A post celebratory beer or two has become an integral part of the running culture here in Philadelphia. Just ask Philadelphia Runner, or Fishtown Beer Runners. As Ross Martinson, co-owner of Philadelphia Runner explained to philly.com in a recent article, "Running in a group has a great social aspect and you get to make good friends to celebrate and have fun with." Beer in moderation has also been shown in studies to help with post-race rehydration and recovery. Many running clubs top off their weekly runs with a pint and post-race parties are always popular, too. So why not plan on treating yourself after the Philadelphia Marathon on Sunday, November 23rd?
