14 Weeks to Go: Natalie Smith, Training, Challenges, and the Road to India

In this episode, we finally sit down with Natalie, a core team member of Project Salt Run who's been with us since the early days. We dive deep into her role as a pacer and logistics mastermind for Hannah's epic 100 marathons across India. We dive into everything from ultra running, including an unforgettable race in Morocco, to the challenges she'll face with pacing in the heat and wildlife of India. Natalie shares her personal journey with trail running, the highs and lows of her race experiences, and what she's most excited about as we get closer to the big event.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.Like the Podcast?

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.Want More? Want to get involved in Project Salt Run?
