Manage episode 471124704 series 3640595
In this episode of Project Salt Run, we sit down with ultra-runner and endurance adventurer Nikki Love, whose extraordinary feats include running across Australia and tackling some of the world’s toughest multi-day endurance challenges. Nikki shares how she went from an everyday runner to pushing the limits of human endurance, the mental and physical strategies she uses to keep going, and how a chance encounter with her helped inspire Project Salt Run.
Join us as we discuss the highs and lows of long-distance running, overcoming doubt, the psychology of endurance, and what it really takes to run thousands of miles across a country. If you’ve ever wondered what goes on in the mind of an ultra-runner or dreamed of taking on an epic challenge yourself, this is the episode 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.
The Challenge
Partnering with Givestar, Hannah will run 100 marathons in 100 days, covering 4,200 km, to raise £1,000,000 for 1% for the Planet. This journey is a powerful testament to the potential within all of us to make a real difference.
