Andy and Rick are joined by Hannah Cox, who completed an extraordinary challenge: running 100 marathons in 100 days across India, despite only starting running five months earlier.
In this episode, Hannah shares how she pushed through intense pain, the moment her crew forced her into a clinic mid challenge and the unforgettable landscapes she experienced along the way. She also explains how strength and conditioning helped prepare her body and how she recovered day after day to keep going.
Inspired by her late father, Deric Cox - born in Kolkata before moving to the UK in 1953, Hannah’s journey also became a powerful exploration of her Anglo-Indian heritage.

As runners, chasing a PB can be exhilarating and motivating for us and act as a powerful way to stay focused by pushing your limits. But what happens when that drive starts to take a toll? Can it lead to inevitable burnout and anxiety?
