Allyson Felix Shares Insights on Coping with Pressure and Preparation in Interview with Michael Johnson

In an exclusive interview with sprinting legend Michael Johnson, Allyson Felix revealed some of her secrets to success. Michael Johnson, a four-time Olympic gold medalist and eight-time World Championship gold medalist, engaged in a conversation with Felix about their careers, inspirations, and advice for young athletes.

In February 2023, World Athletics was hosting a live event that included the interview.

Allyson Felix shared a video of the interview on her Instagram account with the caption:

"Earlier this year on stage with the goat @mjgold4 who knows when you only have one shot, you give it all you got."

During the interview, Johnson asked Felix how she managed to cope with the immense pressure of proving herself every four years to be the best. Felix responded with honesty and humility, saying:

"Yes, it is true. Very challenging. Having to prove myself every 21 seconds—49 seconds—to show the world what you have been doing When you mess up, you have to wait those four years, and I have messed up. It is really, really difficult, and I think the thing is learning what works for you."

"It took me some time to figure that out, and understanding for me, just some tools: I logged all my workouts. I love to write out every single thing that I did down, and then before the big races, I would go back through those training logs and look at everything I did. For me, I found confidence in that preparation. It is like, I'm a beast. I did all this stuff, and I'm ready to go. All I have to do now is put the race together. That really helped me."
