Beer Mile

[Doc]

Was looking for something via google this morning when I stumbled across BeerMile.
Bascially it involves running a mile and drinking a beer every quarter mile.

Sounds like a great Uni Orientation event

Sounds like the sort of thing the Hash House Harriers (a drinking club with a running problem) would do.

Are you suggesting it should be kit and kilometer... ?

Sort of off-topic but not, there's also this fine fellow: http://exercisingwhileintoxicated.wordpres...rs-in-13-miles/

No, I was referring to a "metric" brewing thread from last week

Man I'd totally be in that

That is amazing.

I did the 10/20 (10 pubs, 20Km) run last year, it wasn't that tough.

I think the secret to that is being able to comfortably run the 20kms whilst sober, before attempting to do it when drinking :lol:

The old Beer Mile (www.beermile.com) is getting a bit of a following in different parts. The rules are pretty simple - 1 can/bottle of beer, followed by 1 lap of a standard running track, repeat three more times. There is a 10m skull-zone in which your beer must be consumed, no chundering is permitted and if someone does puke they have to do another lap for their efforts. I happen to know some athletic-types who partake in a beer mile event in Adelaide that is held each Anzac Day, and the winning time is generally around the 7mins 30 sec -ish. Part of the trick with this is obviously keeping the beer down and the running pace up as the race unfolds... It does pay if you can run a bit, but I have seen plenty of guys and girls who can run a lot faster than me take 15+mins to finish the beer mile epic...

I'm inspired... what a great story

I've done a 1/2 marathon and couldnt think of much worse than 13 beers to accompany it...

 

[stillscottish]

14 beers?

All this reminds me of the Mumbles Mile we used to do at University in Swansea, (Old South) Wales. 14 Pubs situated on a single road, a mile from the start to the finish at a particularly awful club. Sadly several of the pubs shut down, but it's still a challenge...

That was like reading a Warwick Todd book but without the cricket. I'm semi motivated to climb Mt Lofty with a dozen beers. It would probably only take 1 or 2 Adelaide brewers to convince me that it's a good idea.

I used to umpire football and we did a similar thing for our last training night.

5km run with 5 pubs. The pubs were at different distances apart - like 2 were next door to each other.

The rules were 1 beer per pub, but those who were umpiring the Grand Finals had to drink 2 pots of coke.

Coke was harder cause of the gas.

It was a great night.
