I’m really, really fast. But there’s no such thing as “fast” inside a delivery room.
Allyson Felix, one of the fastest women in the world, meticulously planned out her life according to the rigid training and competition schedule expected of all top female runners. From a young age she witnessed older teammates wrestle with the decision to have a child. Motherhood, Allyson learned, was a high-stakes game that for too many women meant the end of everything they worked so hard for.
But at thirty-three, the sports icon knew she was ready to become a mother herself. She gave birth to a baby girl, Camryn, delivered prematurely after Allyson was diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia, a condition that, she learned, disproportionately impacts Black mothers like her. The experience left both mother and daughter fighting for their lives, and Allyson emerged from the traumatic ordeal forever changed. In the months after her daughter’s birth, Allyson’s contract negotiations with Nike, her long-time endorsement sponsor, stalled when they refused to put language in her agreement that allowed sufficient recovery time without financial penalty. This, after they had also reduced her pay by 60%. Emboldened by her own harrowing motherhood journey, Allyson resolved to fight back. Her brave campaign to create change within Nike reverberated throughout the world of sports and the country at-large, paving the way for the real transformation for female athletes that she still fights for today. Yet, until now, she has never shared her full truth.
In Fast and Slow Allyson Felix chronicles with raw honesty the key milestones that shaped her as a person, mother, businesswoman, groundbreaking change-agent, and the most decorated track and field athlete of all time. In the process she shows readers what it looks like to boldly step into your power—one decision, one act, one bold commitment to yourself at a time.

批評家のレビュー
“A remarkable chronicle of grit, resilience, and courage. In this moving memoir, Allyson Felix reveals how she blazed a trail on and beyond the track. Her story of challenging injustice and transforming career opportunities for mothers is enlightening and empowering.”—Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Vibe and Think Again
“Powerful, honest, and deeply inspiring, Fast and Slow is a testament to perseverance and the courage to demand more from the world around us. Through her remarkable story and her advocacy for the rights of female athletes, she shows us the strength it takes to overcome adversity and challenge the systems that hold us back. An extraordinary book from an extraordinary woman.”—Lindsey Vonn, New York Times bestselling author of Rise
“I’ve spent my life trying to convince girls and women that their power isn’t conditional. Allyson Felix has proved it, in the most public way imaginable. Fast and Slow is a mother's reckoning, a champion’s reinvention, and a blueprint for anyone who has ever had to choose between what’s expected of them and what's true. Every girl who’s ever been handed a stopwatch and told to hurry up should read this book, and so should the rest of us.”—Reshma Saujani, New York Times bestselling author of Brave, Not Perfect
“We celebrate champions for how fast they run. We remember leaders for what they change. In Fast and Slow, Allyson Felix proves she is both. This is an extraordinary story about motherhood, ambition, and the courage to challenge a system that too often asks Black women to pay the highest price for success. Instead of accepting it, Allyson changed it. Her story is deeply personal, but its impact reaches far beyond sports. It’s a reminder that the greatest victories aren’t always won on the track—they’re won when someone decides the next generation deserves better.”—Bozoma Saint John, author of The Urgent Life
