “Beer Mile.”

according to beermile.com, the rules are pretty simple…four cans of beer and four laps on a track. if you…ummm…hurl before finishing you have to run an extra lap.

how does one train for a beer mile? here’s how Nick prepared.

how fast did he run his beer mile? 5:19 with no penalty lap necessary.

how fast could i do a beer mile? i dunno but i’d like to think i could go sub-7 at the minimum.

anyone want to volunteer to be my designated driver?
