Amelia Boone | Embracing Uncertainty & Athletic Career Transition

Amelia Boone is a longtime pro athlete living in Colorado. Amelia is one of the most decorated OCR athletes ever, winning four World Championships across Spartan and Tough Mudder. She has also had a decorated trail running career over many years. A few weeks ago, Amelia published a newsletter titled "Past My Prime," which explores aging as a pro athlete, yet finding joy as a lifelong practitioner of sport. That newsletter inspired this episode and occupies the bulk of the conversation.

Topics Discussed:

Amelia's relationship with writing
Her motto for 2024, "maybe"
Becoming an unsponsored athlete
Her inability to enjoy her prime athletic years
The balance between happiness and performance
Keeping a career outside of pro sport, even as a World Champion
Finding joy in her career transition
Turning 40
The idea of retirement
Pursuing purpose in life
Her current relationship with running
Goals for the future
A lot more!
