VIDEO: Random man records himself pulling off what is a crazy world record beer mile

Wow

Conan Doherty

What have you done with your day?

Because John Harris drank four beers and ran a mile.

A sub five-minute mile.

The Australian recorded himself setting what looks to be an unofficial world record for the Beer Mile but we see no reason why he shouldn’t be officially recognised as the champ.

Fellow countryman, James Nielsen, holds the official clocked record at 4:57 but Harris beat it by just under a second, coming in at 4:56.2.

The Beer Mile requires you to drink up before every quarter of a mile and then jog back off in the pace of a champion marathon runner.

Whatever happened to a nice pub?

Hey, it beats Lance Armstrong’s grim attempt anyway.
