Welcome to AMR Trains, a podcast about training and racing and endurance sports.

I'm Dimitie McDowell, co-founder of another MotherRunner.

And today my friends, we are talking about an event you likely have never trained for.

The Beer Mile. The race involves four beers and four laps around a track or a quarter mile.

You tug of beer, you run a lap, repeat three more times, and you're finished likely in more ways than one.

To guide us through the ins and outs of this race, we've got two-time World Champion Beer Mileer, Ali Morgan,

who holds the Women's World Record time of six minutes and 16 seconds and a half a second, so 616.5.

Ali is the mom of nine-year-old twins and an assistant high school cross-country coach in Bend, Oregon.

So welcome, Ali, nice to have you.

Thank you. Thank you for having me.

I can't wait to talk about this with you.

But before we dive into the hops and the suds and that kind of fun stuff, tell us about yourself.

I mean, you are a very accomplished runner. How old were you when you started running?

I was probably eight or nine years old. I'm from Columbus, Ohio, and my parents did a lot of the local road races.

So I just jumped in to a 5K, and I loved it.

And I had success early on, and I wanted to just keep trying to see how far I could go.

Yeah, yeah. Well, and so, and you went quite far. So in high school, were you like a state champion or something?

Like, what did you run? What events did you run in high school?

I ran the 1500 or the mile in the 3200, and I won the 3200 in high school.

Okay. And then you competed in like feeding your resume here.
