I watched the podcast you did once you’d left and your story sounded so amazing I’ve binge watched about 3-4 episodes a day. Sobbed through this last episode. What an incredible adventure you all went through. All of your team, and the people you met along the way made for one epic adventure. Huge congrats Russ, for an incredible achievement.
just watched the series all the way through. Russ, what a bloke you are! well done to all the team involved
I just finished watching this series from start to finish and I'm in awe. The tenacity and ferocity of those stomping ones and twos has left me dumbfounded. And what a crew. Honestly, the best series on Youtube. Bar none.
Started watching this series after the journey had ended but nonetheless what a monumental achievement 👏👏 truly inspirational from Russ. And big props to the rest of the team as well, amazing videography and editing which made the series incredibly immersive and entertaining 👏 enjoy your well earned rest all
That was amazing 😢
23 yo male small meniscus tear knee really hurts when running more than 10 minutes. Used to do ultras. Any advice ? Orthopedic said surgery is an option but didn't endorse it really I heard from some other runners they regret getting surgery since there knee was more fucked afterwards. Not sure what to do..
Now run the whole of Europe
I hear someone is making project Eurasia now 🫡
He probably ran more kilometers in that year than I ever did in my 34 years of living.
Hi Russ! Please publish a video soon!
muppet with the flag at the end: "this is about me".
About 24:22 to the end will go down as one of the greatest pieces of endurance cinema ever created. Stan, Jamie, Guus, ya'll killed it.
This was an amazing journey! I am battling diabetes and have come to realize the ONLY way to beat this is to create an exercise routine I can stick to for life. And walking my dogs doesn’t cut it!!!!I started doing little marathons, 12Ks and hikes. Watching your struggle to complete your self set challenge was truly amazing and inspirational! You all lost so much weight! I can’t imagine how hard this truly was for you all. It is very obvious there were many other challenges you chose not to share! Access to go quality food and water had to be at the top!
I can’t wait to hear how you all are doing, even if you do an update a year from now! Warmest wishes!
This guy is a beast
Watched every episode. Netflix should have done a deal with you it was incredible. Well done guys
What an incredible journey! I watched every episode and am so proud of you all!
BRO IS NOT HUMAN
Stan I literally have just as much respect for you for being there the entire time as much as I do for russ in the run.
Whole team you fucking smashed it!
This is so SICK.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So happy you made this serie and made the hole team an equal part of it 🌸
found it after you were done and have now Seen it all ❤️ best ever! Thank you for team and the great interviews after 💯
No words… just speechless! Thank you Russ and all for such inspiration. You truly push the boundaries as to what is possible
Bro you need to go on Joe rogan
incredible.
absolutely insane.
Just discovered the hardest thing about this bloke was drinking Huel. Tastes like drinking saw dust.
nah that's brazy
yellow shirt guy at the end fucked it, russ should've been in frame alone at the finishing line
I have never commented on a YouTube video until now. I am sat here bawling like a baby watching the final episode. So damn proud of a fella I’ve never even met. Absolutely incredible accomplishment. Well done russ and all of the team. Bang bang!
His next run will be up and down england searching for all the SouthgateOut decriers from 3 weeks ago. Not a sign of them. 🔍🔎
Any chance of an upload ya fooking lazy bar steward
Who is the piece of shit that ran in front of you?
Congratulations to Russ (and the dude in the yellow t-shirt with the red flag) for running the length of Africa. Two legends.
Miss you

Mmh ❤ well done
Algeria>>>
Guy rolled a 19 on endurance and a 3 on charisma
Amazing achievement well done
What a legend.
It’s been 3 months… We need a new adventure to watch. Fingers crossed there’s something coming soon🙏🏻
Soooo glad ALL THE GUYS were there at the end ,that started and couldn't do the whole year. I was hoping they would reunite. ❤❤ Russ girlfriend Emily was beautiful 😍, better scrub up on your table manners if you want to keep her.😊
Hey, i’ve gotten a notice that my pre-order for the Hardest Geezer Book has been cancelled, and is no longer available.
Is the book being delayed? Or is it completely cancelled?
Or something else like the book store just can’t deliver it?
I'm from Tunis, Tunisia, I went up north of the country to celebrate his final run I was there, I've never seen more british people in my life like I did that day, Bizerta felt like a British city at one point, total unbelievable and unforgettable!
Bro was on top of the world with content. Then he severed all ties with the community he grew and decided to become a Tory suck up. His downfall must be studied.
