I had originally said 'they are....' but thought maybe I'd better include myself and just say 'yes'

Strictly speaking stout not official beverage.

I wouldn't have thought there would be any issue with stout as long as it's 5%?

beermile.com even lists guinness in its results...

Stout is allowed provided its 5% and 355ml. Terrible idea though. Far too heavy. 4 of them and you'll be puking for sure.

Is it a mile total or 4 miles? Seriously thinking about doing this.

It's called a "beer mile" perhaps go away, think about that for a few minutes and get back to me if you have any further questions?

:eek: I had a nun in school who responded to questions like that - pretty sure you're not the same person though :cool:

Or to put it in a nicer more civil way, yes its a mile, sounds like fun so go for it if you're around :-)

Civility and the beer mile are not things that should go together

Kiely is sorting out an alternative date for us all so there may be hope yet

On second thoughts, I bow to your endless wisdom TRR. So much events going on over the summer, there is always going to be a clash. Best just set a date and stick with it.

In other words, by suggesting an alternate date, I didn't think the onus would be put back on me to actually do something about it .

Who's going to miss a bunch of smelly track runners anyway.

On a personal note, I might try some chugging sessions in the weeks leading up to this and if I can break 20 seconds, then the IMC can get lost . If not, I'll just start spouting nonsense about how I definitely would have won it and TRR is a tyrant who purposely excluded track runners to enhance his already slim chances of retaining his national title.

It's a pity the track runners will miss it. I've enjoyed hammering you lot the last two years

Just realised Ireland are Playing Scotland at 5pm, some might want to bear that in mind.

We should be able to catch the 2nd half in the horse and hound along with a warm up beer or two.....

So no track runners and soccer supports? This just gets better and better . All we need now are no tri'athletes' turning up and I am happy.

Its my Granny's 80th that night. How much is it to hire out a tromboner for a few hours?

Haha......let's be honest. No one wants a trombonist at any party! Even I can't make that cool and that's saying something :cool:.

Bull**** DR Trombone is **** cool watch Treme and learn... #secondline

I'm still a possibility for this. There's a lot of 400m races available, and if all goes to plan I'll have had 4 races in the previous 6 weeks, so a couple of weekends with none mid season, and a beer mile could nicely break up the season, before the push towards Nationals. Having said that I like the Le Cheile meet so we'll have to wait and see. Keen to retain my "top sprinter" title, though could be a tough ask if Oregano shows up.

Can I drink alcopop maybe WKD as I don't like beer.

I did this three years ago and it measured short on my Garmin!

...and it never took place 3 years ago. That was just you getting drunk and running around in circles on a Sunday afternoon.

Training commenced yesterday with a training session in the stadium (thanks to the stadium manager for the access). The one thing I forget was the small drag in the home straight. Didn't notice it last year! Maybe it's not there but it feels it.

Roll on the big day!

You did the OAP version of the race. Only 1200 metres and you had Pimm's instead of beer!

I'm pleased to confirm my planned participation at the 2015 Boards Beer Mile. The Leixlip IMC has been moved to the afternoon so it doesn't clash with this prized event (or maybe it has something to do with Ireland v Scotland). In addition they are not putting on a 400m to my disappointment. I may still run the 100 and 200 but rest assured this will not impact on my plans to try defend my "top sprinter" title.

Training to begin after the NI Champs on 6 June.

Getting in loads of LSD's for this event. I consider it my base building phase. How is everyone else's training coming along?

Do they count as PED's?

wasn't entirely sure what dropping acid tabs had to do with a beer mile but figured you may have been talking about a long slow drink instead

Don't say I don't look after you and the other track pussies. Gave the imc a bell and told them to kop on. Looking forward to staying ahead of all of you on the track last time I stepped foot on a track was for beer mile last year.

June 13th is going to be sweet. Run a 1500m PB, win the Beer Mile and then get hammered. This will be one to tell the grand kids

Sticking to sage advice of hard days hard, easy days easy, I might try my first session after the 1500 in the AAI Games tomorrow. Probably 2 X Brooklyn Lager with 30s recovery. Set a baseline to improve on over the next few weeks

Most of us will be hammered after 4 beers on the track or for those who have an extra lap and 5 beers.

I'm taking the 5 lap approach to this

The penalty is a 5th lap but there is no requirement for a 5th beer.

Oh I'm well aware of that. I've plotted out my tactics. Just need to start training

I can't give complete details but I've taken inspiration from a rocky IV training montage. I've gone all rustic and am drinking and running in the hills.

You're right to keep the training under wraps - lot of people out for a scalp this year I reckon - so basically gone back to your youth I take it :cool:

Juicing up like Ivan Drago?

Will there be random drug testing there ??

it'd be unfair as Some fecker could spike his/her competitors beer like Carl Lewis did to Ben Johnston back in 1988

to be honest, even if it wasn't very good I'd still be confident of beating most of this shower

Who are the actual favourites for this?

If you're asking TRR I suspect he may just have one favourite ............ Terrible to see someone so lacking in confidence .....

Don't have the full field yet. But last years top 3 are back. Thirstywork will be odds on favourite if he can put 4 back to back sub 3 second bottle gulps. Generally we are piss poor at necking the bottles and just about better than piss poor at the running side of things compared to the guys are really good at this!

I can tell you this though, if ecoli (RIP) turns up he won't win. He is without doubt the worst beer miler ever to grace boards. Well, actually meno had that title until he slightly redeemed himself last year.

No ladies have signed up for definite as of yet! They probably have more sense
