    Aug 14 2025

    Send us a text

    David Bone has run some of the toughest races in the world, including Badwater 135, a 135-mile ultramarathon across Death Valley in 47°C heat. In this episode, we chat about how he got into running, what it takes to train for a race like Badwater, and how crew, mindset, and even a sense of humor can make or break you. He also shares the mission behind Camino Ultra, thoughts on gear sustainability, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is just tickle the leaves and keep moving forward. An episode full of wild stories, useful lessons, and a cautionary warning about the use of Vaseline.

    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.

  • 11 Weeks to Go: Hope, Hustle, and Holding It Together: A Mid-Journey PSR Check-In
    Aug 7 2025

    Send us a text

    We’re back with a raw and honest update from the PSR team. No guests, just Joel and Hannah catching up on everything that’s been happening behind the scenes and let’s just say, it’s a lot.

    From Hannah’s wild 2020 Challenge (that’s 20k a day for 20 days!) to losing key team members, this episode dives deep into the physical, emotional, and logistical rollercoaster of prepping for 100 marathons across India.

    We talk burnout, trust, fundraising hurdles, shifting priorities, and how to stay grounded when everything feels like it’s moving 100 miles an hour. There’s even a peek into Hannah’s mindset shift from fiery activism to hopeful action and a few chaotic bits of good news too (hello, leaving party planning!).

    This is the messy middle. And we’re bringing you along for every step of it.

    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.

  • 12 Weeks to Go: Running, Raving & Real Talk: Our Love Trails Festival Recap
    Jul 31 2025

    Send us a text

    This week, we're diving into Hannah’s first-ever trip to Love Trails a trail running and music festival that turned out to be more powerful than expected. From dancing in the woods to running through heatwaves, from emotional on-stage moments to reconnecting with the wider running community, it was all kinds of wild and wonderful.

    We talk about how this festival blends movement, mindfulness, music and why it might be the most PSR-aligned event we’ve ever experienced. Plus, Hannah shares a powerful personal story about grief, music, and vulnerability before stepping on stage to speak about Project Salt Run in front of hundreds of runners.

    We also touch on how these kinds of events help build community, shift your mindset, and make the impossible feel a bit more possible.

    Tickets are not sponsored, we just genuinely think this event rocks. And yes, Croatia in September is looking tempting...

  • 13 Weeks to Go: Why Esther Newman Loves Treadmills (And Other Running Confessions)
    Jul 24 2025

    Send us a text

    This week on the Project Salt Run podcast, we’re joined by the brilliant Esther Newman, editor-in-chief of Women’s Running, co-host of their hit podcast, and all-around running legend (even if she says otherwise).

    We talk about everything from imposter syndrome in sport to the joys of Marmite sandwiches mid-run, plus how Esther’s journey into running (and podcasting) has helped shift the narrative around who gets to be a runner. There’s honesty, there’s treadmill debates, and yes there’s poo chat. Obviously.

    This one's a first for us, a live recording from the Blue Earth Summit in London! Hannah and Joel take the stage with Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet, to talk about purpose, endurance, and why storytelling matters now more than ever.

    We get into how the idea of running across India was sparked by a colonial hedge, and how Kate found her fire for the climate fight waist-deep in snow!

    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.
