just logged this: "I do not dread the mill. I find I can pay attention to form and experiment with strides. But one cannot hold and drink a beer at @7:30 pace. Not a carbonated one anyway. Just foamed all over the floor." backstory: sick of ice and hoping to help spur the economy, i bought a treadmill. set it up yesterday. noticed the cupholders and thought OMFG, i can DRINK BEER and RUN: 2 of my favorite activities. But alas, one really cannot. But I think further experimentation is called for. Perhaps allow the beer to go flat first? BTW: It was a Penn's Pilsner, a very fine specimen by -- I beleive -- Pennsylvania's first licensed microbrewey, Penn Brewing Co.

You know...the gym Heather73 and I go to is one of those little 24/7 joints. There isn't an employee there most of the time. And if we go on a weekend night the place is usually empty. I'm seeing a treadmill party in the making... Evil grin

Manage the container, not the carbonation. It is all about the container....

new concepts to test: 1. allow beer to go flat. 2. barleywine - not very carbonated to begin with. 3. hit pause, drink, resume workout. 4. don't hit pause; jump on rails, grab beer, chug, monitor time spent chugging, jump back on in full pace, run the chugging time at end of run, but log minus chug time to keep it honest, cuz pause effs up the pace a tad. run a bit more, but don't "count" because treadmill may be "off." 5. drink noncarbonated booze: scotch, whiskey/y, vodka, wine?

I wonder how hard it would be to do a treadmill beer mile. Get the treadmill up to speed standing on the rails. Open a beer. Chug said beer. Get on treadmill and run .25 miles. Stand on rails and open 2nd beer. Chug. Repeat until you have finished 4 beers and 4 .25 miles (total 1 mile). The thing is the treadmill will have gone much more than a mile due to moving when you are chugging your beers so you would have to pay attention to the actual mileage when you get on and off.

My thoughts exactly. dnephin, you need a squirt bottle!
