Mind over Miles: A Story of Endurance Running, Overcoming Obstacles and Finding Inner Peace by Hardest Geezer, Russ Cook, is not just a book; it’s a testament to the indomitable human spirit. This captivating narrative chronicles the extraordinary journey of the first person to run the length of Africa—10,000 miles across 16 countries in just 352 days.
Discover the grit and determination that propelled Russ through harsh desert sandstorms, lush rainforests, and daunting mountain ranges. Each mile he conquered was not just a test of endurance but a battle against personal demons and life’s adversities. With no less than 386 marathons under his belt, Russ faced attempted kidnappings and an armed robbery, yet never wavered in his resolve. His story is a powerful reminder that life’s struggles are inevitable, but how we choose to face them defines us.
Awarded for its compelling storytelling, Mind over Miles is more than a memoir; it’s a guide to finding inner peace through the power of endurance. With each page, readers are encouraged to embrace their struggles and find strength in their choices. This is a must-read for anyone seeking inspiration to conquer their own life challenges.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
