Im a bit bummed for how little credit his amazing team has been given on all the media sessions

[byFusKy]

He misspoke he meant he's raised over £870, 000 for charity not £170, 000.

Russ undersells himself so much! This guy is the true definition of grit and determination, pushed through every challenge and injury he faced with pure class!

[dango]

Love that they included a clip of Gus running behind him with a machete in hand

[wentale]

what's next 'icecream'! Such a down to earth and I'm so glad to be able to follow this journey over the last year.

[KALA.]

Shame that his adventure on YouTube wasn’t given this much attention - honestly the best 80 part series on the internet 😂

[MCFCity]

Absolute legend. I'm glad I went to Tunisia to run the last 42km with him. What an honour!

[midnightoverthinkersclub]

Amazing. What a legend... Followed it on Youtube from day 1. Well done Russ and your amazing team (all played a huge part in it!!). Congrats!

[MWProducer]

Can he be 2024 sports personality of the year …. YES

[elijahheyes]

Wow. He should have raised £170 million. This should have been more publicised for the last year. First I heard was on Radio 2 last week.

[Myhandle]

The greatest endurance a human has ever completed. Well done that English man

[DeqzNW]

Russ Cook aka Hardest Geezer aka The Ginger Jesus aka Ten Toes & Tarmac. Absolute legend!

[factgrab]

the hardest geezer? more like the humblest geezer

[medyassenoukil]

Am just admirative... A real Man with a big M

[gilbogabbins]

I've watched his channel from the start and never felt like starting to run, but something about this interview has inspired me. Can't quite put my finger on why 😂🤔

[ntndxmf]

What an amazing achievement, fabulous, I wished I’d known about it before, where’s my algorithm for that YouTube

[johncopeland]

Hardest Geezer ! This dude was clean shaved this morning ....

[tomhudson]

I can’t even run to the shop let alone 16 countries

[Casperr]

Such a modest and humble and real person this HG guy is, after achieving the impossible. Well gone mate !

[tbd-]

Well now we can't say Gingers never did anything
