The Hardest Geezer: What It REALLY Takes To Run Across Africa | Russ Cook | #76

This week we're joined by the one and only Ross Cook, aka The Hardest Geezer.

From running 66 days self-supported from Asia to London to becoming the first person to run the entire length of Africa, Russ has built a reputation for pushing the limits of human endurance.

We get into the reality behind these insane adventures, the mental battles, dealing with people questioning whether he actually ran across Africa, finding purpose, fatherhood and what comes next.

We also discuss why people get too comfortable, the importance of chasing something meaningful and why you don't have to settle for the life you've found yourself in.
