Project Salt Run

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. Joel drops in with on-the-road cooking realities and sleep struggles. Quick listener Q&A on shoes and team morale. Fundraising update and a fun one: Name our Van! Donate £10 or more and comment your name idea on our GiveStar page before 16 November. The Big Change team...

This is a quick and dirty one where we sit down with Hannah in front of our Support van chatting with Joel and Alex on how the beginning of the project salt run has been and where we're at now! We’re currently raising money to KEEP this expedition going! EVERY Pound raised on Crowdfunder gets us closer to being able to reach India. Hannah is runnning 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 powerfu...

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. The next time you hear from us, we’ll be on the road in India. So stay tuned to see where the adventure takes us, or even better join us! We’re currently raising mo...

Three weeks to go. The team compares kit, chases visas and insurance, and gets honest about training, living in one van, and the unknowns ahead.

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 possible. EVERY ...

This week we sit down with the incredible Dr. Erica Patel. 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 supportive for women. Th...

From doing a full marathon with a jump rope to transforming young lives around the UK, Krish Patel isn’t your average runner, or storyteller. He’s the founder of Tales to Inspire, a platform that’s helped over 1.5 million people share their powerful storyies. In this episode, Krish opens up about finding purpose after a rough start, how one simple story in a classroom led to a nationwide movement, and why we all have the power to make change, even if it starts with just listening. A War...

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 groun...
