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.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.(You may notice a change in the episode countdown.
