I naively believed him, for Cancer, in mid-April at Sandy Bottom Nature Park in and never drank beer the day before a race, even after Hampton.

They said it also has anti- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen, inflammatory properties as well. They claim it's the best fuel used frequently by athletes. for ultra endurance.” There are many great runners who never drink alcohol One of those runners, Andrei Nana of Florida, writes, in any form, and that’s fine. But if you do drink beer, or wine, “At some point I decided to stop drinking and noticed my consider a glass or two the night before as part of your pre- performance decreased, so I decided to restart drinking and race routine. And if you’re one of the runners who run ultra- running. Once I saw a clear difference in results, I started to marathons, consider drinking beer as one of your main or look for others/theories/scientific papers of why. I found some secondary fuels during the event. Your racing might be better minimal research, mostly general about alcohol consumption for it! and beer in marathons. It was enough for me to feel I am not totally "alone" on this subject. “Like with everything else I do in races, I drink based on how my body feels. If it is very hot I drink more beer vs. cold time or night time. Sometimes I drink very little, maybe 1-2 beers in 12 hours, sometimes I drink 10 beers in 12 hours of running. I have not been able to figure out exactly why. I never get buzzed as my body burns the alcohol fast, and I noticed that if I drink too much (two beers at once for example) my muscles relax more than needed and I start to feel "lazy," so for now I drink one beer or less at a time, and not more than one every hour. Honestly I drink a lot of beer only when running in the sun at temps over 90F. As soon as the temp cools down or I can run in the shade my body does not "crave" it anymore, so the amount I drink decreases significantly.” Although the study used non-alcoholic beer, instead of regular beer, an interesting study several years ago (by the Technical University of Munich) of 277 male runners in their early 40’s, training for the Munich Marathon, confirmed the benefits of beer. European athletes had long been using non- alcoholic beer as an optimal recovery drink, so this study gave half the runners alcohol-free beer and the other half a placebo made to taste like non-alcoholic beer, but with the same CRR President Rick Platt amount of calories and carbs. Consumption of three pints daily started three weeks before the marathon, and continued afterwards. Blood tests were taken before the race start, immediately after finishing, and periodically for two weeks afterwards. The study concluded that “researchers discovered that the runners drinking non-alcoholic beer reported far fewer [upper respiratory] illnesses [three times less likely] following the race than the runners on the placebo. The beer drinkers also showed far less evidence of inflammation in the blood and lower white blood cell counts, the sign of a healthy immune system.” The conclusion was that non-alcoholic beer is an important recovery drink. Although not confirmed, the cause was thought to be that beer is rich in polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that have a positive effect on the immune system. Regular beer has double the polyphenols than the non-alcoholic beer used in this study, so should be even more beneficial. David Nieman, an exercise physiologist at Appalachian State University was quoted as saying, “Polyphenols are an antioxidant chemical found in many plants and fruits. Polyphenols have antiviral properties, they help regulate the immune system, and they help to down-regulate genes that are related to turning on inflammation and stress. And beer has a lot of Polyphenols.” Wheat beer has a combination of many
Why is Brown Better? To say the least ultramarathoner Tommy Neeson of Virginia By Tommy Neeson Beach is outspoken. He was the featured speaker at the annual Colonial Road Runners Elections Meeting back in May, and gave one of the most entertaining talks ever at a CRR function. The oldest recipe known is for beer. It is over 4,000 Besides being a 2:35:09 marathoner (over 50 total), Tommy is years old and some believe was hand delivered by gods. As the author of the book “Four Million Steps” about his run beer enthusiasts we are alive at a great time in history. Craft from Bangor, ME to Florida, “a journey filled with reflection, beers are at an all-time high since the inception of emotion and sheer physical exhaustion.” refrigeration; and home brewers are almost as popular as PTA 5K’s. Beer is also widely debated on its use by and effects on distance runners. For me I couldn’t give a crap about all that benefit nonsense and athletic performance, I just want to point out one very important thing – the bottle. Or more specifically, the color of the bottle. Some running fools out there want a light beverage that won’t add extra pounds to the midsection, while others want a crisp taste of finely crafted hops to bite the back of their tastes buds. However, I am here to tell you that no matter the reason, be it low-calorie or big-boy taste, the only acceptable color a bottled beer should ever be put in is brown. Nothing good can possibly come from a clear or green bottle. Nothing. Clear bottles are for wine coolers, Zima and other prepubescent liquids. I suppose if you wanted to boil a brat on the grill with a Corona, I can let that slide. But if you actually expect me to put that swine near my lips I will fight you. “But what about adding lime to it, Tommy?” Limes are for tequila and gin, not beer. If you need fruit to enhance your suds, buy better beer. Not only are green-bottled beers one of the worst things to bottle liquid barley with, it’s socially one of the most telling of them all. Just think about someone you know who drinks Heineken. See my point. There is no need for an otherwise splendid giggle juice to be housed in such an appalling container. I’m truly hoping the last of these bottled villains is just a terrible fad that, as a society, we should be embarrassed about, much in the same vein as we’ve been embarrassed about the Chicago Cubs, mullets, Sheryl Crow’s remake of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and blue bottled beer. If you ever decided you’d like to try one of these dreadful creations, don’t do it. Let that moment pass you buy. I’m seriously considering filing charges against humanity toward the person at Anheuser-Busch who created that marketing fiasco. And why should you avoid beer in clear or green bottles? In simplest terms it is all about sun light, but that's not "Tommy speak." So here goes: Outside of the damning social implications of drinking from a clear or green bottled beer, there is some science behind this theory of only drinking from brown bottled beers. Hops, which is probably the greatest grain known, is rather light sensitive. Brown bottled beer blocks out much of the flavor-damaging rays of light. Clear bottles block out none, and while green bottles fare better than clear, they still suck. Tastes may differ over what style each of us likes—lagers, IPA’s or stouts, but one thing should be a staple with each and every consumer of this wonderful social lubricant—brown bottled beer, party people!

Samuel Rivera, 34 Williamsburg 50:35 that. I could hear everyone's footsteps behind me up until just before we hit the road [at 3 miles], which definitely pushed me Men 35-39 a bit! I didn't want to risk losing the lead after I made a move 1. Bryan Dollyhigh, 38 Toano 34:09 to take it. I think getting back on the road helped me find more of a rhythm. At the turnaround point on the bikepath, I had put Men 45-49 a decent distance ahead of the other men with me, but I was 1. Chris Ruffieux, 48 Yorktown 36:08 wondering if they'd catch me. I don't think I've ever won a 2. Kevin Clauberg, 45 Williamsburg 37:19 mixed race before, so this is my first! I did not think about 3. Pete Bastien, 48 Poquoson 38:42 being the overall winner before I entered the race but during 4. Tim O’Dell, 48 Toano 40:33 the middle of the race I remember thinking that would be cool if I did! I was hoping to go under 30 minutes [as she did at the Men 50-54 Run for the Dream 8K] but I didn’t feel all that great during 1. Dan O’Brien, 51 Williamsburg 35:48 the race.” 2.
