The First MAN, PERSON, HUMAN, LIVING BEING to run the length of africa!
First living being is probably right. Birds fly further, but what animal walks the entire length of Africa?
Only first since records began as we wouldn’t know if someone did it before that.
He is NOT the first Brit. He is the first PERSON. You have not ran the length unless you’ve gone from the most northern and southern points
I was gonna comment this lol
Thank you for having a brain that is fully functional
@gmb please update the headline
Ditto, absolute joke that the English media are not being factual correct ! Get behind tbd man, he is the truly the greatest!
Swear down I thought I was the only one who noticed this headline!
Awful headline. First Brit. He’s the first person!
First and last Brit. haha
Only since records began
Englishman*
They said that because it turns out he wasn't the first person. Once the story got big it came out that at least 1, maybe 3 people had done this before. He was the fastest, he took the longest route, but he almost certainly wasn't the first.
THE FIRST PERSON TO RUN AFRICA END POINT TO END POINT... RESPECT THIS GUYS ACHIEVEMENT.
Hope Jamie, Stan & Gus are getting the recognition for their efforts too ❤
We love them! Without them there would be no project africa
@GansGreuts And Harry and James!
Jarred, Harry and Jimmy also!! Harry and Jarred part of the original crew who got the project off the ground! All deserve the plaudits!
And Jared, James and Harry
@GansGreuts nessie
It's weird seeing him all clean and in a bright studio
Bro still looks homeless. Thought he would delete the beard and the wig or at least trim it😂😂
@@juddadavis prob better to keep it until after all the interviews so that he's recognisable
still lookin FEROCIOUS!
but finally clean!
Looks like an absolute warrior
Not just the first Brit but also the first human! Others have run from South Africa to Cairo which is obviously also insane but this was the first time anyone's run from the most southerly point to the most northerly point of Africa, and that deserves its own recognition.
Ridiculous how they're asking about the next challenge. The man has just completed the length of africa a few days ago, a huge, monumental undertaking. Its not even been a week, lets talk about Africa

It's just for the viewers, obviously they don't really expect it.
Why no link to the Charity Fundraising page? Surely that should be in the description to this video? I know Russ mentions it in the clip but surely GMB should add the link to enable people to donate.
I’m surprised he’s not on the news here in the States. What an accomplishment.
Ahahahahah the subdued "hello everyone" at 0:12 - classic
Just delighted for him. Absolutely nothing compares to the sheer happiness I have for that man for completing all of that. Can't wait to follow what's next. 💪👏🙌
Change the title of this video. He’s the first person ever not just from Britain.
A few others have run Egypt to South Africa as part of their runs but not the full length
TH FIRST MAN TO RUN!!! HE RAN FROM POINT TO POINT. Man i hate british media
Big love from Algeria,I hope you enjoy Algeria trip,you are an idol for good man
Just brilliant :)
Big love to Stan and co, too ❤
Dude we need more coverage on him here in the States… like, it’s one of the few POSITIVE news-worthy stores in a while and they’re sleeping on him…. Go Geezer!
Weird seeing russ without greasy hair 😂
he looks wild!😂
More people will look if it says Brit. This show is really patriotic.
Браво Гизер !!!!!
Fair play for the coverage GMB! Russ is Such a legend!
In perspective a London Marathon every day for a year ! Massive hats off for this achievement ! Hardest Geeza indeed !!!
What a legend man imagine the pain in his feet and knees
More happy over the sausages rolls then the interview, love that 😂
Amazing athlete and extremely likeable man.
First Person *
Will they do a movie about this.😮 I would like to see
what why first brit?? The first human that is way more EPIC than first brit!!!
plane tragedy, X victims, X from your country. its harmless tabloid nationalism
I would like to beat this record as a Nigerian.
Forrest Gump if he was from Worthing
Life is like a box of sausage rolls
pffft! he was only a side character! bring back Gus
😂😂
Not the first brit. The first HUMAN, EVER!!! Dont downplay his achievement!
He is the first PERSON to run the entire length of Africa. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.
Unless you measure how tall someone is up to their shoulder
Sorry kid, the holes and cliches are obvious to most Africans, but you're the mark on this hustle.
Hardest Geezer, nicest person 🥺
😢Very inspiring really, may young obese children become motivated by this performance, I myself am.Started walking 3 miles at least very day.
‘First person to run Entiya Lenf of Africa’
The firsr Brit 🤦😂 hes the first person EVER to do it
First person! What a hero
First brit?? He is the first human to ever do it! Dont try put a damper on this huge achievement he’s accomplished
First person! Not Brit, let’s get this right guys
Legend ❤❤❤
Certified legend!
That interviewer really wanted one of Russ' saucy rolls
Well done to him!
Legend
The ending 😂😂😂
I can only manage a couple marathons a year. How can he do one marathon a day?!?!
Amazing
Forest gump nods head in acknowledgment
What he did to that African tarmac was criminal.
I want that greggs box
Great interview. Poor title - It's 'first'.
he's our jesus
Hardest Jesus
lol, Russ didn't get crucified at any point did he? lol maybe that's what he's not showing us
1's and 2's!!
👏🤩iand wat hy cheingd-bak to pab tiu selebrate🏆.....🤔😅
He is not just the first brit, but the first person! Please change the headline
Title is so disrespectful
First person. get it right
Ask chat gpt they agree with me lol
Strange title. First Brit? 😂🤦🏻♂️
FIRST PERSON EVER, GET IT RIGHT!!
The hardest Jesus
Top G
The first person you mean

Olsen ran from top of Norway to South Africa. Outrageous achievement from him and Russ
Terrible headline and you don't even put his channel in the video description!
There is NO WAY a briton ran the length of Africa and doesn't have a sunburn on his face
Wonder what running shoes he wore
Hoka gave him something like thirty pairs of shoes. It a real testament to the quality of the quality of those shoes that he didn’t suffer from any major injuries throughout the journey.
Hoka speedgoat
Kate looks happy since the pay off from her husband
Terrible headline, diminishes his accomplishment by implicating someone else has already done it. That terrified of potential backlash in case someone else has done something similar? Give the man his flowers and change the title you cowards.
First person!!!
First ENGLISHMAN. Get it right.
I can do that easy
First Person…
give the lad a break hes only just finished
first person*
First Brit???
disgraceful title
Jogging does not make you hard. The hard people went to work while he did what he wanted for a year.
What he did is harder than you working all your life
He was closely followed by 250 economic migrants.
Have a day off
Shame on you Good Morning Britain
Why you melt?

...and here comes the cash-in.

I'd want a cash-in after running 16,000 km in one go lad
Unlike most news outlets, they at least followed his mission for a while. And checked up/reported on his run during various points of his journey
