Amelia Boone ran her first obstacle race in 2011 after a co-worker’s suggestion. Despite a modest finish, she was hooked. Since then, she’s secured over 50 podiums and around 30 victories, including the Spartan Race World Championship in 2013 and the World’s Toughest Mudder title three times—in 2012, 2014, and 2015. Notably, she clinched the 2014 World’s Toughest Mudder just eight weeks after major knee surgery.
In this episode of The Knowledge Project, we explore Amelia’s journey, touching on topics like habits, reading, self-reliance, and training. It’s a departure from our usual conversations but offers equally compelling insights.
Listen and learn.
