I can't wait for the last episode where it starts by him saying "I'm Russ Cook and I'm the first person ever to run the entire length of Africa"

That last scene when Russ is collapsed on the bed, just shows how intense the whole thing must be. What an absolute hero for keeping it up.

Said it wasn't possible, said he wasn't running the distance. Had next to no investment and set off without all the visas required. From an idea to the execution him and the team have defied the odds. Unbelievable series. An absolute phenom.

Sports personality of the year for me 👏🏻👏🏻

less than 2 weeks to go, I dont know what to watch after

No way I have been watching this for a year. Time flies

Seeing Russ that somehow always has the energy for a few quips and som banter literally just collapse in to bed with nothing else to say as you in the morning mate, somehow made me realise how fucking hard this thing he is doing really is. I’m not ashamed to say it brought a tear to my eye. Russ, you are a fucking monster. You make it look so easy somehow, but the depths of will power and determination it takes to do what you are doing is beyond comprehension. Complete and utterly awestruck by what you are doing. All the love. ❤️ hang in there mate!

I live in algeria and i was thinking abt u the past two days seeing the wind reach speeds i never seen before , nice timing hhhhh

Loving Jamie's descent into madness.

It was wonderful seeing my own city "Aflou" through your camera, Wonderful, good luck and if you need any help I'm always available and you're not very far from me, good luck again.

yeah here in Algeria u will get all 4 season at the same time Once you go bit North Get Ready For Forest and Snowy Montagne followed by Warm Spring like weather just more north our country is continent in it self

Bayadh, Boualem, and Aflou is actually a corridor known for strong sandstorms in that region. However, it only gets better the more you go to the north east. You're almost there!

the whole team deserve incredible praise for this

Sir Russ Cook in the making. Your strength has been of such value to me in my own tough times this past year. A true inspiration, can't commend your efforts highly enough. You're going down in history!

I am following you from Algeria. You are a great person. Good luck in your noble cause

The way Russ runs into camp and collapses into bed within 10 seconds is just so visceral. No food, water, no taking any sandy clothing off. Didn’t even take off his shoes that he just run 70k in. He’s absolutely pushing it to the limit, this is the most brutal scene in all of PA imo.

Don’t think I’ve ever witnessed anyone as totally exhausted as that final clip Russ! You’re a living, breathing (mouthfuls of sandstorms) legend. Not long left mush. Great to see Nelly surviving this ep too! 👊 Great work all of you boys. 🙌💥

The entire team are legends , and will be remembered forever - hoping they will do more projects as a team in the future as there is really no one like them out there - they are a genre of their own.

6:15 I’m dying at the captioned censor 😂

Love from Ireland, keep her lit Russ! ☘

End was raw and hit me hard. I’ve never run before and in the last year since I started watching you I’ve ran 235km. I know that’s about 3 days work for you, but to me it’s been a whole journey. The truth is I used to be anxious to even leave the house. The fact it’s such a little distance doesn’t shame me. It excites me to think about what I might be capable of. You helped me get there. Thank you!

It's genuinely nuts how watching you all makes me feel! Followed it all from the beginning. You'll all be remembered for years! Big love from Scotland ♥️

It’s like Lord of the Rings! Started kinda happy go lucky. Starts getting bad about half way through. This is the last bit in Mordor! Keep at it big man. Nearly there. Legend.

Does anyone else still mentally reinsert "PISSED BLOOD" into the intro?

Sat down with my teens watching a fellow ginger beast run Africa has to be a highlight of the evening

All these guys are highly likable. I started watching late in the series and everyone is bedraggled and seasoned. Gonna be fun to watch the beginning and seeing everyone fresh faced and energetic. Good luck on the final segment. Hamdililah!

Its actually insane to think what you've achieved.. i can't get over it.. Honestly, i once planned to drive from Cairo to Cape Town and it seemed absolutely mad to even think of doing it.. so to literally run a marathon ever day to run the length of Africa - nah.. its absolute madness, but youve made it (just about). Literally mental!

Almost embarrassed it took me this long to financially support the project - but I did!! And everyone else should too. $20 is an easy trade for a years worth of incredible videos, content and inspiration - hope to support more in the future. 🙏

Get up sausage! You're an inspiration, the lot of you. All the very best for the next fortnight. You finish on my 42nd birthday and there's an eclipse the day after; sweet!

Should add “survived Western Sahara” or something similar into the intro

Hi Russ im from Bizerte tunisia 🇹🇳 i hope i can meet you in Cap Angela Keep it up 👍 proud of you, u did it mate ✌️💪

Feel so privileged to have followed this journey

Hey Russ and Team! I’m not sure of the best way to get in contact but I am going to be cycling through Tunisia at the start of April and would love to see you through to the finish line, I’m guessing you’re doing only a little more than a week off now so hopefully the timing works out, best of luck and well fucking done, keep on the 1s and 2s 💙

To expand on the reason for breaking fast with dates, there are many and one of them is what your friend said but also from a religion standpoint it is Sunnah (something the prophet used to do) to do so, and also from a nutritional point of view dates are the fastest way to get sugar (the healthy sugar) into your blood stream so you could imagine why it's useful after fasting.

been watching since the start, not even “elite athletes” should be able to do this, but i always knew he’d make it. an insane mentality and so inspiring. love the rest of the guys too, would gladly keep watching these vlogs whatever they’re all up to next

Another great vid guys... You really make me feel like I'm there with you having shared a lot of your journey with you... I hope you are all proud of yourselves for sharing it with us all, you should be! Smash it fella's

TASH STATS (KEEPING IT REAL EVEN WHEN THE LADS GET IT WRONG HAHA) DAY AV DIFF (km) 336 45.63 +0.07 337 45.70 +0.07 338 45.79 +0.09 339 45.88 +0.09 It's hard not to second guess yourself when they give inaccurate day numbers twice in a video! Lucky I have my records and Russ gave his daily distances verbally at least!

how on earth do you only have 175k subscribers!? How have i been watching this a year!? How is it possible i'm working out/running and losing weight just because you're all so motivating!? Man i don't want this to end but i really cant wait for the final video. Thanks guys

Go Russ! Watching all these episodes with eyes wide open and rooting for you so strongly! Fantastic team and editing too, lovely job guys.

They have all wowed me each of them have been so good in their own way but Guss has just gone above and beyond with this

you're a true warrior! you keep pushing forward despite the weather. I actually thought of you when I saw the wind outside today. I kept wondering how are you gonna run through it. Best of luck for the rest of the Project! It's almost done

good luck guys and welcome to Algeria

Yeah, the weather is always weird here in Algeria. I was always wondering, from a young age, when I see the weather changes suddenly, "Is there someone above playing with the settings of the weather?"😅

Been watching you for a couple of months now wish I saw you when you first started you give so much inspiration to me

In before the last ep. So so close now. I love how progressively unhinged Russ is looking. Running through the Sahara with fucking swimming goggles/bunsen burner goggles is hilarious. He could bring out his own design as a limited drop when he's back, they will be certifiable by a world record holding ultramarathon runner haha. I've been watching from the start (I'm the pinned comment on the very 1st video of the mission!) - can I call dibs on those goggles from the IG video haha!? I will preserve this small part of history! And then sell them on Bargain Hunt in 40 years to fund my retirement 😂 How far everybody's come since that very first video. I was thinking that Russ is like one of those beetles that can lift like 27x it's body weight or some shit. Guus and Jaime weren't there from the beginning but Guus would be doing this shit anyway, I imagine that this is like a holiday for him. And look how far Stan has come, if you asked him how to change a tire 5 years ago he would've said something along the lines of "goo goo ga ga, more milk mummy." haha. But look at them all now, absolutely flying through the Sahara, what a crew. They had the audacity, they dared to do great things, and they're gonna fucking do it! Wish I could be there in Tunisia guys, all the best!!

Russ. unfortunately…we are going to need to see some videos about the trip home and adjusting to normal life, I love your work mate you have become a hugely inspirational figure in my day to day life I appreciate your authenticity and the crew’s patience even more. Adventure awaits, maybe hiking, rock climbing, hang gliding, sailing like the captain cook g

Can’t believe we are coming to a close on this series. You guys have made KZfaq history and a world record. Masterpiece. I can’t wait to rewatch the entire journey once it’s done.

Those are some crazy conditions. You can all be proud of yourselves for this project!

Just donated £20, wasn't hard and if anything deserves it, well, this has got to be it. What an extraordinary effort. Well done geezer and the team. Good luck for the remaining kilometres

Sending mega positive vibes from Australia for a safe and hassle free ending to this mammoth challenge. I have enjoyed every minute of Project Africa and whilst I am looking forward to seeing you with a daiquiri in hand I am not looking forward to it being over on You Tube ❤

What an absolute beast, love from Algeria

Oh man - that last few days looked horrific. We'd have all given up so so long ago - back in south Africa probably. The sheer stubbornness of this dude to persist is what's got him this far. you can literally smell the sea at this stage. superstar stuff!

every day , every fuckin day , this russ guy inspires me through the ether of the internet , thank you for another amazing run dude , so close, massive respect

It's always like this in Algeria sand storms that reach the Green forest north bringing All the remains of long-dead organisms of the Sahara and Phosphorus, which is essential to plant growth Then heavy rain to wash the atmosphere God making art ❤

Wow absolutely smashed the km last couple weeks

That last seen was brutal. Sending much love to you Russ. Nearly there mate.

You are all the coolest guys and russ you are just a tank, a beast, a trooper, a hero, insanity

you're so close to my hometown too bad this past week had the worst weather in months

This should be the most watched man on KZfaq. Phenomenal what he’s done. I hope his management has him on the circuit for the next 10 years.

You need to do the Barkley marathon!

Last scene made me donate instantly. Mad respect, once again

Oh mate I hope Russ is okay that was a savage return although it was also a ridiculous storm. They're always big when they do get into the desert

Smash it boy!!! I'll donate on the finish line!!!

Neeeeed to see episodes of whats going on after the trip. Russ seeing his Mrs, Jamie seeing his dog, Gus running back to south Africa, Stan watching dr who or something.

07:53 The prophet Muhammad used to break fast with dates in ramadan, muslims do the same. It also has something to do with geography because the prophet lived his whole life in the arabic peninsula which is mostly a desert. Dates are really good for health and for digestion. You like sweet Russ so you definitely gotta try them.

Good shit mate, well done for powering on. You are a beast! Donate to this mans charity

I love that Gus is basically just on a long holiday doing this.

What an absolute chad! Almost there, final push. You got this Russ!💪

it is really good how Russ's friends care for him, especially Guus.

And the hardest geezer just keeps on getting harder. 💪 Well done Russ and team.

What an outrageous achievement to be in the triple digits left. Also that last shot with Russ collapsing into bed, this last few months of it must have been absolutely brutal. Russ is the real deal

They don't know me son !

Goes to show how unbelievably mentally strong Russ is. I think anyone else would feel the way Russ feels at the end of this episode, every damn night, yet he has the ability to banter, stay positive, and keep grinding no matter what. Legend

This series has been an absolute rollercoaster 🔥

Good Luck man i hope you make it safe and sound that was hard to watch towards the end, one very battered man! Nearly there bud!❤

It's crazy how his "only 1000km left to go," would be many other people's impossible goal.

What an amazing adventure you've documented for us, congrats on getting this far and cheers to the home stretch!

Would love to see a super cut or few summary episodes at the end that chart all the highlights ❤

Good for you man what an adventure.

Glad to hear the ferocious ones and twos are being banged out! Wish I could meet you at the finish but I can’t take the time to travel halfway around the globe.

Proper felt for you at the end there that looked f..king brutal.

honestly, Gus joining the team has made this series for me - everyone's been great

Proud of you Russ and team!

Unreal scenes. Next level graft. ❤

I went back and watched a few old episodes from the first few weeks. It is heartbreaking, but very real, how the challenges of the journey have affected the team, especially Russ and Stan. Then again, Guus is still just Guus. You are mighty men and you have left your mark on the biggest of all continents. I'm with the other commenters, though - I will hate to see it end.

Phenomenal work mate

Wooow, you are a beast my friend. I can't even fathom how you do that day in day out, whatever the mother nature throws at you. Well done !!!

Just started watching 2 weeks ago.. been playing it everywhere I go. Now I’m sad to finish…

Last scene hit hard!! Keep it going Russ almost there !!

I’m going to miss watching you guys being together in videos!

Wow it must feel insane being this close. Cannot believe the journey despite watching every episode

You are an unbelievable man and honestly I might cry at the final episode when you say I'm russ cook and I'm the first person ever to run the full length of Africa, genuinely fair play to you mate

How has he only raised 270k, feels like this effort deserves millions

One of the best episodes yet..This has been one monumental achievement. Absolute dedication. 👌

1 minute ago from the legend himself! Such an inspiration Russ, thank you

Champion you are! Overcome you will! Powerful is your ferocity! The tarmac or path, or where there are no paths, the ground beneath your feet doesn't stand a chance!

Cant wait to hear all the stories when you finish this journey! You're an inspiration

Wow that last scene really shows how brutal this is, running so much, almost there Russ🎉🎉🎉

Just like say thank you i put your video on before bed me and my boy blue he labsky he loves watching you soon as sees hears you he runs gets trddys blanket and he watchs your videos all tho with wiggle of his tail so thank you keep going doing amazing still cant belive almost done it wish this videos didn't end ❤

Come on Russ, theres plenty left n the locker to smash up that desert once and for all. so much respect for your determination, strength and positivity. We're rootin for ya. Sir Russ ❤
