Amelia Boone: Learning How to Suffer with the Queen of Pain

Since the popularity of Obstacle Course Racing, or OCR, has exploded onto the scene, there has been one woman who has dominated the sport: Amelia Boone.

This interview is a little different than others you may have heard on The Knowledge Project but no less fascinating.

We cover a wide variety of topics including habits, reading, self-reliance, and training.

• Why Amelia was drawn to obstacle racing even though running was something she despised
• The complementary connection between her sport and her professional work and how racing has made her a more effective attorney
• How Amelia fights physical and mental fatigue when most people quit (she even shares a story of how she dealt with a vacant support station halfway through a 100 mile race)
• What she does to develop grit and resilience so she knows she can rely on herself when things get rough
• Amelia’s “to-do list” trick that makes sure she’s productive — you’ll want to steal this!
