Endurance, Determination and Grit: The first ever man to run the length of Africa shares his inspirational story
10,000 miles. 16 countries. 352 days.
Hardest Geezer, Russ Cook, is the first person to ever run the entire length of Africa. From his starting point in Cape Agulhas, South Africa, through sandstorms in the Sahara Desert, rainforests, mountain ranges and long empty roads stretched out for miles in front of him, Russ ran the equivalent of 386 marathons before finally crossing the finish line in Tunisia 50 weeks later.
Attempted kidnaps, being held at gunpoint in an armed robbery and the whole challenge left hanging in the balance when he was denied the right to cross Algeria, Russ never once contemplated giving up. When he crossed the finish line in Ras Angela, he did so with the eyes of the world on him.
Africa may have been his most physical challenge yet but it certainly wasn’t his first. For years, Russ hid from the realities of life by drinking too much and losing himself in the world of online gambling and it wasn’t until he discovered running and sought out endurance challenges that life took a different turn. He soon learned that you don’t get to avoid the struggle, but you do get to choose it.
Hardest Geezer: Mind over Miles, is an inspirational story full of sheer grit and incredible determination.
‘You get one chance at life. Go and have a stab at it.’

In Eat and Run, Scott Jurek opens up about his life and career - as an elite athlete and a vegan - and inspires runners at every level. From his Midwestern childhood hunting, fishing, and cooking for his meat-and-potatoes family, to his early beginnings in running (he hated it), to his slow transition to ultrarunning and veganism, to his world-spanning, record-breaking races, Scott's story shows the power of an iron will and blows apart all the stereotypes of what athletes should eat to fuel optimal performance.

Isolated by Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons, the blissful Tarahumara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit.

When Emily Halnon lost her beloved mother to a rare uterine cancer at just sixty-six years old, she wanted to do something monumental to honor the person her mother had been. Emily's mom had taken up running in her late forties; she ran her first marathon at fifty. She even went skydiving to celebrate her sixtieth birthday. Emily, already an accomplished ultrarunner, decided to try to break the record for the Fastest Known Time by a woman on the Pacific Crest Trail's 460 miles across Oregon.

Inspiring Story
I love that the Hardest Geezer himself narrated his book. I learned even more about him and Project Africa than what I saw on YouTube. I love that Russ was so open and candid about his life...and his narration improved as the book went on. I listened to the book while running and it was the perfect thing to keep me motivated and entertained on long run day!

Listened while on my run across South Africa
It’s a privilege to be running on the same road Russ endured at the beginning of his journey.

What an epic adventure!
I first started following Mr. Geezer somewhere in Africa. I knew there’d be a book, but didn’t expect it so quickly and boy am I happy about that. I really enjoyed his story from his struggles, and his honesty with himself. I loved that he narrated it too. I look forward to see Mr. Geezer’s next endeavor but following this experience was something I’ll never forget and this book reaffirms that for those of us who were along for the ride from afar.

Brilliant story of resilience
Brilliant story of resilience. Very tainted view of South Africa, which is not accurate. Team dynamics also leaves a bitter taste.
