Yeah. Not 100% sold on it all but interesting nonetheless and they have done their research it seems. Wonder who pissed them off enough for the grudge they seem to have against these large companies?!

Don't agree with half of this s**t.
If you ran 10 mile bare foot or in brogues you will have more injuries than with some asics.
Never understood sugar free drinks since released. They have a point with that.
I do sometimes buy Poweraid Zero when I'm out...If you ran 10 mile bare foot or in brogues you will have more injuries than with some asics.

... just because it tastes better than water. Never expected anything at all other than, well, a drink!
My mum bought me some zero lucozade ones, I still drank them, just like orange flavoured water.

Somebody better tell the millions of humans who have run barefoot since we started, or all those Africans, or the professor, or all the other people in the world who run barefoot (as evolution and not 30 years of cushioned trainers taught us).http://www.ted.com/talks/christopher_mcdougall_are...

The entire programme was a bit one sided.
I'm don't even use "sports nutrition" very often but even I can see the benefits of protein drinks etc (ie when you don't have the time/cant be bothered to have a balanced meal). They seemed to miss this point entirely.
The first guy they spoke to mentioned this.I'm don't even use "sports nutrition" very often but even I can see the benefits of protein drinks etc (ie when you don't have the time/cant be bothered to have a balanced meal). They seemed to miss this point entirely.
I used to sell specialist sports footwear (all be it 20 years ago) - and I still really believe in the benefits of good shoes from 'technical' manufacturers. (ie. from the likes of Asics, New Balance etc, but not the likes of Nike or Adidas / Reebok).
I have dodgy knees from playing rugby, and also through an accident with a hurdle (which detached the cartilage and dislocated the patella in one knee) - I wouldn't be able to run at all if it weren't for a good pair of trainers (currently using Asics Gel).

Thing about records is...they will only ever come down, they will always (OK not always but near infinite isn't infinite) get broken. The sports industry has been growing like a juggernaut. More opportunities for people who may be remarkable athletes to achieve a dream they might not have had in other or older times.
How many athletes overcame adversity (like that BBC drama tonight)?
Drugs are in there, as well as nutrition maybe. But also just the opportunity and the marketing and the money as well to give more people more chances.
On an episode of QI there was a question of who is/was the fastest human. It wasn't Usain Bolt. It was some fella (or lady) from 100,000s years ago most liking chasing a sabre toothed mammoth.
His footprints were in the bedrock.
