  • 17 Weeks to Go: The Finish line of the Coast 2 Coast

    In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of our final days on the Coast to Coast trail 7 marathons, 7 days, and one last big push to the finish line. You’ll hear from the team out in the field, sleep-deprived, sunburnt, slightly broken, and doing whatever it takes to get Hannah across the country.

    It’s hot, the water’s low, the toes are hanging on for dear life but the team’s pulling together and making it happen. From awoken in the middle of the night to llama-filled campsites, it’s been a wild few days. This is what the final stretch really sounds like.

    We’re currently raising money to make this expedition possible. EVERY Pound raised on Crowdfunder gets us closer to being able to reach India. 

    Hannah will run 100 marathons in 100 days, covering 4,200 km, to raise £1,000,000 for 1% for the Planet on Givestar.  This journey is a powerful testament to the potential within all of us to make a real difference.

    In the face of unprecedented environmental challenges, Project Salt Run aims to inspire action through an extraordinary journey of transformation. Hannah Cox, a sustainability advocate with Indian heritage and a first-time runner, will undertake a life-changing challenge across India, following the historic Inland Customs Line. 

    This colonial-era boundary enforced a devastating salt tax, causing immense suffering and millions of deaths, but has been largely forgotten from history.
    By retracing this route, Hannah seeks to honour its legacy and transform its meaning, inviting others to discover their own version of extraordinary. This journey is not about guarantees of success—Hannah faces the real possibility of failure—but it’s a powerful reminder that taking bold steps, even in uncertainty, can inspire meaningful change.

  • 18 Weeks to Go: On the Trail, Teamwork, Ticks and Tough Miles on the C2C

    This one’s straight from the field. We’re on location in the UK, following Hannah as she takes on the Coast to Coast trail, a brutal seven day back-to-back run with one rest day in the middle. This is more than just a test of endurance. It’s a full-team trial run ahead of her 100-marathon mission across India and Pakistan.

    In this episode, we flip the mic and check in with the support crew, Coach Nina, Natalie, Becca and filmmaker Mike Shaw, to find out what it really takes to keep a runner (and each other) going. From wild camping and tick extractions to the art of pacing through pain, we explore the mental and logistical challenge of working as one unit under pressure.

    Expect some wind noise, road rumblings and kettle chip crunching. It’s raw, real, and recorded on the move!

  • 19 Weeks to Go: Blisters, Bandages & Barefoot Truths with Alex Fowler

    Feet take a beating, especially when you're running 100 marathons in 100 days. In this episode, Hannah and Joel chat with podiatrist and endurance-running ally Alex Fowler, who’s on a mission to keep Hannah moving safely and comfortably throughout Project Salt Run. From injury prevention to smart sock swaps, Alex shares how he’s preparing for months on the road (and why it’s more than just taping toes and trimming nails). They dive into his journey into podiatry, how the team came together, and what it means to support an adventure that pushes the limits of body and mind!

    We’re currently raising money to make this expedition possible. EVERY Pound raised on Crowdfunder gets us closer to being able to reach India.

  • 20 Weeks to Go: 1% That Changes Everything with Kate Williams

    In this episode, we sit down with Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet, a global movement helping businesses and individuals give back to the Earth. She’s smart, steady, and has found a way to turn ambition into action — leading a network that’s reimagining what giving back really looks like.

  • 23 Weeks to Go: Coast to Coast: Seven Marathons, One Team, and the Ultimate UK Test

    What happens when you take on 7 marathons in 7 days with barely one under your belt? Join Hannah Cox and Joel as they run, stumble, and laugh their way across 300km of wild British terrain on the iconic Coast to Coast route.

  • 25 Weeks to Go: Privilege, and the Problem With Being “First”

    This week, Hannah and Joel dive headfirst into the messy, often uncomfortable conversation about privilege, purpose, and what it really means to run across a country that’s not your own.

    They talk openly about the backlash other adventurers have faced, the complexity of Hannah’s family history in India, and how she's still figuring out where she fits in, not just in terms of identity, but in life, legacy, and big, sweaty goals.

    This episode is about owning imperfection, asking hard questions, and choosing humility in the face of complexity. Whether you’re an adventurer, or just curious about how to approach travel with more care and consciousness.

  • 26 Weeks to Go: Running, Recovery, & the Reality Check

    In this episode of Project Salt Run, Joel and Hannah sit down with running coach Nina Davis to take a no-holds-barred look at what training for a 100-day ultra marathon really looks like.

    Together, they unpack how far Hannah’s come — from a self-described non-runner to someone clocking 30+ kilometer weekends — and what’s made that possible: consistency, patience, and a healthy dose of humor. From run-commuting to poké bowls, navigating toenail trauma to dialing in sustainable nutrition, the trio discuss the highs, the lows, and the very real mental and physical shifts Hannah’s experiencing along the way.

    It’s not just about logging miles. It’s about building a body and a mindset that can go the distance.
