Corey Bellemore, the world record holder for the Beer Mile (4:33.6), ran a 3:49.05 for 1500 meters to finish second in the Canadian T&F nationals last weekend. That 1500 time converts to about a 4:07 mile. So to put the beer mile record in perspective, it only cost him about 27 seconds to stop and drink a 12-oz. beer each lap, and to run with the consequences. (Incredibly, Bellemore has actually run a Beer Mile in 4:24.x, but he left a half-ounce too much residue in his empties, so he was DQ’d.) … I looked up age group Beer Mile records. My age group would be the 50-68 (?!) men, and the world record is 6:23. I might have a shot at this… without the beer stops!
