Extreme endurance athlete Russ Cook, better known as ‘Hardest Geezer’, opens up about the mental and physical toll of running the entire length of Africa.

In this episode, Russ talks honestly about injury, doubt, and the moments he came close to quitting during 352 relentless days on the road. He shares what pain taught him, how purpose carried him forward when motivation disappeared, and why perspective mattered more than strength.

Russ also reflects on life after the finish line, what’s driving him next, and why extreme challenges are really about staying grounded, not chasing limits.

This episode is about endurance, meaning, and continuing to move forward when stopping would be easier.
