  • 26 Weeks to Go: Privilege, and the Problem With Being “First”
    May 1 2025

    This week, Hannah and Joel dive headfirst into the messy, often uncomfortable conversation about privilege, purpose, and what it really means to run across a country that’s not your own.

    They talk openly about the backlash other adventurers have faced, the complexity of Hannah’s family history in India, and how she's still figuring out where she fits in, not just in terms of identity, but in life, legacy, and big, sweaty goals.

    This episode is about owning imperfection, asking hard questions, and choosing humility in the face of complexity. Whether you’re an adventurer, or just curious about how to approach travel with more care and consciousness.

  • 27 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.

  • 28 Weeks to Go: Donuts, Despair & Doing Our Bit for the Planet
    Apr 17 2025

    In this episode, Hannah and Joel dig into the wild emotional rollercoaster of climate action, and chat about how their both just trying to figure it out as they go. Discussing doubt, donuts, sweaty run clubs, and what it means to be an eco warrior in a world that often feels like it’s working against you.

    Hannah shares how she went from the festival scene to leading a sustainability agency and teaching carbon literacy. We talk about burnout, the weight of knowing too much, and why doing something matters, even if it’s small or imperfect.

    If you’ve ever felt like climate change is overwhelming, or you’ve questioned whether your effort is even worth it, this one’s for you.

    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.
