I lifted the stuff below from elsewhere. This is something I have no desire to do as I am pretty sure I would fail at the "tries not to vomit" part of it. It is also my opinion that no matter how silly one thinks an event like this is, running a 5:00 mile that includes chugging four beers is impressive.
Gallagher's training:
In preparation for his big race Wednesday, the Canadian runner Corey Gallagher followed a strict regimen: go home from work, chug two bottles of water, devour four sandwiches and chug two more bottles of water, chasing it all with a 10-mile run. Other days, Gallagher, a 27-year-old mailman in Winnipeg, Manitoba, turns his treadmill to top speed for a mile and downs four bottles of beer — one per quarter-mile — each in less than eight seconds. Then he tries not to vomit.
Stats:
Although I have a passion for beer, I have never been able to chug it and I am 100% certain there isn't a chance in hell I could do a beer mile in under half an hour.
I don't know that I would even try it let alone complete it!
