  • 161: "I Was Never Going To Quit" | 100 Marathons in 100 Days Across India
    Mar 14 2026

    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.

  • 160: The Psychological Cost of Chasing PBs
    Mar 7 2026

    We’re LIVE from ASICS in London, where Andy, Rick and Sarah explore the psychological toll of constantly chasing a personal best. Together, they discuss how social media and constant comparison are increasing the pressure on runners to always run faster and hit new time goals.

    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?
