We're back with another episode of Run with Mo as I welcome guest number 8 of the series, Russ Cook aka the @hardestgeezer!
In this episode, we find out about Russ' incredible achievement of running the length Africa, challenges he's faced, how faith has guided him in his journey and what's next for the Hardest Geezer.
Russ Cook, known aka "Hardest Geezer," is an endurance athlete and content creator celebrated for his extraordinary running feats. In April 2024, he became the first person to run the entire length of Africa, covering approximately over 10,000 miles across 16 countries in 352 days. Beyond this monumental achievement, Russ has undertaken other extreme challenges, including running from Istanbul to his hometown in England and setting a world record for the fastest marathon while pulling a car. Russ' latest challenge is running the entire length of New Zealand.
