Cliff Young, an Australian potato farmer, won the 1983 Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon, a foot race of 544 miles, at age 61. He won by running through the night while the other younger runners slept. He finished 10 hours ahead of the second place finisher. He said he trained for it by chasing sheep around the hills for two or three days straight while wearing gumboots. His running style, copied by some ultramarathoners, is an energy-conserving shuffling lope they now call the Young Shuffle. Cliff Young died at age 81 in 2003.
