One of our coaches, MJ, did something amazing 24 years ago yesterday... completing the 200m/400m Olympic gold double. We can only dream of such things... but the fact he still looks that good in the uniform nearly a quarter of a century on just shows what running can do for all of us.

Wow! I love it...Mr Smooth rules! What a fella! 😲

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

Fortunately I don’t still have my old running gear so I can’t show how mine doesn’t still fit 🤣

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Don’t believe you...I bet your before and after would be just as good 😉

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

In my wildest dreams, maybe!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Definitely in my “top bloke” category! Don’t worry about that age thing... he’s older than me and looks like that! Thank goodness my gym is now open again!

Congratulations on the jeans... this could get expensive of course!

[nowster Graduate]

And a year older than me! And two years ago he had a stroke. bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/4...

[Birdlady64 Graduate]

Totally awesome!

He got me through the plan that's for sure

But where are the gold shoes?

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Maybe he figured they were no longer bright enough to be relevant today?

[Birdlady64 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Yeah a bit common these days....

I'll even admit to owning a pair of gold Crocs 🐊 (can't believe I just said that 🤭)

Seriously though the man is a legend - and a genuinely lovely person

[Slothgoesrunning Graduate]

Ah MJ 😍 - truly inspirational

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Slothgoesrunning]

A great supporter of British athletics too... hope he’s right about Dina Asher-Smith

[Tendance]

Was that really 24 years ago, doesn’t feel that long. Total legend and I love the way he says ‘running route’ on the app 😍

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Tendance]

Seems like yesterday... I was surprised, and checked the year on his number 🤣

[Fabulous450 Graduate]

Weeellll.....I’m off out now!! 😂😂

No...not really 🤥, but he really is inspiration to keep on running! I think I heard that he suffered a stroke, not too long ago, but he’s more or less back to normal.

I’m sure his level of fitness helped a lot.

Happy running everyone! 🤩❤️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

He did, in September... announced he was back to normal a couple of months later... I’m sure his condition helped a lot.

I am off out now 😎

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I’m sure you enjoyed that!! 🤩❤️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

Hmm... hill repeats in the sun... was OK I guess... until I decided to cover some ground and do fast and walk/jog uphill for a bit, that hurt 🤣

[roseabi]

This is fabulous!!!!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to roseabi]

Isn’t it just... I can fit in everything from 15years ago... room for a friend in there too 🤣 but nothing from my youth.

[Irish-John Graduate]

Top Gentlemen and Sportsman

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

Sure is... unusual for that time, didn’t seem to get into any rivalries (I guess nobody was fast enough) or steroids 🤣

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

An authentic kind of guy

[Maddee_6333 Graduate]

Wow!

[SuperKat1974 Graduate]

The man is a legend - and he definitely helped get me through the plan! 🎖🎖

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to SuperKat1974]

Daughter loves him... when she saw the pic she said “it’s mr smooth voice”

[Sandraj39 Graduate]

I rember...💕...the man is a hero!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Sandraj39]

Sure is... nobody matched his achievements yet.

[Smile23 Graduate]

Whats not to love about Michael?

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Smile23]

I don’t think there can be anything or they have found it by now no doubt.

[John_W Graduate]

Just a shame I called him 'Mr Jackson' as I was about to ask for a very rare selfie at the London 2017 IAAF World Athletics Championships ....

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to John_W]

Whenever I’m called Mr I look over my shoulder expecting to see my dad 🤣
