It's just turned into one of those infomercial things.

Johnson polishing his ego, should have had the drug piece at the beginning and worked back from that - sack the producer.

Totally agree and would love to see more about it, just it seems wrong for Michael Johnson to be telling us about his sports science business in the middle of a program he's supposed to be presenting about Usain Bolt.

I disagree on a few counts.
1) Michael Johnson is a goddamn legend....:)
2) The "infomercial" quickly turned into a fascinating section on biomechanics in sprinting. I found it very interesting that Boohoo Radcliffe trains with him to develop speed.
3) It gave a useful insight into how people train for speed.
4) Michael Johnson probably doesn't need to advertise that badly if he has such clients.

Frankly, if the programme had been an hour of Usain lovin' it would have been boring as hell.

I didn't think I'd said enough that it was possible to disagree with as much as that.

I agree with everything you've said about MJ. All I had done was an breif comment about how the program suddenly turned into him talking about and showing us around his business. All very interesting stuff and I'd love to see more about it, just when that part of the program sarted it struck me as if it was going against the style of programs you'd usually expect to see on the BBC.

That was all, don't read more into it.
