We recently chatted with Corey to learn a little more about him, his athletic career, and his goals for the future...
INF: What is your favourite moment as an athlete?
COREY: My favourite moment as an athlete was making my first
national team in 2011 for cross country. It was an eye opening experience to
compete against international competition as a junior and motivated me to continue
progressing. Another favourite moment of mine was special in a different way;
winning a men’s national championship in 2015 and 2016 with all of my Lancer
teammates.
INF: What are your goals as an athlete? Do you see yourself
competing in the next Olympic Games?
COREY: My goals as an athlete are simple… to keep enjoying the
process, continue working hard to progress and to qualify for as many national
teams as I can. The Olympic games are definitely a major goal of mine but there
are many other goals I have leading up to that point.
INF: It must feel pretty cool holding the World Record in the
Beer Mile and shaving off 13 seconds from the original best time. What inspired
you to race the Beer Mile the first time? Did you think when running it that it
would ever evolve to what it has become? You travelling the world to compete…
COREY: Being the beer mile world record holder is definitely a cool
title to hold. I couldn’t believe how much attention it received and it was
unreal to get a free trip to England just to compete in one there. Over the
past 2 years the beer mile has gained so much media attention and I think it
will continue to grow in the coming years. The average person can relate to it
in many ways because most people have run a mile and separately, they know how
hard it is to chug a beer and hold it down.
INF: Since making the switch to Infinit, what changes have you
noticed in your racing and training?
COREY: Since making the switch to Infinit I have been feeling
amazing before, during and after workouts. Before I made the switch I wasn’t
focusing enough on the recovery process and getting the nutrients my body
needed after certain workouts. Being able to have a specific custom workout
blend enables me to drink something during workouts that will keep me feeling
ready to go. The repair and raw protein has also been a major key after
workouts or lifts to help my body feel good the next day. My mom even made some
protein energy balls with the raw protein that I can snack on whenever.
INF: What are your plans for the next few months? (Races, meets,
etc.)
COREY: This fall I will be focusing on having a good cross country
season and hopefully leading the Lancers to a top finish at nationals. We have
a few big meets in the states before our championship season begins in late
October. During the indoor season (December-March) I will be focusing on
improving upon my 1500m time and will rely upon my strength built from the fall
XC season. It is going to be a fun but busy next few months and I am more than
happy to have Infinit fuelling me in process.
