Send us a text Halfway through Project Salt Run, this episode is a pause and a goodbye. Joel sits down for an honest exit interview with Hannah and Alex as he leaves the road, reflecting on what it’s really been like living in a van, filming marathons day after day and witnessing the highs, lows and quiet moments that don’t always make it online. We talk about friendship, exhaustion, purpose and what it means to commit to something bigger than yourself. If you’re in the market for new running...

Send us a text We’re running through dusk, parrots overhead, fort walls all around us, talking about the point in the journey where repetition starts to bite. The food we miss, the routines we never expected to rely on, the long quiet miles, and the way day 40 has been quietly looming for all of us. It’s the first time the grind has really shown itself, and somehow that makes everything feel even more important. If you’re in the market for new running shoes and want to support Project Salt Ru...

Send us a text We’re one third of the way across India, and this week we finally did it – we found a pice of The Great Hedge itself. In this field journal we talk about the day we found the hedge, following in Roy Moxham foots steps, the wild coincidence of meeting the nephew of the man who showed it to him, and how we somehow ended up at the Taj Mahal talking Project Salt Run with Richard Branson while Hannah was running on empty. If you’re in the market for new running shoes and want to sup...

Send us a text In today’s Runcast, Hannah is joined by an incredible crew from the Strive team, who are out here in India supporting our charity partner Big Change. These legends took time out of their own adventure biking the Golden Triangle to swing by, lace up, and run a full marathon with Hannah… after deciding that morning to do it. I (Joel) chat with them about why they’re raising money for Big Change, what brought them out here, what running means to them, and what it takes to say “yea...

Send us a text A check-in from the van between Delhi and Agra. Hannah shares the kit that’s actually working in India, how she avoids blisters and chafe, why a belt beats a vest in the heat, and the simple food plan that keeps her moving.

Donate £10 or more and comment your name idea on our GiveStar page before 16 November. The ...

Send us a text At the start of any big project, you kind of need the whole team together, but thanks to some classic Indian visa chaos, our plans went sideways fast. In this episode, we sit down with Alex to hear how he managed to lose his passport, miss two flights, and almost blag his way into India anyway. Hi, I’m Hannah, accidental runner, sustainability advocate and founder of the Better Business Network. Project Salt Run is a world-first endurance expedition. I'm running 4,200 km acros...

Send us a text This is it the final update before we head to India. In this episode, Joel opens with a few words before handing over to Hannah, who shares where things are really at: the visa chaos, the reroute from Pakistan, last-minute packing, heat training, and what it feels like to finally reach this moment after 40 weeks of planning.

Send us a text Hannah’s stepping back from day-to-day at the Better Business Network as we gear up for 100 marathons across India, so we grabbed her colleague and “Nature on the Board” director Graham Hansen to explain how BBN gives nature a real seat at the table. We talk through where the idea came from, how it works legally and culturally, balancing people profit and planet, and why “progress not perfect” beats greenwashing or green-hushing every time. We also hit what this means for Proje...

Send us a text We’re four weeks out from Project Salt Run, and in this episode Joel sit down with Hannah’s coach, Nina, to talk about the journey so far. From taking Hannah from non-runner to ultrarunner in a year, to the Coast-to-Coast test, the bumps and breakthroughs along the way. Nina shares how the training has been built, what’s gone right, what’s gone wrong, and why mindset is now just as important as miles. We dig into the biggest hurdles Hannah’s faced, the role of the support team,...

Send us a text We sit down with mountaineer and guide Kenton Cool, a man with 19 Everest summits and a lifetime of stories. From a dirt-bag first trip to Pakistan for £500 to shattering both heels and rebuilding purpose, Kenton talks community, identity, and the head game that gets you through the hard bits. We get into the Everest “Triple Crown,” the 40 percent rule, perfection vs progress, and a clear-eyed look at climate and glaciers. We’re currently raising money to make this expedition p...

Send us a text This week we dive headfirst into the toughest part of the Project Salt Run journey so far... finances. With less than 60 days to go, Hannah and Joel pull back the curtain on what it really takes to fund an expedition like this. From dirtbag backup plans of buying a van in India, to the reality of paying for flights, permits, wages, and gear, it’s all on the table. It’s messy, it’s honest, and it’s exactly why we started this podcast, to share the journey, warts and all! We’re c...

A gynecologist, mother, and record-breaking ultra runner who somehow balances medicine at the top level with running marathons across India (and even the legendary Comrades in South Africa... Twice). We talk about what it’s really like to run in India, the growth of women’s running communities, continuing to run through pregnancy, and her work with She Races and Chennai Runners to make races more inclusive and supportiv...

Send us a text The 20/20/20 Challenge. That’s 20 days, 20K runs on weekdays, and 20 minutes of strength work on weekends… all while working 60–70 hour weeks. In this episode we talk through how it went, what nearly broke her (spoiler: hospital visits were involved), and what she learned from taking on a challenge that turned out to be tougher than her coast-to-coast run. We also check in on fundraising, the charities joining Project Salt Run, and Hannah’s brand-new TikTok adventures. We’re cu...
