Why run on four limbs when you can run faster with two legs?

Canadian woman unofficially sets world record running on all fours

Aug. 10 (UPI) -- A Canadian woman unofficially set a Guinness World Record when she completed a 100-meter run in 22.99 seconds -- while running on all fours.

Julie McCann, 38, of Vernon, British Columbia, ran on her hands and feet at the Greater Vernon Athletics Park on Monday and finished well under the 25-second goal mandated by Guinness World Records.

McCann, who has been running on all fours since she was 3 years old, said she was inspired to pick up her hobby again and attempt to set the world record in the women's category after reading about Kenichi Ito of Japan, who set the men's version of the record at 15.71 seconds in November 2015.

"I just gave birth to my third child, my little girl, and I thought this would give me the motivation to get into being active again. More than anything else, I want to prove to myself that I can do it. I could do it in my 20s but could I still do it in my 30s?" McCann told the Vernon Morning Star.

McCann said video and witness reports from her record attempt are being submitted to Guinness World Records for official recognition.

Most dogs run faster than most humans over 100m. This dog is cute 😁

Good, I like a woman that likes to do it doggy style. 😁

It is kinda dumb ppl do it cos there is some kind of record for it.

It is not effective for human to run on fours. Cant even see where you are going.

Not fair leh!!
The dog only joined in the race at the last leg!
And it wanted to steal the limelight!
But the dog is very adorable though. :)

Some fitness enthusiasts do bear crawl for fitness. But this is another level...

Bear crawl not easy. Almost every muscle activated. Will tremble if hold the position on a single leg.

the acceleration is amazing. and it is just a normal house dog, probably untrained.

cannot imagine the acceleration if it is a trained border collie, a greyhound, a whippet, a trained Alsatian police dog sprinting after you.

It is good exercise for body core. If want to see 6-pack abs, try the crawl ... but in SG we are lacking space at our homes to do it effectively unless you have a treadmill. Do it outside will attract weird stares  It is surprisingly strenuous for something that looks so easy.

Last time during POW training, the "communists" made us do all sort of animal PT cross football fields. Leopard, elephant, bear, inchworm and etc.. if it is nice, the communists won't make us do it.
