For sprinter Allyson Felix and NFL player Drew Dalman, two equally courageous decisions

Allyson Felix’s knees will soon remember what suffering feels like. Her hammys are about to hate her. Her feet will protest against the threat of plantar fasciitis. She’ll experience shin splits like it’s nobody’s business.As she subjects herself again to the rigors of Olympic training in an attempt to make a comeback at 40 years old, her body might gently, or loudly, suggest to her that she’s indeed a middle-aged mother of two. But she’ll get into those starting blocks anyway. Her choice is a brave one.Advertisement
