Epi. 144-Breaking Barriers In The Metric Mile With Corey Bellemore

The Terminal Mile

The story of Corey Bellemore is one unlike any other. First showing his hand as a runner to watch at the University level, running as a Windsor Lancer, it was his success as a beer miler that truly vaulted him to fame, essentially debuting as the world record holder. Throughout that time, Corey, with the help of a few sharp individuals, was able to turn that notoriety into a way to advance his race opportunities, sans alcohol, including spots at a Diamond League meet and the Millrose games. The last few years have shown Corey taking full advantage of those opportunities given, and they paid off in a big way this season when he finally dipped under the 3:40 1,500m barrier in Sweden. This week we chat with Corey about that race, switching coaches, and a whole lot more.
