I've run two beer miles in my life; both are dreadful (19 min&20 min). Now i have only broken 5 for the mile once in my life, so it's not like I'm a great runner. I probably drink more than anyone on my team though and I still can't keep it down, which worries me.
I finished both 800m last laps (penalty for puking) in 2:32-2:35, so I think my problem lies in the beer, does any one have any tips or suggestions for improving my time?
bottles, room temperature beer, and proper pacing. After the chug, cruise first 100 and get faster the entire lap. Slightly slow before chugging next beer. Open your throat and enjoy the burn. Mostly, don't be a pu$$y. And have fun.
You are trying too hard to be a man-idiot. It's nothing to aspire to, BTW.
Why is it bottles work better than cans?
Bottles have better flow, less glug. open one of each and pour them out. Bottle always empties faster. The longer and smoother the bottle, the better.
You need to train for the event like any other race. Event specificity. Days where you focus on beer intervals (4 x beer in 0:30, 2:00 recovery). Use a soft drink if you don't want to booze it up to much, but get a feel for the carbonation. Learn how to belch while running fast.
You need to do drinking drills.
