Cliff Young was a 61-year-old farmer who stunned the world by winning a 544-mile ultramarathon across the Australian Outback (wearing a pair of borrowed running shoes). His secret wasn’t technology or niche training: it was blue-collar work ethic, country grit, and the kind of strength only built through manual labor.

The Cliff Young Training Program distills those same principles into a structured 16-week system. Scaled for all levels of runners, it blends running and strength work to build durability, resilience, and toughness for distance. Whether your goal is a 10k, a marathon, or 100 miles, this program prepares you to endure.

What’s Inside
• Duration: 16 weeks (5 training days per week)
• Session Length:
Strength: 30–45 minutes
 Runs: 30 minutes to 8 hours depending on distance goal
• Coaching Videos: Over 100 instructional videos included
 Difficulty Levels:
-Beginner (10k–Half Marathon)
-Intermediate (Marathon–50k)
-Advanced (50 Mile–100 Mile)

Equipment Needed
• Sandbag (light + heavy recommended)
• Pull-Up Bar (or tree branch)
• Mace/Club (or sledgehammer/kettlebell halos)
• Optional: kettlebell, dumbbell, or heavy bucket

Why This Works
The program follows the same principles that made Cliff Young unstoppable: simple training, rugged conditioning, and progressive overload. Core elements include:
• The Shuffle Technique: efficient pacing that conserves energy across long distances
• Distance Progression: structured runs that steadily expand endurance capacity
• Cliffy Strength Sessions: sandbag lifts, carries, and bodyweight movements for durability
• Recovery Integration: weekly point system to ensure you come back stronger after every session


Recovery & Lifestyle Integration
Recovery is training. This plan integrates naps, mobility work, cold exposure, sauna, and breathwork — all tracked through a weekly point system. By treating recovery as part of the process, you’ll avoid breakdown and build lasting resilience.

Who It’s For
• Beginners training for their first half marathon
• Intermediate runners stepping up to marathons or 50k events
• Advanced athletes preparing for 50–100 mile ultras
• Hybrid athletes who want rugged endurance with functional strength
• Anyone inspired by Cliff Young’s story of toughness and simplicity

    Great endurance and functional strength

    I’ve run seven ultramarathons and done pretty much every type of fitness. This one was far more effective than the others I’ve tried, and simpler to follow. I really like the sandbag lifts and the young shuffle technique changed my running style completely. I can go WAY longer now that I’m not trying to power through everything. I definitely recommend this one for anyone looking for bigger miles or farmboy strength.
