The short video of him crunning through Melbourne that he posted on Facebook makes the activity look more like a spoof than a serious workout, but it seems to have inspired others to take up running on all fours as well. McCarthy only went public with crunning five weeks, but it has been getting quite a lot of attention online and he claims there is now a steadily-growing movement in Australia.

“麦卡锡在脸谱上上传了他以“酷跑”方式穿行整个墨尔本的视频，但视频让人觉得更像是恶搞而不是健身，不过还是吸引了一些人跟风，采取他的办法锻炼。麦卡锡以“酷跑”走红才五个星期，但在网上已经得到了一定的关注，据麦卡锡表示，目前澳大利亚用“酷跑”健身的人数正在逐渐增加。

But is crunning a better fitness activity than jogging or running? It would appear so, as McCarthy has been saying in interviews that crunning is a more complete workout because it includes the upper body as well. “It really works your thighs and shoulders at the same time,” he said, adding that he believes it burns more calories as well.

但是，“酷跑”真的比慢跑或者长跑更适合健身吗？麦卡锡在采访中表示，时间会证明“酷跑”是一个更加全面的健身方式，理由是“酷跑”也锻炼了身体的上半部分。“‘酷跑’同时活动了你的大腿和肩膀”，他说，之后又说他相信“酷跑”能够燃烧更多的卡路里。
