I’ll be honest I was a little skeptical at first. But after watching how much adversity you and your team have pushed through, I have no doubt you will complete your mission. Keep stomping Russ!
The rate of these videos coming out recently has been insane! I assume there’s been a backlog of content that couldn’t be uploaded, but still, Stan’s work here is unbelievable
Can we get Russ to do a quick breakdown of his running shoes, what he likes and dislikes about them at some point, i'd say he is probably one of the most qualified people on the planet to talk about shoes for ultra marathoning in. Cheers boys! Loving the frequency of the uploads lately, really is one of the highlights of my day seeing that you guys uploaded! Keep smashing that pesky tarmac 💪🏃
I have the same ones as Russ i think. Hoka speed goats 🐐 I have flat feet and usually have to wear arch supports in my shoes, especially running shoes, so I usually dread running like most people. Pros: My hokas are the only shoe I don't need the inserts. I was kinda blown away at how comfortable running felt after I got them. It actually feels like they propel you forward based off how the shoe is designed. I trail run in them and for my environment, I haven't found a shoe with better traction than these. Sometimes will even forgo wearing my nice hiking boots for my hokas if I'm doing a short day hike. (Oh and if my hiking boots ever shit the bed, hoka also makes hiking boots and I've definitely been eyeing them). Among a lot of elite running shoes, hoka has been known to be friendlier to those with wider feet, and it's much appreciated. Cons? They are on the pricey side if you just do casual running, but someone once said never skimp out on things that are between you and the ground (tires, beds, and shoes) and I think they're 100% right about that. SOMETIMES when hiking up steep slopes the ergonomics can backfire. What was once propelling you forward is now making you feel like you're falling backwards. Tis the nature of the idea tho🤷♂️ or could just be the way i walk. This is just my personal opinion, but i think their color designs are absolute trash. Idk why running shoes are so ugly😂 anything to stand out i guess.. That being said, I'm looking to switch my road running shoes to hokas. Their colors are much better and I think you can easily wear them with casual outfits and still look nice. Hope that was helpful

Happy to see constant pluses though. :)
lol he is so chill but also immediately jumped in to defend the gang when that drunk guy was harassing them a little while ago, everyone needs a friend like Gus.
Inspired me to get back into running, did a half and signed up for a full next year. Loved the change it's brought about for me. I know you are doing much bigger things with charity, but you're also making an impact elsewhere, legend.
Same. I started watching a few weeks before they started the mission after Geowizard mentioned Russ. I had never ran in my life and have my first half in three weeks.
I honestly didn't even think you were gonna make it this far. Massive achievement already, and I now believe you're actually gonna make it! Keep stompin'💪
One of the best episodes yet!! Some amazing visuals, interesting interactions and some slight worries about the mission makes this one of my favourites yet
Is it me or is this one HARD geezer. Keep it up Russ, that tarmac doesn’t know what’s coming. Edit: Man them cows on that ridge stomp even harder than Russ, had to overtake them three times there. Edit2: FOUR. FOUR TIMES.
Absolutely amazing what you are doing. But I am surprised about the road conditions in West Africa, most look perfect. When I traveled to Kenya and Tanzania in the 90s there were no paved roads outside the cities, only dirt roads with potholes everywhere. Keep smashing the tarmac, you will make it to Tunesia
This and Yves Kino are easily my favourite channels on TH-cam right now. Both great adventures through Africa, one on foot, the other on bike. Keep it up 💪
It's a crime that you don't have more subscribers, more views, and more donations. I get so hyped every time a new video comes out and I tell everyone I know about your journey. My hope is that by the halfway point you blow up online and get the following and support you deserve!!!
Fair play lads I'm fully engrossed in the saga best thing on youtube by far. And on top of the quality content youve raised over 70k for charity!? Incredible stuff
Even though I know you're already halfway across Nigeria I can't wait to watch the border crossing! Hopefully adding Jamie to the team will take the production up another notch!
As a german, 4 minutes into the video, I can tell: Don't underestimate our humor and get this eff'ing german out as quickly as possible. Much love from Kiel. - Geiler Typ! ;-)
"none of 'em active are they?" genuinely made me laugh. Like "Bruv just stopped pissing blood while running uphill for days, don't throw a vulcano at me right now"
You got this easy mate ! Only that meat in your skull can tell you what your legs need to do! Brotha you can tell me you're gonna run to the moon and i'd have no doubt you'd do it, truly putting in work as the Hardest Geezer. Real life super hero!
Please tell everyone you know about these videos and share all you can! I simply cannot believe that their subscriber count has completely stagnated when this is THE best show on youtube, if not the internet
I would love some more info on why/how people are joining and leaving. Like, why did Jarred leave all of a sudden last episode? How did this guy get in contact with you and why did he join you?
The boys have planned holiday to get some rest and relaxation away from the mission. It's where Harry went, where Jarred has gone, and sounds like Stan is heading off for a bit at some point. As for the new guys, Rus put out a job advert on twitter/Instagram looking for people to join them after some of the chaos that happened.
I told you before on your instagram , good luck finding a great doctor when your kidneys fail. BECAREFUL we all care about you don't die for something like this and don't Ruch it
I’ll be honest I was a little skeptical at first. But after watching how much adversity you and your team have pushed through, I have no doubt you will complete your mission. Keep stomping Russ!
I didnt believe they’d get past Angola, but now I genuinely believe they will do it. Its insane what they’ve gotten through
Me too. 100%
I think behind the joking around and stuff Russ really is the hardest geezer. Would love to meet him irl and shake his hand
@@syrus3k Same, it would be such an honour. If he doesn't get offered a knighthood, the king is slipping, and im genuine when I say that!
I am thinking about flying out for the finish line. I know he will do it. Its a bloody madness.
“Do you have any joy in life Gus” “I like Pizza” had me on the floor😂
Genuinely the improvement in both filming and editing quality has been enormous since you guys started 🙌
be a bit mad if they got worse wouldnt it
Nostalgic for the days of sound just being borked for half the episode
Editing is absolute madness Stan and Jamie!!! Loving the drone shots
The rate of these videos coming out recently has been insane! I assume there’s been a backlog of content that couldn’t be uploaded, but still, Stan’s work here is unbelievable
I couldn't agree more. I know they had the damaged laptop which meant they were unable to upload for a week or so but this is madness!
And your boy Jamie👌🏼👌🏼 smashing it lads
@@jancovanderwesthuizen8681 oh I didnt realie Jamie was another editor, I understand now! Amazing!
@@Nooticus I think back in present time Stan has now left for a much deserved break, these videos are at least a few weeks delayed
@@lunac6094 im aware they are a few weeks delayed yes

@@Nooticus thanks mate!
The vlogging music absolutely killed me 🤣💀
Gus is the ultimate chad
"I like pizza."
yes xD
@@hanswoast7loved it xD

@@MakoTheFrog he's perfect for the team honestly
@@MakoTheFrogpreach. Every friend group needs a Gus. If yours doesn't have one, be that guy

@@WS-bk7uu Smash it lad, you're inspirational too! Remember the 1s and 2s
You’re gonna make it bruv we’re all hella sure of it
Hahaha I stayed in that room! What a shit hole! And don’t get me started on the paint or toilet!!😂😂 can’t wait for the big crossing!!!
I honestly didn't even think you were gonna make it this far. Massive achievement already, and I now believe you're actually gonna make it! Keep stompin'💪
Lmao at the vlogger music at 19:40! XD That tune has literally got to be one of the first ever vlogger bits of music, really nostalgic now haha
Such a huge fan of what y'all are doing. I've told 20+ people about it already
One of the best episodes yet!! Some amazing visuals, interesting interactions and some slight worries about the mission makes this one of my favourites yet
The aerial shots in this one are class!
Stans challenge of editing every day is equally epic :p.
by the way, Stan and Jamie, the geolocation tag on this video next to the viewcount still says 'Republic of the Congo. Keep it up legends
Is it me or is this one HARD geezer.
Keep it up Russ, that tarmac doesn’t know what’s coming.
Edit: Man them cows on that ridge stomp even harder than Russ, had to overtake them three times there.
Edit2: FOUR. FOUR TIMES.
He is the HARDEST geezer after all
Loving the daily uploads. Keep them coming. Quality has jumped loads and everyone is feeling more natural in front and behind the camera
Shout out Stan for all the editing and video work so far
The new editing tandem is SICK video is looking more crisp and epic than ever
It'd be cool to learn a bit more about the team, their background and how/why they became a part of the mission.
Absolutely amazing what you are doing. But I am surprised about the road conditions in West Africa, most look perfect. When I traveled to Kenya and Tanzania in the 90s there were no paved roads outside the cities, only dirt roads with potholes everywhere. Keep smashing the tarmac, you will make it to Tunesia

Just started binge-watching this adventure. You're the MAN, Russ. What a fucking machine!
channel’s on a road to a million subs real soon
"none of 'em active are they?" genuinely made me laugh. Like "Bruv just stopped pissing blood while running uphill for days, don't throw a vulcano at me right now"
Commenting for the Algorithm let's get this mad lad to 1 mil
Solid crew, consistent performers! Get up there the boys 💪🏼
SO hyped to see the next episode, we're coming up to the logistical climax of the entire mission
Suprise early episode...! I love it!💃🙌
That is Rnhabdomylosis. Be careful.
Buzz cut light year is going hard.

Keep up the good work bro. This is a great story.

I just never want these videos to end!! You guys are awesome and I love watching this adventure! You’re smashing it Russ 😘
Please look after yourself and your kidneys mate
- a concerned, amazed Dr + massive fan
When is Harry coming back to the team?
By far the best series on TH-cam at the moment
The man has become machine..well done Russ
I love how Russ’s “taking it easy” is still 1.15 marathons…a day.
Great shots, music, editing, content on this one
You got this easy mate ! Only that meat in your skull can tell you what your legs need to do! Brotha you can tell me you're gonna run to the moon and i'd have no doubt you'd do it, truly putting in work as the Hardest Geezer. Real life super hero!
Those Cameronian bros was the most unexpected meeting yet!
Awesome yet again… almost skipped this one as it meant I’d be late for lunch- decided to let the in-laws wait - now I have to go face my battle 💪
I peed dark brown when my liver was shutting down due to a blockage in my common bile duct. Something to pay attention to…
Yeahhhh there's a reason you're called the Hardest Geezer, Russ. Absolute unit.
rooting for you!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh also GREAT JOB with switching to google maps for the map segments, so much better!
Best series on TH-cam!
Day 18 of asking Tunisia to change Ras Angela to Russ Angela
Yo, 3 times a week? TH-cam ain't ready for that level of stomping boys! Keep strong, keep motoring lads.
Nice to hear dnb motivating you through your runs man ahahaha, love from bristol
Big hugs russ
Best one yet
Keep stomping Russ, you are an absoulte god king champion, remember Nige's lessons
Keep going Geezer, you’re gonna smash it. Not much longer to go
Run around Australia next?
Fantastic job, keep it up. Get rid of the black frames at the end, might contribute to dropping retention rates etc
The vlog part killed me 😂😅
Keep smashing out those 1 &2s mate.
‘Before they were sent to their watery graves’ lmao
'I like pizza' is iconic.
'What a privilege!' I love Stan 😊
Wow treating us to another video so soon- Stan must be knackered
The game is the game!
The vlogging music was such a good roast 😆
Absolutely insane!! Keep grinding, lets gooooii
"On the next episode, the 'on the next episode' outro returns."...
Please tell everyone you know about these videos and share all you can! I simply cannot believe that their subscriber count has completely stagnated when this is THE best show on youtube, if not the internet
Hey Stan - What's the track used at 16:40? I gotta add that to the playlist. It's so beautiful!
All in routing for this mad man
Eating Pringle's while your body needs all the good you can musta.
"I'm pissing blood"
1:56 Stan’s laugh 💀😂😂
I would love some more info on why/how people are joining and leaving. Like, why did Jarred leave all of a sudden last episode? How did this guy get in contact with you and why did he join you?

Bravo lads. These videos get better with each upload. 1’s and 2’s, Tunisia awaits!
Hope it goes smooth but conflicts are content I guess?
Hahaha. When that youtube music came on. Hahaha
