This information is part of a Beginners Guide to Ultramarathon Running Masterclass intended to optimize long distance running, which costs $1,200, so pay attention CLOSELY:
The Young Shuffle is a special running technique made famous when the a 61-year-old farmer named Cliff Young used it to win a 544-mile ultramarathon wearing rubber work-boots.
In terms of movement and biological energy, Shuffle is the most efficient way to run an ultramarathon.
I’m James Pieratt, one of the world's top hybrid athletes, and today I’m going to tell you why the Shuffle is so powerful and teach you how you can use the shuffle to GREATLY increase your distance as a runner. And be sure to stick around until the end to hear learn how I tested this technique by using it to run a 500-mile trail ultramarathon.
Build to a smooth pace, your foot rolling through each small step in a flowing stride. Don’t load up too much on your calf or knee and be sure not to bounce too much. This wastes energy and fatigue local muscles unnecessarily. Instead focus on creating a flowing stride with a harmonious rhythm between your steps and breathing. While the Young Shuffle is technically slower than other running styles, it is also much more efficient and therefore allows you to go a lot further without stopping. This can give you a big advantage against conventional runners over ultramarathon distances.
Control your tension. The Young Shuffle is the most efficient way to run, but clinching your muscles, your hands or your jaw is a sign of tension that will drain your battery much sooner. So, keep a smooth, flowing disposition to your body and release any tension wherever you find it.
In addition to being the most energy efficient way to run, the Shuffle is also an excellent way to run over rugged ground and steep terrain, where a long, athletic stride will regularly falter or leave a runner vulnerable to injury. It can also be a great technique for runners with a history of joint injuries, as the Shuffle is smoother and involves less impact than other forms of running.
One drill you can do to teach yourself how to properly do the Cliff Young Shuffle is to find a very slight downward slope to practice on. Don’t worry about your pace and don’t over-analyze every small detail. Just let your body discover the motion using the cues we’ve talked about create a smooth stride with small rolling steps, sync your breathing with your steps, control your tension and let it flow naturally, using the subtle decline to help your body find its most efficient stride.
I used the Young Shuffle to run a 500-mile Ultramarathon on the Pacific Crest Trail, with more elevation gain than I had climbed Mt. Everest twice, and it remains my favorite running technique for my wilderness ultramarathons. If you want to hear more about that, be sure to check out my video Thug Life: The Final Chapter, which covers the whole event from start to finish.

That looks like what I would consider normal relaxed jogging to me? Is that why I always found it easy and could run for kilometers in plain Norwegian army boots? Or is there something I am missing? I'm watching this now because I am trying to recover (no, probably not because of my running style but because of (small) motorcycle accident on ice).

Cliffy Young was a true blue bloody Aussie legend from my home state of Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 Cliffy used to chase sheep up and down steep hills of his family farm - this just came to him naturally & he used to run Everywhere in gumboots!! The organisers laughed at a 61 y.o man fronting to run a marathon ; 2.5 days in as he quickly passed other runners they were not laughing at Cliffy they were applauding him!! He smashed records and belief about what was possible. He sadly died of cancer 20 years after that great marathon win. RIP CLIFFY YOUNG!!

@AncoraImparoPiper 14 дней назад

I was a kid runner then and I remember him suddenly appearing on the news. I was awed. I remember Cliffy every time I do my long run and thinking of him improves my technique instantly and I feel energised again. Cliffy is a legend among us Aussie runners.

When you run bare feet you naturally do that shuffle. When you watch persistence hunters they shuffle more than they jog. Awesome breakdown and tips!

@DaddyVet3D 5 месяцев назад

I didn’t know that this was an official thing but I figured this out on accident when I was in the army doing rock marches. Everyone wanted me to do quick bursts of speed and then slow down to right above the walking pace and keep doing that over and over for the whole 12 miles. I tried that a few times but found if I kept the slower “shuffle” speed the whole time I didn’t feel as drained and exhausted. Worked perfectly.

@vtodaf4298 7 месяцев назад

I just want to point out that while I understand what you meant, a ‘lope’ is a long, bounding stride and cannot be ‘short’ by definition.

@TX-OaksRnr 17 дней назад

To figure out the technique just take your shoes off and “shuffle” on smooth concrete. You’ll naturally find the swing and landing that protects and feels the best. Go very very painfully slow and you’ll feel it. Been running this way for over 18 years now and at 57 and over 25k miles I have no joint pain. Slow and easy. I haven’t won any Ultras but I’ve finished them and felt great afterwards.

@hendsch1 3 месяца назад

Nice tips! I did the exact same thing today. Saw it in a BBC Documentary about running. As hunter/gatherer back in the days, we only injured the animals and then ran after them in a light pace till the poor animal dropped dead in the sun. Thats why we lost our body hair they say.

@JohnDhar 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video. I believe it comes naturally if one trains on uneven ground or on hills or mountains. Where I grew up every one run this way. At school, at age of 11, we used on a weekly basis to jog 4km into the forest on bottom of mountains. Keeping the long steps for the final sprint where it was flat

@CraigDesmarais 7 месяцев назад

How should the tempo of our breath follow our steps? Inhale for 3 steps, exhale for 3 steps?

@umaikakudo 5 месяцев назад

Three steps is for going fast at aerobic threshold and above. Five steps is better for long endurance low aerobic zone pace. Keep in mind you want a quick turnover cadence of around 180 footfalls a minute. Short, quick, and springy is better than long, slow, and sticky strides. Always do odd numbers so the force is alternated between sides. Always breathe through your nose for aerobic activity. It preconditions the air so there is less temperature shock to your bronchial tubes and you lose significantly less moisture reducing the amount of water intake needed in dry (hot or cold) conditions.

@SOLowBRead 6 месяцев назад

I taught myself to sync my steps with a my breath with a song stuck in my head. Imagine a hoo hoo haw or whatever works for you with my steps with my song even with the swing of my arms. All in sync. Almost hypnotizing myself all 4 together.

@umaikakudo 5 месяцев назад

For barefoot all you have to do is figure out how to run on pavement with naked feet as fast as you are able to with shoes. Do it wrong and you'll get blisters in less than a mile. Do it right and you'll be able to run efficienctly for any ultramarathon distance. The other drill that teaches you to use your glutes and not your quads is stair climbs of 5 stories or more. Once you figure out how to climb stairs without getting any fatigue or burn in your quads because you are using your glutes you'll be able to translate that to running, particularly trail running up steep, long climbs.

I agree with what you say about being an efficient way to move over long distance. But you probably need to get your facts correct when you say Cliffy young won the Sydney to Melbourne ultra in gum boots when he clearly did not. He wore running trainers in the race but wore gum boots running around his fields at work.
