Jakob Ingebrigtsen can look back on his strongest season throughout his career. In recent months there have been world records for two English miles and 2,000 meters, European records for 1,500 meters, English miles and 3,000 meters, and in addition WC gold and silver in Budapest. To mention something. When the 23-year-old tested out the “beer mile” in his own bachelor team on Tuesday, it was also a success. Brothers Henrik, Filip and Kristoffer all had to see themselves beaten, the same with Magnus Tuv Myhre. It shows a post on Kristoffer Ingebrigtsen’s Strava profile, where he has posted a picture from the bachelor party. Jakob’s final time was 5.22.42, but right here Ingebrigtsen is not at the top of the world. – It’s not bad. Quite alright for being his first time running. It shows potential, says Corey Bellemore (28). RECORD HOLDER: Corey Bellemore is the fastest ever in the “beer mile”. Photo: PRIVATE Being challenged to a beer duel He is the world record holder in the “beer mile” with a time of 4.28.1 minutes. And to get it straight, this is the “beer mile”: During four laps around the athletics track, which corresponds to one English mile, the participants must also control four beers. The beer must contain a minimum of 355 milliliters. – Jakob lacks nothing in the sprint in any case. The big thing is how you can run fast with a stomach full of beer and carbonation, to down the beer quickly and learn to burp while running, says Bellemore. – It was surprisingly tough. The jumping isn’t that difficult, but you swallow up so much foam, says Kristoffer Ingebrigtsen to VG. IN EXPRESSION TEAM: Brothers Jakob, Filip and Henrik. Photo: NTB Bellemore says that he is genetically well-suited to swallow liquid quickly and that this is the main reason why he asserts himself so well in the “beer mile”. Now he wants to challenge the Norwegian to a beer mile duel. – People would love to see it. I could have made him suffer at that distance, says the reigning world champion. Bellemore suggests that he can teach Jakob all about the “beer mile” in exchange for the soon-to-be married super runner teaching him some running tricks. – I could teach him everything I know about the beer mile and still beat him. This is my territory. I know I can hang with anyone there. Impressed Ramm news profile Nicolay Ramm made a program about the “beer mile” in 2020, and has been able to test himself at the unusual distance. Ramm allowed himself to be impressed by Ingebrigtsen. – With that time, Jakob would have come in 4th – 5th place in the Beer Mile WC, so that says something about the level of the best beer milers! I spent around 8:30 when I participated, so I have probably never been closer to Jakob in a running sport. EXPERIENCE: Nicolay Ramm has run the beer mile before. Photo: NTB – He is obviously quite good at “chugging” too, you don’t run in 5:22 without mastering beer drinking, he believes. Former beer mile world record holder Chris Robertson currently runs the Beer Mile Podcast. In the latest episode, he said that friends of Ingebrigtsen contacted him ahead of the bachelor party to make sure that the race was carried out correctly with a view to getting a possible world record approved. Nicolay Ramm and Markus Neby travel to Berlin to compete against the world’s elite in the Beer Mile sport. Hyller Ingebrigtsen Bellemore is a competent runner without beer in his belly either. His personal record for an English mile is 3.57.32. At the weekend, Ingebrigtsen set a European record for the distance with 3.43.73 – the second fastest race in history. – He is a phenomenal athlete, and far ahead of me in a normal race, says Bellemore. He trains 365 days a year and is completely professional apart from the one day a year he participated in the beer mile. He was inspired by the Ingebrigtsen family and pays tribute to them for the way they have changed the sport. – What they have done for athletics, especially in the middle distance, is incredible. They have changed the way everyone trains. There are young people who train properly outside for the first time. It is because of them and the way they train, the methodology and the fact that they are so open about how they do it, believes Bellemore. Ingebrigtsen will marry Elisabeth Asserson in Drammen next Saturday.
