In 1983, a 61-year-old Australian farmer named Cliff Young entered the world’s toughest ultramarathon—a 544-mile race from Sydney to Melbourne. While other runners wore advanced gear, Cliff showed up in overalls and work boots. Instead of sprinting and resting, he used his steady “shuffle,” a pace he had perfected while chasing sheep for days on his farm. Unlike his competitors, Cliff didn’t stop to sleep—he just kept moving. After more than five grueling days, he stunned the world by crossing t
