The summer of 2019 has been anything but a time to relax for Mike Friedman, who will be a senior this fall at University of Wisconsin-Stout. Quite the opposite: He’s taken things up a notch or two.
On weekday afternoons, the food science and technology major has been, on average, going on an 11-mile run in and around Menomonie. A member of the Blue Devils cross country team, he’s following Coach Matt Schauf’s off-season training schedule — about 80 miles a week — to prepare for the fall season.
The long runs come after he’s risen at about 4:30 a.m., driven about 60 miles round trip to Chippewa Falls and worked a full day to prepare for something else — his career. Friedman is interning at Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing as a food scientist. He’s part of the quality assurance team overseeing the brewing of many Leinie’s brands.
