Hardest Geezer, Russ Cook

Endurance runner Russ Cook, tells Eddie Hearn about his epic adventure running the entire length of Africa, through 16 countries in 352 days. He raised over a million pounds for charity on his 16,000km challenge. It was the realisation that he needed to sort himself out and a spur-of-the-moment decision to run home after a night out clubbing that sparked this passion that has taken him around the world. He tells Eddie about the setting off with a fraction of the money he needed to complete the mission but he believed that if he shared his story financial backing would come. They discuss the power of sport to change lives for the better and what the future adventures might look like. Produced by Jane Thurlow
