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!

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.
