Olympic athlete, commentator and Strictly dancer Colin Jackson is hurdling his way over to MN Towers on Wednesday (23 May) to join us for a webchat at noon.

Representing Great Britain and Wales, he won an Olympic silver medal, became world champion three times, went undefeated at the European Championships for 12 years and was a two-time Commonwealth champion. His world record of 12.91sec for the 110m hurdles stood for over a decade, and he is also the 60m hurdles world record holder.

Colin will be commentating on the Olympics for the BBC this summer.

Join him next Wednesday at midday or post a question in advance on this thread.

Colin is working with Mission Foods to highlight the range of sporting options for kids, from traditional sports to more marginalised sports, and to show that giving kids a chance to find a sport they like and enjoy is key to getting children to be more active.

V disappointed by injury question. Another 40 something runner - and everything hurts most of the time but I love it. Someone suggested better trainers could help. I change mine lots and always buy the best I can afford, but never know how much of the shop talk - videoing on treadmills and standing on special pads - is science and how much twaddle. I also have a running friend who spent a fortune at a podiatrist? What would you recommend - how should you choose your runners?

Thanks for coming in to MN towers - Wearing my running gear in your honour:)
