Extreme endurance athlete Russ Cook takes us deep into the mental and physical grind of running the entire length of Africa, a feat few could imagine, let alone attempt. He opens up about battling injury, doubt, and the harsh realities on the road, revealing what it truly takes to keep going when everything around you says stop.

Did he ever want to quit? Russ shares the moments he nearly broke, the clarity that came from pain, and how purpose and perspective carried him through 352 days of running. He also speaks about what’s next, and why the journey doesn’t end at the finish line.

Russ Cook "The Hardest Geezer" is a Huel ambassador; marking Huel's 10th anniversary and inspired by his achievement of running the length of Africa, Huel has created the Limit Seeker Fund - designed to inspire ordinary people to conquer extraordinary personal goals.

This episode is about pushing past limits, staying grounded, and finding meaning in the hardest miles.
