I guess one leads to the other, but put em together and that burst after a beer stop can be otherwordly… perhaps a combo of endorphin-induced runner's high (for those that can still get their heart rate beyond 80% of max through non-sexual means) and dopamine-release from the effects of external stimuli, ie beer.<br /><br />I can certainly attest to this post-beer stop on HeadEgg's mammoth goat f***ing run, AND through Singha, no less! The lack of amber nectar choice owing, in large part, to rampant beer swillers, Itchy taters, Monkey Poo and Insectoid Vermin, et al. The alternative, ‘last resort' of lagers (for me) didn't go down too well and that lager-belch was a long time coming. But following a 10-minute lull was an almighty boost, the likes of which I have never seen before through a Leo-induced one... we're talking 100% thrust restored for a good 10mins to carry one to the runsite at full tilt. Amazing!<br /><br />The moral?: more puke-worthy Sing on beer stops, please, and that at least one beer stop be mandatory on any normal run. Birthday runs are not normal… hint hint, 1844 hares. ;)The Screwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070847238531833052noreply@blogger.com
