Good job, major respect to this guy. You met him after he'd already done 300? days at it, phenomenal! Jay wouldn't have been up for this one I'm sure!
9:26 what song is this I’ve been trying the find the track ID for like a year 🥲 please someone
9:16 uncalled for joke right there😂, Just hope Oscar doesn't watch this video.
@@fka713 the wave - superlative
For anyone wondering song at 8:00 is ,,Take it to the top" by ofrin
1:45 You just legit shook hands with somebody who just got done handling themselves while pissing. Good show.
He knew he was gonna drink from his boots. Whats a little rebound shake?
Its called the brotherhood shake
@@ZacAlsop hahaha
watch 18:41 now
@@ddubz6356 Twisted, right? lol
Dude, Russ Cook is an absolute BEAST. I've been following him on instagram and the guy has been kidnapped, pissed blood MULTIPLE TIMES and in a bad day he runs a whole fucking marathon. Pure dedication.
He also supports the genocide in Palestine
HE GOT KIDNAPPED? AND HES STILL RUNNING? GOD DAMN
Dude has converted his entire body into a long distance running machine
WAIT CONTEXT ON THE KIDNAPPING
Cook X Goggins content
Only thing more impressive than your effort is the number of ginger related names you came with up for him
Zac did an insta story asking for submissions of ideas for ginger nicknames
Bro could have just bought roller blades and go faster while spending a quarter of the price
Was thinking the exact same thing.
Gonna be fucked for 40km though, especially for someone who's never used rollerblades, and the gravel sections would've just made him hurt himself
This is about walking and running..you can't run or walk on skates as fast as this
@@abc-qj7ve but 4:39
@@アキコ2003 If that's your take, then fine. For me, I thought it was about the wheels on his shoes that were rolling... somewhat like the wheels on roller blades.
It's almost like having a 2nd pair of expensive shoes would have been essential to this plan 🤔
I thought that 😂
And extra batteries.
4 pairs
I haven’t got the facilities for that big man
@@Agent_Zoey_Morgan I can bet with a lot of confidence that him saying big man was not an attack but okay play the victim card in a youtube commend section (they deleted their comment being pressed about "big man")
15:05
This feels like an absolute anime moment. Russ feeling like winning yet cautious, and then there's Zac that literally is praying for the gods to have a miracle.
As a physiotherapist i can tell you that the improvised flossing at 11:14 was good, but I physically cringed and hurt at the kangoroo shoes part, people should not wear that even as a joke. If they discovered them during the world war, the nations would just drop them from a helicopter on the enemy territory to weaken their knees when people try them out
Man, I'm right there with you... That fucking _hurt_ to watch...
_And then he ran with them in a field with high grass_
@@GoldenArbiter01 yes...high grass and uneven ground😅 they're dangerous enough on flat surfaces, but i'm glad he realized quick and stopped using them
@@Andrei-nx3pd It's been a long time since I physically curled in on myself in (pre-emptive) sympathetic pain, lol
What do you say about his feet at 3:36? Looks like his shoes are too thin (like most modern shoes, sadly) and have moulded his feet into their shape.
@@harrasikayeah, his form is really bad probably because of his shoes, and that's probably what hurt his knees so much :(
This feeds my Hardest Geezer addiction very well.
The "shoot a bathroom door" line was utterly criminal 😂😂
It was OP hahahah
beware of the toaster!
brutal . I wonder how many people got that haha. I was stunned .loved it
I have no idea what you’re talking about, I’m innocent.
I don't get it, could someone explain?
I was HOWLING at you running in those Kangaroo shoes 😭 Gold comedy since it wasn’t even intended to be comedy
worst experience of my life
Add cartoon sound effects
@@ZacAlsop i honestly think testing those weird shoes, lowered your chance of winning by at least 20%, because you did got hurt in those minutes you just didn't realize probably.
When legs use different muscles than normal they go under stress, so what you did there, was shortening your resiliance and stamina xD
ive trained for 15 years and rarely run a marathon. 1 a day. what a mad lad. the fact you put alot of miles in and dont run is also impressive.
I've run for 15 months and I was proud of myself for running 4.5km today (my record is 5.8k)...
One thing I've heard is basically once you get over 2km or like 15 minutes, most of it is just mind over matter.
What is impressive about a pair of skates ? he was using skates, he as well be using a bicycle and still make a lot of miles, you can not compare the running vs skating.
@@machematixI have only been running for 5 weeks and it is definitely a mental thing.
@@MrSqurk Going for PRs never ceases to be a mental thing, but make sure to get enough easy miles in once you can run fast enough to run slow as well. Going on a slow run still requires discipline, but you will only sustain that discipline if you enjoy running in the first place. Other than that, running is, first and foremost, a highly relative thing regarding any numbers such as distance, pace, heart rate, VO2max, size, age or bodyweight. For some 1 mile is easy, for others a slow half marathon is easy (I have arrived at that point, but I didn't start there). You can always be proud if you were able to improve.
I used to break it up and do 4 10k runs in a day.
That makes it much more manageable.
Planned to have different shoes instead of having multiple batteries...first thing that comes to mind is the Omniman meme "think Mark! THINK!" 😂
tbf, I would've expected them to stop working after the first gravel road
Russ is a madlad. Congrats for him, for the running, and you for the fun! :D
1:50 Sure doesn't look like he washed those hands.
Only 🐈’s complain
@@kikoy08 bro doesn't believe in hygiene 💀
I don't see him piss on his hands.
"pissed on his pot of gold" is a fucking great line XD
This is the equivalent of Sonic racing Shadow. One uses pure speed and running and the other has special shoes and other stuff.
This is Zac's quality content: cheaty, wholesome and unique
I'm already tired of companies throwing "AI" marketing into absolutely everything
And this is just the beginning my friend. All marketing companies going full in on AI to replace employees. Next 12 months I predict graphic design will be a job if the past.
@@tdg6372 only the mediocre need fear ai. If someone's competent at what they do, the ai won't be able to keep up
@@tdg6372Heard the same 30 plus years ago. Stop spreading nonsense
@@jaredfritsch6833more like none talented morons hoping ai would do everything for them for their lack of skills, intelligent, and dedication. Those kind of people will never get what they are looking for unless they decided to stop being loser and lazy.
@toututu2993 It's already happening though. At a rapid pace. Plenty of stories of people who have been laid off due to AI. Don't have to look far. Companies training AI on their employees data, so actually the more competent you are, the better its trained.
This is strangely suspenseful and motivational… what a great sports film
Hope this makes the Hardest Geezer doc
I hope this race makes the hardest geezer documentary
@@ZacAlsop alright Zac we heard you the first time mate
I am extremely hopeful that this bout between friends will make the inevitable award winning documentary made about this ginger man
@@ZacAlsop Say it don’t spray it Zac come on now mate
14:05 “now concerned i pissed on his pot of gold” 💀
i bet alot of people dont get the "to shoot a bathroom door" referrence lol.. nice one
it was savage
Legit...spit take on that..😂
I didn't, could someone clarify?
@@tttiiaa Oscar Pistorius, known for wearing that type of running shoe.. also known for shooting through his bathroom door and killing his wife.
Oh gosh... Yeah that was... Unexpected. 😅
This man comes up with the most ingenious genus ideas
the shoe's are not his idea.
@@budgetking2591the shoe's what?
The thumbnail and the use of a wheels in a run was made by Willne First. So not a genius idea.
Ingenious and genius mean the same thing
Zac having the charged shoes near the end made me think Toy Story with the rocket strapped to Woody 😂
@9:25 "sudden inclination to shoot a bathroom door" , hahaha....oh god thats dark. RIP to that unfortunate woman
Thank God I'm not the only one that got it
Hugely inspirational. I have 2 ginger runners in my family and they will love this when they get home from school. Great stuff lads and much peace and love from the land of the Aussie! Cheers - Dave
Russ the most trusty Geezer never going out of battery
Dude ain't afraid to shake the hand of a man who just urinated and didnt wash his hands. Kudos bro! 😂
I mean, usually you don't piss on your hands while you pee, so it should be clean mate
@@SenatorAriare u white?
That first pair of shoes is really cool, it's like roller blading without needing roller blading skills. I'm just a bit disappointed that it runs on batteries, I was hoping it would get power from the walking movement.
It should be able to, but you'd still need to recharge it after a while.
In order for walking to recharge them, they would have to *take* energy from your step instead of adding to it. Imagine walking on a reverse conveyor belt for an hour. It wouldn't be an efficient transfer of power so it would be a huge detriment over a long distance, not to mention the ~5 lbs added to your feet that's effectively doubled by the walking action.
@@mononaut I dont mean like that. More like regenerative braking. He mentioned going the same speed downhill, meaning the shoes are slowing him down.
@@mononaut Rolling is a lot more efficient than walking, you don't have to add energy.
@@Anonymous-sb9rr dc motors don't freely roll. They're either being driven with current or they're generating power by being spun manually.
this video was like relapsing after getting over an addiction. i so needed that.
18:44 my man is gonna visit his doctor the next day 🤣
11:07 🤣🤣😂😂 I can’t stop laughing - this deffo took a turn
✋🙂↕️
hello
Hello
Heyyy
👋
Hey buddy. ❤
"Robotic **AI** shoes"
There is zero AI about them.
Did he wash his hands before you high 5’d?
I instantly looked at the comments for that 😂💀
@@Alpharat8009sameeeee
hellll nah he didn’t
Spoiler:
After the beer at the end i think that will be his last problem 😂💩
😂literally the 1st comment I saw after that scene
I like how when Zack talks he’s breathing heavily but when Russ talks it’s normal you can tell he runs for a living 😂😂
So we not gonna talk about the camera man😂
What about him? I missed something here.
He was probably on a skateboard or something. Drove in the car at intervals of the race and got out to meet the runners.
3:05 lol the camera man still wins he's faster than both of them😂😂😂
Zac’s jokes had me dying😂😂
"Makes me want to shoot a bathroom door" had me in stitches
Great video and awesome running to the ginger ninja.
I was inspired by Russ's effort to have a look at what Yiannis Kouros did back in the day when he ran some ultramarathon races in Australia. His 1000 mile 10.5 day effort is unbelievable. His insane endurance is shown when he was finishing a full day ahead of 2nd place in the Sydney to Melbourne races 1985-1990.
If he had multiple shoes he would’ve killed this challenge
what a genuinely insane human being, all endurance runners have my total respect you guys are awesome.
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this video since I saw Russ’ video of it
This was very funny & enjoyable to watch. Thank you for the video. 👌
anyone know what the song is that plays around 12:48? 🙂
I wondered the exact same thing lol
Liquid - sweet harmony
@@jaredjosiah9089 thank you 😄
Absolutely top tier video
Top banter between the two of you 😂😝
3:53 bro just called him Ron Weasley 💀
09:16 that line was savage xDD
One of my teachers met Russ in the London marathon. He seems like a great guy.
0:10 what even is this buzzword salad that just made me lose a braincell
Which one??
@@sandwhichdestroyer12 he said a sentance that doesn't make any sense and is only there for the sake of having buzzwords
@sometf2player752 he said these are robotic ai shoes
@@sandwhichdestroyer12 yeah but the shoes have nothing to do with ai it’s like saying I have a ai toster and then it’s just a slightly more fancy toaster
@@sometf2player752 No, those shoes actually use AI and is it is one of the few cases where the AI is justified. It uses a self learning model to learn how you walk and adapt to you.
Aw maan that was so close! I was rooting for you the whole time, bro! Good job!
An Oscar Pistorious reference I did not expect. That poor bathroom door….
I know! I was surprised nobody else mentioned it
5:53 😂😂 what a great commercial 😂😂❤
16:32 was that a bloomin dead body?
That's what *I* wanna know. What is that?
Love this channel. Subscribed for the mad banter 🎉
0:37 bro is one punch man
I love the mind blowing effect the speed shoes have on the eye because of the super casual pace his legs are moving but the ground that's being covered is vast
0:01 ok, I’m going to guess that you can’t… but those shoes look like fun, but expensive but fun
He just pissed and you immediately touched his hands lol. True friend
At first I thought they store energy from your walk and the rolling making it more efficient like skates, but apparently they provide some stored electrons.
Russ truly is the hardest geezer
BIG UP RUSS!!
What if, like, the Moonwalkers were unpowered and the wheels had one-way bearings in them, so when you move them back, the wheels lock, but can roll forward fine? It would take a lot to get used to, but you'd be able to recycle energy each step to glide forward rather than have to plant your foot stationary on the ground. And to slow down, have a mechanism that raises the wheels when you curl your toes and allows braking wheels to sap momentum away as heat. Of course, it would have issues on long hills, but I think its a cool idea.
2:45 how’s the phone?
6:43 😂😂😂 I’m just gonna wait til the end. Too much funny going on to comment😂❤
Edit: now after watching the whole video, congrats to both of you natural or machine. That is one hell of a marathon. I did one myself going on a mountain bike and traveling 24 miles in 4 1/2 hours. I had went to the dispensary in the town next door to pick up a quarter. My legs were cramped even before I got home, and I had to rest and recover for about 4-5 days there after making sure I stretched each day. That way a hell of a trip though.
2:34. Run that back big bro 😭
I mean, I knew he was going to beat you from the start, but that’s your first marathon, man. You can be proud of that, even if you cheated your way through it. Now, you just have to spend the next few years in pain and you’ll get to his level, kind of. Cheers.
I did not know Russ was the guy that you went swimming pool haggling with!
Same!
I've seen that ginger fella all over the news but I had no blinking idea until now that I had seen him before in one of your videos
17:25 IS THAT A TF2 REFERENCE???!!
Running/Walking/Rollerblading/Electric Dad Sandaling. No matter how you do it, completing a Marathon is impressive
Nah the camera man casually taking the lead
0:12 props to the grandpa who is not giving up on life just yet
Im sorry zac but that police escort must have been embarassing.
why ??
@@mohetnt because a car had to follow him for hours on end whilst he was at a slow pace and then he probably had to explain to them they had to wait for him to charge shoes and the whole time they were escorting him to beat the guy who was alongside him the whole time. Not meant to be a mean comment or anything btw :)
His roller shoes are like an ultimate ability that needs to be charged in a video game.
Bro did not wash his hands after pissing...
holy shit welcome to the country
1:49 You touched his hand after he touched his dingaling?? 🤢
I love how he starts the map sounding Luke it's a Dakar recap 😂
you might also want to try putting on a dnsys x1 exoskeleton. its basically the worlds first ai exoskeleton made for consumers and shows pretty promising results towards its actual useability so far.
Russ is an absolute menace 😂
Did he get sick from the 'shoe beer'?
He just touch you with his pissed cover hand 😂😂😂
...you mean skates.
Dollar store Blippi running through Africa was definitely a spectacle.
He stole shadow the hedgehogs shoes 👞
Literally never heard or seen either of these lads before in my life but I wanted to see what these shoes were all about.. hadn't seen them before either. And now I'm @ the last ad of the video realizing I've wasted a small bit of my day looking at strangers race a marathon and the only other time I've watched more than a few seconds of any marathon ever, was in the Boston marathon bomber movie
No jet pack mate?
bro its kinda impressive how well zac did tbf
Aren't these shoes just rollerblades with batteries?
Bro never been soo happy to see rus 😅😅😅
just get a bike
just get a car
think you're so smart by saying that?
@@Professional_Haterr Bikes are cheaper, more efficient, not stupid, and more importantly, more active
@@vertigo-gc1bu It's like saying, "Just get a radio instead of guitar"
@@vertigo-gc1bu Plus he invented this for fun
The shoot the bathroom door joke was priceless
Why didn't you use just a roller blades?? lmao
I suppose blading is different to running?
who knows?
because roller blades would still be a nightmare up hill, and there is still a level of physical excertion which in that heat at that distance wouldnt help. the point of the shoes is it reduces the physical aspect which is the only advantage zac has.
Bro 12:59 had me crying 😂
Aren't these the dumbass shoes that whistle louder than an engine that everyone made fun of a year ago?
It was nice meeting you in Tunisia Zac! :)
Eating a yogurt in a car is diabolical
26.2 miles is very brutal! 😅 as a two time marathoner - i knew you werent gonna last!
