74: Amelia Boone on Eating Disorder Recovery and Racing

We had the great privilege of interviewing Amelia Boone! Amelia Boone is a full time attorney, obstacle race, and ultra runner. She’s a 4x world champion and one of the most decorated obstacle racers in history. She has been on the podium over 50 times and won over 30 times in obstacle racing, including the Spartan world champion in 2013, 3x winner of the world’s toughest mudder, and 3x death race finisher.  Not only that, but Amelia has been very open about her eating disorder and how her recovery has been for most of her adult life.

In this episode, we discussed:

• Eating disorder recovery and how that looks today versus 20 years ago
• Why incorporating movement into recovery is so crucial
• How she trains now and how her philosophy for training has changed
• How she deals with pressure on race day
• Race day fueling and what she always eats before a race
• Dealing with injuries 
• Her fertility journey 
• And more!
