    If there was a definition - which there isn't - I would say Jogging is a subset of running. Jogging would be running at a constant, low level effort.

    Alternate words for Jogging would include: Recover Run, Social Run, Run at the speed of chat, 50%-60% effort

    Your entire work out could be a jog, or you could jog as a warm up or between high intensity efforts during interval training.

    Joggernaut is a word I just made up for a jogger who knocks over everything and everyone in their path

    Joga is another word I made up to describe the meditative state which can be achieved whilst distance running


    Jogurt is a misspelling of Yogurt.

    I always though Jogging was running for exercise.

    I consider jogging to be an 11-12 minute mile pace, and running to be an 8,9, 10 minute mile pace. I think of race walking as a 12-13 minute mile pace.

    Probably a couple hundred dollars from what I can tell based off the outfits of the "runners" and "joggers" I see when I'm out biking.
    baw ha ah aha ha- that's hysterical.

    No difference. At all. Those who "jog" are running. Maybe your husband can join you on your "jog," if he thinks it's so easy. Encouragement is key to success. You're doing well.

    There is a definitive definition:

    One foot in contact with the ground at all times during the stride= walking

    Both feet leave the ground at the same time during the stride=Running

    Physiologically, there is no such thing as "jogging".

    Runsie cost close to $98 at Lululemon.

    Will that be considered a "runner" or "jogger"?

    :laugh: I loved your logic though.

    Jogging- Fast walking, slow running... This is just my definition lol.

    we call it "yogging" in the military- and it's typically associated with your speed and intent.

    One walks, or one runs. There is nothing in between.

    In the military environment walking whilst wearing fighting order and a daysac would be described as a Yomp; 5mph over rough ground like Dartmoor.

    Then what do you consider 5, 6 and 7 minute pace? Flying?

    It's all relative to the individual's pace. I may saying I'm jogging during a recovery run.

    I'd never tell anyone else that they are jogging. It's all running.

    Ever see an 8min/mi racewalker? I have, and I was running next to them.

    There's only one difference between runners and joggers. You're not going to insult a jogger by calling him a runner.

    says you- rucking is it's own thing. We always called it yogging for an easy jog.

    If you had a ruck sack- you were rucking- and nothing else.

    I still call one a run and one a yog.

    I'm completely competent in understanding that I'm technically "running" but if I tell my bestie I'm going running when I have no intention of going RUNNING- but merely shuffling/yogging- she's going to be pissed.

    In my world- there IS a difference. I honestly don't care about what any one else's world is.. you are running walking- flying- sprinting- it's a way of communicating what you're doing with someone. You have the same words or you don't. My friends know what I mean- and they did back then.

    you are free to call it whatever you like. I will continue to lable my workouts as
    walking-
    yogging-
    running-
    sprints.

    You are under no obligation to agree or like it.

    If it's just about effort, then I've been a runner since day 1, when I was running a 17+ minute mile. Yes, that's slower than most people walk, but I weighed 250 pounds, had to ice my feet and ankles after every run, eat ibuprofen like they were skittles, and take at least 2 days between runs to recover.

    I felt discouraged about it at first, and said things like, "I'm just jogging" since I was so slow and could only run for 5-10 minutes at a time.

    Then I realized that I was pushing my edges out farther and farther, just like an Olympic athlete. Yes, an elite runner can run a marathon with a sub-10 minute mile, but if she needs ice and painkillers and days of rest after her marathon, then we're doing the same workout.

    After I thought about that, I started treating myself like an athlete: eating lots of food, training hard (three 15 minute miles is training hard when you're 200+ pounds), using recovery therapies, and focusing on performance instead of just weight loss.

    I've been running since January 2013, and I'm still slow (my fastest mile pace is about 10:30), but who cares? My first half marathon is coming up at the end of September, and if I can make it under 3 hours, I'll consider that a win.

    So if we're going on mile time, I'm "just a jogger." But if we're going on effort, passion, and training goals, then I'm a runner.

    I like "runner" better. :smile:

    Joggers don't get pissed when you call them runners.

    Fair point, you don't need them when you're billeted in a five star hotel rather than a PB
