Beer Mile World Classic who’s who: Jeff Mountjoy

My favourite beer is: Muskoka Mad Tom IPA

My favourite workout is: About three years ago, I did a track workout during a thunderstorm. It was extremely heavy rain but it was warm, I was in great shape, and the intervals were fast pace. I always love speed intervals and the danger/excitement of the thunder added to the fun.

My running hero is: Billy Mills. I get goosebumps every time I watch him win the 10,000m gold in the 1964 Olympics. He overcame a lot of adversity to surprise a lot of people.

If I could only run one route for the rest of my life it would be: Loops of Lemoine Point Conservation Area in the West end of Kingston. I love running through those sorts of trails, and there plenty of variety with the terrain and loops to choose from. I never get tired running there and I always feel fast.

Finish this sentence “When I run I _____”: “When I run I… like to imagine myself running elite-caliber races and being able to control the pace.”

What’s harder than a beer mile: The Highway 2 McDonald’s Challenge!
