Allyson Felix's career was nothing short of legendary. The retired athlete is a multiple Olympic and World Championships medalist.
Felix's preferred event wassprinting, including the 200m. She bagged three Olympic medals in the event. However, Felix also represented the United States in 400m and 4x400m relays commendably.
She recently shared a video of a 400m race in the Diamond League and stated that even though running 400m was not in her comfort zone, she had always confronted the difficulties. Felix secured two individual Olympic medals in 400m and four team medals in the 4x400m race.
"Don't be afraid to get outside of your comfort zone. That's how I felt every single time I ran the 400m," she wrote. "It didn't come naturally, it wasn't easy, and it definitely scared me…but it was all about facing that challenge. I’m applying this same concept to life now."
