“Well yeah death would end the trip to be fair” 😂
Tom🫡
I knew this would pique your interest Tom ;)
Tom we love you!!!
Straight line through Africa 😂
are we recording?
Everyone watching this should know that we are all currently watching one of the best series ever posted on RUclips. How this channel still has less than 100k is a joke
Coz unfortunately not many people give a fuck about running. If some over paid football player made a Chanel and said running the length of a football pitch that one episode would probably get more views then this whole series will. Sad but true
Russell has a weak personality ...... unfortunately people get bored after first few episodes
@@pingu8666 Nope.
@@JohnyG29 Views dropping by the video. So yes.
@@pingu866699% of youtube video 'series' drop views as episodes go on, that's normal.
14 episodes in and I think the banana at 14:16 is the first healthy thing I've seen Russ put in his body
If it comes from a garage it's fuel, end of.
Exactly what I thought. I do worry a bit about his diet, but eh. Up to him.
I love how much Nessi’s settling in
Sharp! Sharp!
Nessy should be called the Nicest Geezer 😂 constantly helping the lads out
Imagine the disease’s face when it realises it’s infected the hardest geezer before it gets knocked out by a right hook to the jaw 😂
If survives that, it's gonna get the ferocious 1️⃣' and 2️⃣'s
Rhabdo isn't a disease or infection, it's when the muscle breakdown and can lead to kidney failure and heart attacks
That intro was 🤌 Love the edit and extra work that's gone into that
I nearly died from Rhabdo during a half marathon, kidney failed, had a fever of 104, organs were shutting down, had to have an emergency ice bath to cool me down, spent 2 days in resuss. Would've died if I wasn't running an official half marathon with medical team, be careful, it's not a joke.
how did this happen? were you untrained or in bad health? seems like a half marathon is a small distance to give you rhabdo?
@@pauricgrant8700 Was a moron and decided to run it at my 5k PB pace, refused to stop, it was also super hot and humid. Had also run a 5k PB the day before which meant I was super fatigued. I collapsed 400m before the finish line. Don't remember running the last couple of miles, couldn't understand English when I woke up, was horrendous.
But you’re not the hardest geeza mate
Love the spirit tho, running 21k at 5k pb pace. Unlucky but keep the fire burnin, sounds like hard geezer stuff right there
@@Tommy24552 weak ass
The edits/intro are much appreciated, really give a sense of scale and progress, feel like the production value has skyrocketed. Saw the comments last time and so nice you read them/took them on board. I would love more long slow sweeping drone shots of the landscape set to banging tunes though! Keep up the great work boys.
The advice regarding Rhabdo is to drink caffeine-free and low sugar drinks, don't think those energy drinks are doing Russ much favours ngl
Honestly cutting out energy drinks is just a good idea flat out in all aspects of health and life
Tbf the advice is also to not exert yourself in hot conditions, which would be difficult here
Yep. Time to get serious. Absolutely mad he's doing this on red bull and doritos.
@@slingshotvibe source... it's common sense
@@ric112i was thinking the same, some fruit smothies would be much more ideal for Russ, maybe add some sugar for taste 😂
Would be cool to see atimelapse of a full 20k shift, just to get an idea of the distance he actually covers
Great idea
love the new intro! maps really help put this journey in perspective
LOVE seeing more Nessy!
Gents, you need a better support regiment. We had guys get rhabdo all the time in the Marines. All Russ needs is a fat IV and some nutrient rich food. This isn’t just a one time deal either. You need to keep giving him IV’s for the rest of the trip. He will be fighting rhabdo the entire time he is out there if he doesn’t get enough fluids and nutrients.
He doesn't have rhabdo apparently.
@@JohnyG29 that’s very surprising and suspicious. He’s on the edge of it anyway if that’s true. There’s only so many ultras you can run consecutively without good recovery before rhabdo catches up with you.
Sounds like very sensible informed advice.
Thing is…. Finding clean needles… clean medical equipment is sketchy. He could potentially get HIV, or any other disease unfortunately.
@@jokomo2833lmao wtf are you talking. Don't talk about stuff you don't know
I think the pissing blood, if nothing else, was/is the first real sign that you have to take recovery seriously. That doesn't mean rest days necessarily but it might mean not doing massive days of running on no food and water for 3 days prior, for example! Take care man, need to see you finish this!
I'm not a doctor but my entire family have studied medicine and I'd hazard a guess that he's extremely dehydrated and that can cause a UTI and/or kidney infection/issues but I haven't even got to that bit of the vid yet
First run, then Taco.
Top tier editing - definitely helps to put the distance into perspective with the map at the start. Bang bang
hey would be intresting to see a bit more about the planning, the daily life like what are you cooking, grocery shopping etc. maybe a van tour?
or „what ross eats in 1 day“ . stuff like that, to mix up the videos which can get repetitive
Yess totally agree!! Would love to see behind the scenes and logistics
hard as fuck
Gonna look back at the end and realise how much a role big Nessy played! What a bloke 🐐👊🏽
Obviously from Twitter etc we know Russ is fine now, I wonder if the big 2L bottle of red Fanta had something to do with it, drinks about 1L from 14:09-14:35 😂
I keep up to date on strava
For a man who runs a marathon per day, he has a absolutely horrible diet.
The lack of views this series is getting is f*cking criminal!? One of the best series on RUclips and deserves so much more love and recognition! Keep it up boys!!! ❤️
That map at the start showing how much you done is amazing!
geezer please don't kill yourself for content. it's a pretty epic way to go out tbf but it's not even close to actually running the length of africa and surviving that. so please listen to the boys a bit and especially listen to what the doc tells you even if you absolutely hate it. peace guys keep it up 🏃♂️💨
Finally caught up all the episodes and am on the newest one. Top content and I am certain the 500k subs are near!
Pedantry corner: Scientist here with an absolutely minuscule remark about measurements. Numbers are easier to read with some form of separation between 1000s and when there is space between the number and the unit. Or in short, have a look : 10000km --> 10.000km --> 10.000 km (or 10 000 km)
Retard here with absolutely minuscule remark about measurements. Numbers are hard to read.
Extra pedantry discussion in the pedantry corner: different countries have different thousand separators as well as different decimal separators. Yes, a lot of people from those countries speak English, so this is not just US vs UK discussion. So far from my experience, the only thousands separator that won't make somebody somewhere completely misread your number is "space". Strongly recommend skipping all of those 10.000 and 10,000 and going straight to 10 000.
Just measure in AU (astronomical units) - today he’s run less than 1, easy.
Such a fraud 😂😂 Can't believe you'd ever consider anything else than 1*10^7m smh my head 😤
@@darkmann12Except it can be more simply written as 10^7 and mean the same number.
This channel needs to blow up, if I had any social media clout I’d be using it to promote this channel.
Truly deserved !
I was RN and worked in 56c in the gulf and got 2nd degree burns off the sun ffs haha. Mate, redheads are not meant for that heat. Give me windy, wet forests and snow any day.
Pissing blood isn't the best lad is it. I do understand the f**k that, not quitting attitude as that was me when I was younger, but some stuff is just out of our control. Glad you went to the doc. Will be waiting for the next ep drop. Good luck!
Spoiler alert (you seem worried) - he hasn't pissed blood for weeks and tested negative for Rhabdo ❤
@@calumvaughan8690 Yeah, although blood in piss isn't good, Rhabdomyolysis would just be brown piss and not blood.
@@ishmyboyhe tested negative on all tests though, the dude is fine
@@calumvaughan8690 Glad to hear it! He seems like a top fella! Unreal effort this.
If Netflix or someone don’t get hold of this they are mad
Proud to have been a subscriber since Episode 2 of this series
You need what cyclists eat,the high calorie gels...You are not getting enough nutrition lad,or water electrolights...I hope people see this and sponcer you with some packages of these gels...
@DrinkLMNT should sponsor him!
I'm here for Stan's deadpan Britishness when talking about Russ's challenges 😂 "That's less than ideal" goes straight to number 1
Awesome video, that intro was *chefs kiss*
Top work lads 👍
I really love to see when a new video is out. You guys (all of you) motivate me so much. Just wanted to let put it out there in case this means a lot to you. Keep it up champs, always stay positive!❤
I hope you meet Noraly (Itchy Boots) coming the other way!
well done stan! hope the rest of the vids look like this one, the quality of the edit was perfect in this one
hope you finish this journey all safe and with no harm, becuase then you will truly show the power of the human mind and grit, you are a great person man russ. (big up to the team ofc, without you guys this wouldnt be possible).
Russ is the only person who would laugh when told they could die
I love the improvements on the intro!
Full respect bro mad man mission hopefully nessi does the whole trip n be good see him on the plane back aswell for the holiday he will need bang bang on the ones and twos
Love Nessie's energy and the edits in this vid!
Oh shit, didn't realise just how inhospitable it was until you showed the temperature, fucking hell
Best series I've ever been following! You can do it mate, mental to see a (yet) underappreciated part of history
The best thing happening right now is this series!! Don't die please
Almost 90k subs now!
You deserve wayyy more mate.
Love the intro!
Incredible effort on the charity fundraiser so far but looking forward to the total being absolutely smashed as word of Russ's effort spreads! Also great to read the updates on the charity webpage, was a nice surprise to see that!
i like the new style of intro
YES! That progress at the beginning is crucial. Good luck, feel better👊
I’ve been watching this since day 1, keep up them ones and twos bro such an inspiration to me no matter the outcome of this trip ur an utter tank much love
0:26
Absolutely loving this series man. Supporting you from the cape to the tip 🔥
Wow! Videos keeps getting better and better. Like how you adapt based on the feedback you get. Bravo!
Every time I watch an episode it just gets me in the right mood to go out and stomp away
I wish there were some way for you guys to distribute merch, I’d buy some in a heartbeat.
Been binging this over the last week and just heard the news you have crossed the finish line. Inspired doesn't even begin to describe it, what an outstanding achievement Russ, well done and thank you.
Russ ur subs will be in the millions by the end of this journey. And u deserve it buddy 💪🏃💪🏃💪🏃💪YEOOOOO HARDEST GEEZER
This non sweating thing is a major bonus!! I ran for less than half an hour in 24 degree UK heat…dripping mate!
Great editing - what a team of people - massive inspiration - stay healthy boys
This is the best thing I've ever seen in my life
Best video so far the editing improves so much every episode
Banged out 60km. Pure Ballas. Your a absolute inspiration. Please can we get another 1's&2's warcry in the next sensational video. With you Russ, keep running!
man the production quality keeps going up
Love this intro!!!
Amazing as usual , videos always inspiring me , keep up the positive vibes ❤ 🐐’s
I've been subbed to you since the happy hour podcast. Legend!
Massive respect for all of you!!! Great work!!!
That's a man who is seriously content inside his own head. Could you imagine the thoughts most would be battling with
You guys are inspirational and entertaining. I feel the need to start a big challenge, but also to laugh my ass off. I am loving this. Stay safe!
Amazing edit on this one Stan!
This is such a good series. It needs more views 😅
drum and bass is the best running music, love the editing
Editing is top notch once again 👏👏
kara and nates video brought me here and i been binging ever since! russ is insanely inspiring
Genuinely criminal how the views of this series are plateauing at around 100k. Criminal. The algo f@kin hates great content.
GREAT INTRO! huuge ups to the editing crew
If you stay this sick, actually just stop and have a rest, I know you have a plan you want to stick to and a timeline that you’ve already planned out but genuinely, it’s way better for you rest and focus on getting better than it is to finish the challenge by your initial goal.
I’m not sure if it’s money, your visa/passport or just sheer determination that’s driving you to keep pushing so hard but trust me, money won’t be a problem, these videos are amazing and they WILL blow up at some point and if shit really hits the fan, you’ve got 90000 of us that’ll donate you money for accommodation, medical bills, food, flights or whatever else you need..
Just look after yourself please
Keep up the good work guys 🫡🫡🫡
Gets better every episode. Bang Bang.
This video was next level quality. Bang bang!
Top notch intro. Keep it up!
Loving the effort with the new intro
New intro is perfect mate
Great vid as always!
Another video idea to add to the teams boundless ability to chat pure shit during breaks even more:
Let Russ answer 1 question from us per vid from the comments.
Would be nice to have some sort of interaction with you guys and make it a recurring theme!
Question could come from YT comments or Instagram (latter allows it to be a bit more real-time without delay)
Keep up the stompin'
Bangbang
Ps. love the new intro format! Good to repeat it every once in a while.
Russ makes an absolute mockery of an athletes diet 😂😂
Only channel that gives me the urge to leave a comment, bang bang
a van tour would also be class!
Taken everything in your stride to a new level 🥵💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Nessi seems awesome, just had to be said haha!! Also love the new intro it will help new people who find the channel 🎉
Your doing great Russ mate! 🙂
I'm loving this journey, the only things that's missing in this series are subtitles, a lot of times i can't understand what they are saying
Love the singing. I tend to do that people think I'm nuts 😂 bare in mind it's during parkruns
i wanted to say at the start that Russ is looking a bit withdrawn like he is losing muscle mass. he really needs to eat some good food a lay off the energy drinks, those things nearly put me in hospital.
Intro was awesome!
There's not many channels on youtube whose 20 minute videos seem to go by in 5 minutes! Also thumbnail says episode 13 not 14 ;)
🔥🔥🔥 Intro!
14.40 shows another reason why he’s the hardest geezer
algo comment - keep up brother!
Let’s go lads you got this!
Rabdo kills a lot of fighters. People who push their body’s to the limit. Body starts eating itself and destroys organs.
Nessi is such a legend!
You might have to cut down on the energy drinks Russ. All those chemicals are most certainly a factor towards your ilness
