Do you think a fast adolescent girl, who then goes through a “slump” can come back? Has it been done before? In this scenario a lot of people (me included) have assumed that it’s over - will Mary Cain prove that wrong? Once a female runner works out her new body, if she had phenomenal talent, can it return?
First two to come to my mind:
Mary Decker
Lynn Jennings
Wasn’t Decker injury related and didn’t Jennings retire and come back to the marathon in her late 30s?
I am referring to not performing because of body changes that seem to occur with adolescent girl/women.
