    About

    The Beer Mile Podcast is co-hosted by Chuggernauts Chris Robertson and Adam Shurson. Chris is a Beer Mile World Champion and Record Holder and Adam is the engineer behind the beermile.com website. It's like Flotrack, LetsRun, or CitiusMag but with more beer and tomfoolery. The running world could use a little more spice and flare. Exclusive, uncensored content: https://patreon.com/beermile In the vast world of extreme sports, there exists a sub-culture called "digestive athletics." The most famous, glorified, respected and celebrated of all the events of this underworld is the Beer Mile.

    Athletes Mentioned

    Clayton Murphy is the 2021 US National Champ at 800m, Bronze Medalist at the 2016 Rio Olympics, two-time Olympian, and just plain fast. He's run 1:42 for 800m and 3:51 for the mile. We chat about his performances and experience at the 2016 Rio Olympics and 2020 Tokyo Olympics, his 2021 season, how he trains, and 2022 racing plans. Of course, we also have plenty of lighthearted banter in there about beef with Centro, racing Devon Allen in 300m, being a wine connoisseur, board games, starting his YouTube channel, being married to another Olympian (Ariana Washington), college and Labadie stories, and more. Follow @ClaytonMurphy on the Insta.
