Beschreibung

Endurance, Determination and Grit: The first ever man to run the length of Africa shares his inspirational story10,000 miles. 16 countries. 352 days. Hardest Geezer, Russ Cook, is the first person to ever run the entire length of Africa. From his starting point in Cape Agulhas, South Africa, through sandstorms in the Sahara Desert, rainforests, mountain ranges and long empty roads stretched out for miles in front of him, Russ ran the equivalent of 386 marathons before finally crossing the finish line in Tunisia 50 weeks later. Through attempted kidnaps, an armed robbery where he was held at gunpoint, and the gut-wrenching moment when he was denied the right to cross Algeria and whole challenge was left hanging in the balance, Russ never once contemplated giving up. When he crossed the finish line in Ras Angela, he did so with the eyes of the world on him. Africa may have been his most physical challenge yet but it certainly wasn't his first. For years, Russ hid from the realities of life by drinking too much and losing himself in the world of online gambling, and it wasn't until he discovered running and sought out endurance challenges that life took a different turn. He soon learned that you don't get to avoid the struggle, but you do get to choose it. Hardest Geezer: Mind over Miles is an inspirational story full of sheer grit and incredible determination. 'You get one chance at life. Go and have a stab at it.'

Über den Autor

Endurance athlete Russ Cook, aka the Hardest Geezer, captured the attention of the world when he became the first person to ever run the full length of Africa in April 2024. The 27-year-old from West Sussex raised more than £1 million for charity during 352-day ultramarathon.

In the build up to the momentous Project Africa, Russ had built a following on YouTube with content that proved his grit and determination. He is the only person to have run from Istanbul to London solo and unassisted, has he been buried alive for a week and holds the world record for the fastest marathon while pulling a car. Russ is also an adventure coach for The Running Charity, a national organisation guiding and inspiring young people by boosting their mental health and resilience.
