Endurance, Determination and Grit: The first ever man to run the length of Africa shares his inspirational story

10,000 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.'
