Love the beer mile! I did it with friends and family once. My best time is just over 10 minutes. The only other person to do all 4 beers, a non-runner, took substantially longer. Some people did 2 beers, 4 shots, or a combination of things... Cheaters. I often ask people what they find more impressive - running 4m 28 for the beer mile (WR) or running 5m 25 at 9 months pregnant (Makenna Myler). Most people say the pregnant one - fair - but I also challenge them to just drink 4 beers in 5 minutes - a tall task in itself!
The alcohol is not the issue - to my experience you don't feel it during those 7-8 minutes of running. The challenge is drinking when you are gasping for air and finding the space for four beers (1.4l) when the average stomach has a capacity at around a liter. I think alcoholfree beers gives a quite realistic experience.
@@runningchannel Turn it in to a trail run and swap out the non-alcoholic beer for 12oz bottles of Coca Cola and maybe! Otherwise, I think I'd only make it two laps before barfing like Jess! 🤣
Great video guys. I love this team of presenters that the running channel has assembled. Great camaraderie between everyone it’s great to watch. It might be fake 🍺 but it’s still fizzy so well done everyone. More group challenges please
Beer mile races are by far the best race events there are. Just a party all around, especially when you stick with the true rules, 5% beers in a can and if you vomit you add another lap. My best time is 5:45 and have a race on October 1st. So, pumped for it.
Many years ago I had a few swigs of wine and ran a 5k about an hour later. I ran one of my fastest times and thought I'd found my magical elixir! I was a Sunday league footballer at the time, so in my wisdom I drank a glass before my match one morning expecting similar benefits. BIG MISTAKE! I felt truly awful, played terribly, wanted to puke at half time. Alcohol is never the answer!
Doesn't really make a difference for the mile as it takes some time for the alcohol to pass into the blood. The main challenge is definitely the carbonic acid.
May I suggest the chocolate milk mile next? Ran one a little over a year ago to celebrate the end of finals at uni and running sub-6 minute mile pace with over a liter of dairy in you is not pleasant.
🍻 I'd like to see one of just that volume of water, sports drink & soda among the different presenters. 🍺 I can't fathom jogging with 48 oz of water sloshing around. Proud of all of them! Loved the 🦆 sounds!!
🍻Love a beer mile! What a fabulous idea! Still love Annas beer mile from a few years ago where she dressed up and ran around to the different bars around the area!
I can't stand beer ordinarily, so there is absolutely nothing appealing about the thought of doing it myself. But it sure is fun to watch other poor schlumps suffer!
If you want something a bit more tame Stratford-Upon-Avon do the beer relay tempo run, it's so much fun! Would love to see you guys do that and see if you can win it! 🍻
🍺 🍻 Great video, great idea to do something different than the regular serious stuff. Inspiration for next time could be a chocolate milk run. We have done some chocolate milk challenges, that stuff can be hard on your stomach😅.
At University we hat Beerathlons. 2 Person teams, 1 case of beer (20 bottles, 0.5 litres each), 3 km. You had to carry the case completely dried over the finish line.
A 'Hash' on track. Lol. I have fond memories of the Nottingham to Grantham Canal Run and the organiser suggesting to people that if they wanted to join him for a beer at a pub near to the 26 mile point all were welcome. I didn't take him up on his kind offer. Lol
🐵Wait, that's not a beer, that's a monkey. 🐨 Ohh a Kola Bear? No? Ok, hang on... 🍻🍺 There we go. Cheers. *bbrruuuppppp* Great video. Have already suggested to my group that we do this as well. 🤣
That video was very fun to watch, but I have to say that Sully has the wooden spoon really. He poured half his beer into the bucket instead of drinking it so that means DNF with the beers. Maybe next time everybody is allowed to choose one drink and every participant has to go through all of them. For example, if A chooses coffee, B wants beer, C prefers milk and D says energy drinks, then all four need to drink coffee in lap one, beer in lap two, milk in lap three and energy drinks in lap four. Everybody would have their own strengths and weaknesses with the drinks.
@@DevonPixie1991 Vomiting happens by accident so I do not think that you should be so strict about that. But pouring the liquid away is cheating on purpose.
Great outro, Sarah. I'd have to agree that the NA beer removes a significant element. Don't you guys have Uber, or a least a van pool to drive inebriated runners back home? Next, I'd say, as a challenge, I'd accept chocolate chip cookie, pancake, or donut 5K (one per lap), ice cream bar mile or muffin mile are reasonable alternatives. Spaghetti and sauce mile? Pizza mile? ROOT BEER MILE! Regardless, 🍺.
Non-alcoholic beer is still quite the challenge! However, a sparkling mile with something like La Croix could’ve been interesting too. The carbonation is what really kills you.
There was a beer mile recently around where I live and it was HILARIOUS 😂 Everyone was absolutely smashed! It was fancy dress too so that was even better! 👀🤣
something i myself would not do ever, as beer for me never goes down well at all, but to each their own , if someone has fun on this type of event, then let it be, enjoy
That was really fun to watch. It seemed sort of mean to not keep the "beers" on ice for the runners. Consuming warm beer during an "athletic event" must be so hard. 🍺🍺Thank you for making this video and for the sacrifices made by the presenters.
Why is mine the frothy hot one!? 😆 🤢 Loved the duck censor, and keeping the fun and silliness in something so many of us take so seriously!! Next time have Rick be the official commentator! 😆 🍺 🍻
@@runningchannel Absolutely! A nice mix of serious training videos, race videos of all distances, exciting challenge videos, and silly fun videos caters to all aspects of running. I know you catch some caca for the silly videos, but those people probably need them the most! 😆 Keep up the great work!
Fun fun fun! Can't even drink 4 pints of water in an hour run, let alone beers in a mile. Well done everyone, even to Sully for making the race tight by cheating haha!
This is a far less glamorous than I originally envisioned. Absolutely hilarious no doubt. But after watching this video, I no longer want to attempt a beer mile.
🍺Now imagine if it WAS alcoholic beer? Aww now that would have been a thing to see. lol I'd love to see you guys do an episode on hashing. We do this kind of thing all the time.
Love it! Always need to keep running fun. Alcohol takes 20-30 mins to kick in so whether alcoholic or not, it’s the body vs bubbles that makes the challenge. Anna for the Burp Win🥇👌
I’ve done a few beer miles. The trick’s to buy your beer that morning, keep it by your desk in work and shake the cans as hard as possible at regular intervals. Turn it into a fun office activity and have your colleagues help out! If it flattens the beer enough, it makes it easier by the time you get to run time. Of course, this could be considered cheating!
Non alcoholic... Really!? You might as well have had irn bru. No up vote from me.... Really you've let yourselves and the channel down... shame. The Anna beer run video was a treat... was it 3 yrs ago!
@@runningchannel I've been racking my brain trying to answer that question and everything I come up with you have already done! You all are just so creative and fun, love the channel!
This was brilliant. So funny. I'd love to have taken part in this myself with you all. It would have been interesting to see how I'd have fared. I definitely would have had a horrible stitch, and probably been sick. 🤑,Would I have got an extra lap forfeit if I did? 😆 🍺 I love the humour in these challenges, you're all such a good sport, and fun to watch. And I really like Jess. 👍
I ran a beer 4k where every klick you had to drink about 3 to 4 oz of beer. I came to the first table grabbed the beer while running and slammed it. I was expecting a light lager but instead it was a sour, which I hate. It all instantly came back out of my mouth and nose and shut me down for 100 meters. Never again...
