Tired of jogging junkies pushing their habit on you? Fear no longer. Stop running because now you have science to back up why beer is better than running.

Stop Running. It is Bad

Dr. James O'Keefe Jr. did a TEDtalk on the dangers of running long distances. At the time of his talk he was the director of Preventative Cardiology Fellowship Program and the Director of Preventative Cardiology at Cardiovascular Consultants. One might call him an expert.

" In his research he suggest running no more than an hour a day. This assumes the runner does his or her vice in a safe space. Those located in metropolitan and areas with high populations breath in pollution and smog. Breathing in dirty air reverses the minimal health benefits of marathon running.

Most races supply drink tickets in the compensation package. They need to help the runner justify spending money to do what would otherwise always be free. At the end of a long race runners need the restorative powers of beer to bounce back. In the immortal words of Ellie Golding: "what are you waiting for?" Slow down and grab a pint.
