Janelle Delany was a sprinter in high school and despite winning national titles in her youth Janelle got busy with life and her sprinting fell by the wayside. It wasn't until Janelle's mum showed her a story in the local paper about some lady runners did something stir in Janelle which made her realise maybe she wasn't as done with her career as a 400m runner as she thought.    So at the age of 41  Janelle decided to give running another go... and started in an "all in" kinda way taking on Sydney's Balmoral Burn, a 420 meter uphill sprint. From there it was a more measured and gradual approach as Janelle went from competing with her local club to take state and national titles before heading off to represent Australia in the World Masters in Leon, France in 2015.    Cue Masters Athletic World Champs in 2018 and as the 45-49 years defending 400m champion, Janelle struggled with a sore Achilles and had to make a tough decision about whether she should race or not - lose the title or risk an injury. Listen to the episode to find out the decision she made as well as Janelle's views on injuries and how to come back from them.   In this episode Janelle and I cover controlling what you can control, the longevity of Master's sports and how she views mental strength as a whole. We even chat aqua jogging for a bit and my favourite golden nugget - Janelle's view of being disciplined and how you can apply this view in your own life.
