Real ones have been watching his KZbin series since last year. What a goat Russell

[@gol4695]

March for me😢 The catch up binge was epic I feel we are all friends now

[@brandy5836]

Been following it since May last year, most epic series ever

[@yourmothersfavourite9396]

Watched every episode me and the misses every new upload💪🏼from watching him plan it to the finish line

[@lb7164]

Been watching since he buried himself alive on the livestream and ran a marathon drinking a beer after ever KM 😂 legend

[@colesym84]

People don't understand, he averaged a marathon a day. But with delays, border hassle etc. He was running 2 marathons a day, over and over for a while.

[@Seth0204]

‘And he even did a marathon in a pair of ‘no two ways’ shoes’ - chip ‘that must of hurt’ 🤣🤣🤣

the yellow shirt guy is getting roasted in tunisian media

Who's the yellow shirt guy lol

@@acg9891 the guy from the finish line photo who nearly ran through the finish line before russ hahaha

[@imnear214]

for obvious and well thought through reasons. i mean the dude ripped his ass just for some rando to try to steal his show :D

[@zyzz2011playlist]

Cape the good hope is not the southwest point of Africa - it’s Cape Algunhas, and that’s where he started ;)

[@olliedavies6815]

Some people don’t seem to get it isn’t just an endurance test but a mental test

[@tpfootballanalysis6752]

In an Olympic year, theres no way Russ wins Sports Personality

[@dew8s]

‘Kipchoge couldn’t stand a chance’ 😂😂😂😂 shut up proddy

[@benarnold8578]

I forgot Proddy knew so much about running… Kipchoge runs 200k per week every week

[@troysmith3082]

Russ Cook was a messenger in a previous life. 'Yes sire I'll have that 70km distance covered in 8 hours. Prepare your men for war'

[@adambassuni6084]

Hows proddy just said kipchoge wouldnt have a chance and no ones heard it? 😂he runs 200-220km a week, every week, for training

[@lb7164]

Running 200km a week for 50 weeks (how long it took Russ) is still only 10,000km, and Russ ran 16,000. He’d probably be able to based off running ability alone but he’d struggle

[@greedyboi011]

Good chat overall but I do disagree that you think professional marathon runners couldn’t do it. Clearly there are a lot of elite athletes, particularly runners, that could achieve it, but being capable and actually putting the graft in and doing it, including all the logistic nightmares is another thing entirely. It takes a huge amount of mental strength that I do believe makes russ special.

[@georgeg4202]

professional marathon runners and ultra marathon runners aren't the same people

[@greedyboi011]

@@georgeg4202 at no point did I say that. But you thinking someone who spends everyday of their life doing exercise professionally can’t build up to running an ultra marathon or multiple marathons a day is really laughable. Eddie izzard did 27 marathons in 27 days and you think kipcoge can’t do this??? Don’t be stupid. Would they want to do it is another question entirely, but particularly when pace is not an issue it’s much more a question of mentality than physical ability.

[@moelester2817]

Yeah its logistically what makes this hard (obviously EXTREMELY physically enduring too), but to say professional marathon runners like Kipchoge couldn't pull this off is laughable.

[@JHgolf08]

Proddy said Kipchoge couldn’t do it 😂

[@henrikv5410]

It's a shame so many of you guys making content about Russ Cook, doesnt even link to his donation page.,.........

[@AlexMorrison-te2cd]

And hes ginger 🎉🎉🎉

[@bruuhhhh]

I'm not convinced that Kipchoge could but 'wouln't stand a chance'? I mean come on he would clearly stand a good chance of getting it done

[@Linderism]

😂 He is for sure on of those that could get it done.

[@adambassuni6084]

Kipchoge racks up 200-220km a week while training and most of it is 😂. There shouldnt be a single doubt whether he could complete the same achievement lmao

[@bruuhhhh]

@@adambassuni6084 I'm sure he could physically but there were lots of challenges like continuing after being robbed at gunpoint that it's impossible to say how he would deal with it. Also Russ was doing a fair bit more than 220km a week

[@MadeOfStone02]

You aren’t taking into account the logistics side of it. Not to mention the mental resilience you’d need after being robbed then weeks later being kidnapped for days.

[@Linderism]

@@bruuhhhh Yeah but he means that kipchoge does 220 as training. He could ofcourse push himself physically to 350 why wouldnt he. The mental part of the game is probably where Russ stands out.

[@dylanburns9381]

Sports personality of the year in the same year as the euros and olympic is gonna be hard lol

[@thatguyjokes4766]

Proddy is so reactionary. Yes Russ Cook done an amazing feat but relax Proddy about MBE and all of that 😂. Proddy is glazing hard, I didn’t see him donate to the fundraiser 👀

[@guillembauza1658]

He wanted to run the other way to get away from Freezy's face.

[@brendanmcgeown7043]

Never mind the physical toll on the body, its the mental attrition to keep pushing the physically arduous trek through sickness, injury, uncertainties, logistical nightmares, fear of death, financial worries... all of it. Pro ultramarathoners could in theory do the miles certainly but theyd be alot more sanitised, safe and secure compared to how Russ managed the feat and that is the difference.

[@bribrown2712]

Russ is mega, the man is not right lol

[@cometravelwithme9473]

Southern most point of South Africa is at the Cape Agulhas & that’s where Rus started 👍

[@alisonward64]

Russ ran the entire length of Africa.

[@jacobwood8320]

The Danish guy said he thinks Russ should hold the record for running from the northern point to the most southern… if you didn’t run from the top to bottom, you did not run across Africa Mr Danish. You ran in Africa, not across it.

[@CatrinMorgan-wz4ff]

As if Kipchoge couldn’t do it, there are plenty of marathoners running well over 200km a week that could do this. They’ve been running that type of volume for 20 years as well in some cases. It’s still mindblowing, but to say Kipchoge couldn’t do it is just wrong.

[@mattwiper]

A lot of pro marathon runners probably could do it in fairness. Kelvin kiptum was running well over 100 miles a week at a lot quicker paces. But he’s the first so that’s all that matters really

[@olivermorgan4934]

Kipchoge wouldn’t stand a chance??😂😂

[@brammiejo]

Ultra running, especially every day is a different category.

[@speckie2597]

literally a different sport

[@josephmorley2753]

Its completely different, please educate yourself

[@mbeec1]

He couldn’t, just like Russ probably couldn’t run a sub 2hr 20 marathon. Completely different things.

[@finnrattray]

Bro Kipchoge/Any Elite marathoner would easily do it, it’s just about whether someone wanted to do it in the same way Russ did. Don’t think some of you lot understand that Ultra running and the training elite marathon runners do every week isn’t actually that different in terms of mileage. Russ was averaging 28.7 miles per day, some of the elite marathon runners would do fairly similar. Think before he died, Kiptum was doing 25 miles per day most days including Interval sessions which Russ obviously wasn’t doing. Without doing hard workouts, body/core exercises they could easily run it in far quicker times. There’s just no social/economic motivation to do so for many not to mention logistics for passports etc. You lot clearly don’t have any knowledge on elite marathon runners training.

[@charliesmith1984]

Kipchoge defo could prody pal. Picked possibly the only other athlete in the world that could do it 😭😭.

[@Cole4Short]

Kipchoge definitely can

[@Joe-hl2ts]

Of course he's capable of running the distance, he's the greatest long distance runner of all time basically, but it's also about the mental test, Russ was robbed at gunpoint, almost kidnapped, had loads of health issues, that's part of the challenge too

[@Cole4Short]

@@Joe-hl2ts agree 100% but we talking about the greatest marathon runner to ever live and asking him to do exactly that. In his home continent we cannot write him off just like that

[@tokilladaemon]

​@@Cole4Shortbro whos writing him off?? Of course he could do it, there are probably dozens or even hundreds of endurance athletes who phyiscally could be capable of it, no doubt. Point is, russ cook is the one who got out of bed one morning and actually did that shit

[@tokilladaemon]

Ok my bad i didnt get to that point in the video yet lol
