I do seem to remember (amazing after all these years/pints) that someone did research years ago that showed a correlation between distance running (on the roads, I assume...) and heavier-than-good-for-you drinking...

(me and Mr Google are going to try and find evidence right now......)

Last year went for a pub lunch, had steak and kidney pie, chips and three pints of landlord. It sat really heavy in my stomach, then went to Trunce in the evening and smashed my 4 year PB

There is hope for us mere snecklifting mortals...thank the lord!

"We used chi-square analysis, paired t-test, and ANOVA."

Why do all that work when they could just have asked us? Pretty silly hypothesis in the first place.
