Just had the OH time me on a 12 sec Coors
Target:
Lap 1, sub 20 sec beer, sub 90 sec lap.
Lap 2, sub 30 sec beer, sub 90 sec lap.
Lap 3, sub 30 sec beer, sub 90 sec lap.
Lap 4, sub 40 sec beer, sub 90 sec lap.
Sounds simple on paper :rolleyes:0 -

Haha, does she approve your training technique?

Right so first off, I've answered two of my previous questions regards prerace meal and beer temp. Stuck 4 bottles of coors in the freezer around 6.30 pm and had a decent dinner of pork chops and home made oven baked chips. Had lots of chips for carbo purposes as long run tomorrow (that may not happen now by the way :eek:)
Was pretty stuffed starting but didn't realise until once I got stuck into the first beer. Being stuffed was bad enough but the major problem was the beer was also too fecking cold. 2 hours in the freezer is way too much, very hard to gulp when that cold.
My 400 reps were improvised runs around my estate, I've the 2 nosiest neighbours in the world and they were literally hanging out the window, by lap 3 they were both on their phones I'm guessing to one another wondering what the **** was going on. Anyway struggled all the way through but logged a decent enough time of 9.05.
I'm still going to go with the corona this Friday but I had none in the house hence my reason for doing a coors specific session. I'm a little worried as the corona has a little more fizz and has an extra 25 mls per bottle. Doesn't sound like a lot but when I was on bottle 4 tonight it took me about 25 seconds to drink the final 50-60 mls so it is the great unknown
Right lads, I'm off to put the shopping away. I'd say the mrs is going to have some craic finding her breakfast cereal tomorrow
By the way what's the craic with puking. I got a little puke up a couple of minutes after I finished. Is it "OK" to get sick once you've crossed the line? Also I guess the penalty lap that has to be run if you puke is without a beer, is it? Finally I love you guys Brilliant
Fcuk it, I wasn't drinking tonight until I read the last few posts, I've since put 2 cans of Guinness in the freezer, poured another that was in the fridge and necked a bottle of Miller in another 'practice'..... I'm fcuked with the drinking element as it took me 31 seconds as timed by CL who won't try one tonight as she reckons she's eaten about 3,000 Maltesers in the last hour

I'm so under prepared for this.
Thinking of doing a late surge, with some training on Thursday night during footie.
Wonder what the lads will think of me disappearing every few mins for 20-30 secs coming back smelling like a brewery.
Should make for an interesting game.
Another concept that I might try out is beer interval training. I'm thinking off a 2 bottle warm up, then straight into 3x15 seconds, with only a 40 second recovery to remove the gas.
Thankfully I'll have help from above on Friday 0 -
Hey guys, I was doing a quick google search last night when I came across this thread! Brilliant to see so much hype and training being done for the event!
All the best for race day and thanks for all the kind words! I know I am a very amateur athlete but I just launched a free website so feel free to check it out and give me a few views! http://beermile.wix.com/joshharris
The page contains all my youtube stuff and all that kind of thing in one location!
The best training session is a specific one with running and drinking involved... I like to go in on a normal stomach, and unlike many others I like to drink some water before the start so I am not thirsty! Medium temperature is optimal so hopefully time it right taking it out of the fridge, and maybe take some ice if you have a long car trip to the race! The extra volume of a 355ml beer doesnt sound like much but big respect to those who go the 355ml option, it causes me more damage than a beer with higher alcohol %!
Cheers

legend, thanks. This is the equivalent of Haile Gebrselassie giving advice on the novice marathon thread.0 -

It's too mainstream for them
Craft beer first sound like a good idea for the beer mile... You should all be ashamed of yourselves by the way.

Looking at the thread below this on boards really makes you wonder .
Corona is pretty much the only bottle you can commonly get around these parts in 355ml form.
I will probably try it out this evening for my beer 1/2 mile and compare to the Coors Light times.0 -

Just to make sure I understand this right. There is a groundswell away from Coors Light towards Corona because it comes in a larger bottle and people feel that some stranger in Australia will have more respect for you, and TRR will have less disrespect for you, if you choose Corona. Coors Light is still an acceptable* beer though. Correct?
(*acceptable in the context of beer miling rather than general drinkability)
some stranger???? I have posters of the man on my bedroom wall. He's the beer mile world record holder. Show a bit of respect
Yes coors is acceptable*. The 355ml bottles are those used in the US and Australia and are required for world record purposes.
edit: didn't see pisco's post regards strength. hmmm don't think corona has the required 5%0 -
That's like asking Haile Gebrselassie if it's ok to run 24.36 miles for the marathon distance, and still count it as a world record. If you want to compare yourself to greatness, you have to be prepared to go the distance.people feel that some stranger in Australia will have more respect for you 0 -
