Attempting to Run a Marathon with FOOD POISONING| Running Africa #8

[@AidanM94x]

"I need to run at least a marathon" is one of the hardest lines I've heard someone say.

[@Ozmeister17]

Nails, mate

[@filippeo]

When he said that I realized how ridiculous this challenge actually is

The words of a stone cold legend

[@georgewallis2020]

Meanwhile I'm here thinking "I should at least get out of bed today"

[@LiveTheDash]

this bit was CRAZY!

[@cameramanstan]

Should clarify Nessy didn't make the sandwich! Spar did. Get down there and sort em out.

[@ElPestino]

I would trust Nessy with my life

[@DonPabloVP]

Was starting to get worried there, phew 👀🤣

[@andytromp8794]

We're boycotting them Stan, don't worry!

[@jonnyjonnyjonnyjonny]

Thanks for clarifying.

[@Hobomountainwander]

This is when you need some Pedialyte. This ginger lad is so bloody determined.

[@cernunos8153]

Russ is an absolute mad man. There are very few people on this planet who could do something this insane

[@Wagesclock]

Stan should be majorly proud of himself for this one, give yourself a pat on the back mate… not just the cinematography and brilliant edit, but for his actions on the ground and handling that intense situation. Fair play mate 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@tomnorman6165]

"Sorry to shove a camera in your face" "That's alright, the game's the game" Honestly choked me up

[@joshsampiero]

The game is the game

[@vikinginspace4881]

what does he mean when he says that?

[@sabreTF]

@@vikinginspace4881 It's what he signed up for. Something similar to "The name of the game."

[@drewbocop]

[@AB-pp2zy]

Big up to Jackie for helping the boys keep Russ alive! Same for his girlfriend for calling them in the first place.

[@Jh9801]

What an episode. Stan's natural empatheticness really adds to the team and the story.

[@paolohoward227]

So glad you’ve clarified Nessy’s not the culprit here - from a viewing perspective it looked nailed on! 😆

[@robs720]

17:10 is absolutely crazy. You can see the absolute emptiness behind his eyes. So scary. What an amazing human.

[@Daniel-Davies-Gonstead-Student]

I noticed that part in particular as well. The vacant zombie gaze...

[@MyRegularNameWasTaken]

I've never seen a human look so much like a frightened wild animal

[@NigelDanson]

Jesus mate - that was hard to watch. You are so bloody tough. Absolutely incredible effort to get through those two days. BOOM!

[@joegoff6166]

“I need to run at least a marathon” just shows how high the bar is. Amazing commitment!

[@LiveTheDash]

Absolutely BRUTAL! The bit in the car at the end Stan says 'you should be proud of yourself' left a lump in the throat! Back stronger!

[@keano_rl]

Can't wait for this series to start getting the attention it deserves; some of the best content on youtube at the moment :)

[@gh0sty5]

You should put the days that happen throughout each episode in each video title. Ex: I ran a marathon whilst vomiting - Running The Entire Length of Africa #8 (Day 30-34)

[@Zach-bt2ky]

There's a reason youre not a popular youtuber mate

[@SteveStan]

@@Zach-bt2ky ok but I am and I approve

[@JosHawken]

@SteveStan legendary words!

[@fizeekpoaster]

Smart

[@tedh]

I think the issue is the title would then be insanely long, it’s almost pointless

[@Twist930]

What a fucking savage this man is!!! Hope this blows up you deserve it man!!!

[@161alden]

I'm still in the middle of watching #3, but I wanted to comment on this for better chance of you guys seeing it. Bros I'm all in on this series. Like many others, Geowizard was the mouthpiece. The camera work is great, the thumbnails are hilarious, and the cast of characters are fantastic. I'm gonna eat this shit up all the way to Tunisia. Journeys like these are just as much about the crew as they are the runner. You guys are crushing it, keep it up

[@raulpetrascu2696]

You are such an inspiration. After watching I started running and am surprised by how far I can go, and I keep pushing. You guys are making a positive impact ❤

[@angelamouland8012]

These videos are fantastic. Stan did amazing handling that whole situation and remaining cool. What a team. Exactly what you need for such an insane extreme challenge.

[@DonPabloVP]

I’ve been saying throughout this whole thing that the boys are doing some job looking after Russ, and after watching this, I have to say, being able to run like a maniac for months straight isn’t his only blessing, fair play lads 👏🏽👏🏽

[@danielmango1806]

I’ve been keeping up with the series for a while now (since before you left really) and I’m trying to get out to walk/jog everyday like you are. I can’t hold a candle to you, but you’re inspiring others to be healthy and attempt to better their lives through fitness. Thank you.

[@tobysimmonds487]

It's crazy the progress that you guys have already made, I say you guys because yes Russ is running, but the sheer work and effort that the team goes through is insane! Not to undermine the insanity of Russ's achievements so far, it's honestly indescribable how much he has done! Well done!

[@thoomish3556]

I think I speak for everyone when I say I would rather see Russ complete more of the mission than push too hard and find his limit early, doesn't matter to me if it takes twice as long, just focus on doing it eventually and not killing yourself in the process! A bit of restraint is sometimes the smarter call. It was concerning to see you run your body half to death. Much love man and I wish you luck on your journey.

[@lukelyons263]

just been on a 5k at 20C i can't fathom the mental strength Russ has to do this.

[@probablynot879]

He’s ginger as well, even his genetics are against him

[@Run_Like_a_T-Rex]

Russ, you're an absolute madman and inspiration. Support crew that was an absolute masterclass of empathy, diligence, and support whilst also understanding and respecting the ability and capacity of your teammate. What a team effort 👏👏👏

[@spellbinder3113]

I'm glad you have such a good support system around you.

[@this_Jamie]

Jesus Christ. This is unreal, and the storytelling of it top their. Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you.

[@robeverts3090]

Russ you don't have to pull these stunts to keep us entertained. Stay alive man

[@Bnio]

For real. I'm here for a smart, well-planned run of the entirety of Africa. I want to see it end in a celebration in Tunisia, not onboard a hospital helicopter ride in Angola or wherever.

[@ThatGreatGuyJesus]

Really don't think it's about keeping people entertained. He's pushing himself for himself

[@adamlucina]

@@ThatGreatGuyJesus yeah ikr, ridiculous ppl would assume that ppl do shit like this for "content"

[@LeeAllen337]

Russ you are an inspiration. Please take care of yourself. And why you don't have a million subs yet is beyond me. C'mon YT bump this content.

[@EuropesNinja]

Russ is in a different level of flow state with his running. The ability to push so hard considering the situation but still knowing he's not at his limit yet is crazy. He's superhuman.

[@anthea5799]

I have no words.. wow! This was brutal to watch! I have had the same thing over the past few days like being sick and the other thing and man I couldn’t even find the strength to stand up .. massive props to you for still running, but sometimes our body is trying to tell us something hey.. good luck Russ!🙏🏼

[@xavierstutz860]

Amazing grit and tenacity mate, love the content don’t know how y’all can manage this feat and still have time to record, edit, etc… KEEP GOING

[@danielhewlett2395]

1s and Poos! 1s and Poos! Get in there boys x

What an absolute legend. Really enjoying following your progress, you’re inspiring me to become a better runner

"that's quite concerning tbf" might be the understatement of the year

[@tomlucas4866]

Spectacular! what a man, what a team. Keep stomping, genuinely unbelievable what is being delivered

[@malco84]

I've been waiting to see how you managed to get through this. That was brutal fair play to you, on the edge of stupidity. Glad you and the team got through this.

[@graham8854]

Truly amazing grit and determination Russ. We are all cheering you on from our armchairs. The whole team are fantastic 🤟❤

[@BroonTheMoon]

Safety is the most important thing mate! Incredible feat but don't take too many chances! We need you alive

[@dango9786]

This is insane, I have never seen anything like this. When I heard about this guy a week ago I laughed at the "hardest geezer" name. Not laughing anymore. Absolute warrior.

[@michaelgoodwin495]

Unreal human. 99.9% of this population would just refuse to carry on with their body in this state. But it's exactly the reason why no one is crazy enough to do this challenge apart from the hardest geezer! Keep smashing it!!!

[@SamJansson]

While Russ is a beast, I'm so glad you've got Jackie with some expert advice at the end of the phone

[@Daniel-Davies-Gonstead-Student]

100% - to me, that advice of essentially "Russ will run if Russ wants to run and there's nothing you can do to stop him" was probably the best bit of advice Stan needed to hear.

[@hansmuster6103]

What a legend Stan is

[@tryeverything3666]

Your resilience is unbelievable! Props to the crew too you guys are killing it!

[@barkingupthetree]

All those miles cracked out whilst having food poisoning and being delirious! Hell of a mindset ! Keep stomping geezer!!

[@arronbird3603]

These episodes just keep getting better and better. Kudos to Russ for being an absolute warrior and to the media team for making this amazing content, best thing to watch at the minute!

[@BillyRaines]

What a legend! Absolutely dying, “I Need some Caffeine”! You’re the man Ross!

[@40jwthomas]

“The game’s the game” well done Russ, you’ve already inspired the world.

[@nathannath53]

I'm a bit late to the videos but that just speaks to his mentality. An inspiration to everyone out there.

Kudos to tasteful editing. Enjoyed during a meal, no problem.

Inspirational is an understatement. Go on lad, keep collecting those 1s & 2s. Channel beginning to pop deservedly so. Well done team 👏👏

[@BurningChariot]

This was an intense episode. You’re a machine, one of most inspiring people I’ve ever watched. Keep smashing the miles in, you got this.

[@Cakei69]

Good to see you are having resonable people with you! imporant to have a great crew!

[@froghornleghorn]

Can't tell you how relieving it is to see you seeking support from an actual medical professional. Until then I just imagined Russ trying to solve everything with sausage rolls and a can of monster.

[@BrandonTonner]

Crying at this 😂😂😂

Good job lads been watching for a while now. Hope you guys get the exposure you deserve on youtube. Stay hard!

This guy is a fucking beast, and he's got some fucking team behind him, you lads are insane, props to you lads, you've got me running, but looking after myself in the process.

[@tobygoodman9134]

Defiantly the best episode so far. Russ is an absolute savage its insane. Not sure if people like Russ are the norm in the ultra running community, but Jesus, he really is a freak of a human.

[@runwithjon]

Can you share some of the actual temperatures other than "it's hot"? It would be cool to know how the temperature varies through the mission

[@EJproductionsxD]

I agree that would be great!

[@ayysasuke]

it would be around the mid 30s at this time of year if im not mistaken in the namibian desert
