I’m attempting my first beer mile on Friday.
Any strategy pointers? I can’t decide if trying to go out conservatively and evenly pacing is a better idea, or going full tilt and hoping to survive is the way to go
It is about three things.
1) chugging the beer as fast as possible
2) burping without throwing up
3) being comfortable being uncomfortable
No matter what you are going to feel like crap, especially on beer three. For some reason beer/lap four isn’t so bad. The trick is chugging as fast as you can...you will see many that struggle to finish the beer...this just wastes time. Then as you are running you have to do a lot of little burps which relieve some of the pain in your stomach but you have to be careful because sometime some liquid wants to come up with them.
As for pace, I would go all out. Running at 80 of 90% is going to hurt just as much so might as well go all out.
