In this guide we go over what jogging and running is, what pace is and we go over much more.

However, there are a number of ways in which the two activities differ. First, we will look at what run- ning and jogging actually look like. What is running? A runner moves quicker than a jogger. Any run that has a pace that is quicker than 8 mph is viewed as being ‘running’. It’s also divided up into further types of running. Running can mean something as explosive and quick as a 100m sprint. Or it could mean a marathon run that covers a huge distance and requires immense amounts of endurance. Again, that pace thing is important. If the runner is covering upwards of 8 mph in speed, it is running as opposed to jogging. What is Jogging? We’ve kind of answered that question in the previous section. Here, a run that has a speed between 3 and 7 mph is considered a jog. Compared to running, jogging defi- nitely puts less immediate strain on a runner’s body. However, the distance covered can be significantly longer (but not always) and can end up bringing the same amount of weight loss or other health benefits that a run can deliver. The pace thing
It's pretty obvious that the two activities, at first glance, have a difference in pace. It's important to remember that there are also variants in pace that are under the complete control of the runner. If a jogger suddenly wanted to speed up to beat her time, she could, and would effec- tively move into running mode. If a runner wished to slow down to conserve energy, they could be converting their run to a jog. In any case, the two accepted paces of over 8 mph and between 3 and 7 mph are what differentiate the two runs. Further issues The slower pace of jogging is set between two speeds of 3 mph and 7mph. This is generally because many items of racing technology (including stopwatches and GPS units) class anything above 8 mph as a run. However, the 3 mph-7 mph range allows joggers to get more out of their run, and some freedom to experiment with pace. Also, it's worth noting that some people still see jogging as a slightly inferior form of running. This is a pace thing too. Some people feel that jogging is more for fun than competition, which is fair enough. However, there are some joggers who run for in- credible distances and see themselves as runners, even though they are under that 8 mph pace. A key indicator that someone is jogging is the ability to hold a conversation while mov- ing. In fact, this is often the benchmark that some people use to differentiate between a running and a jogging pace. If you can hold a reasonably comfortable level of con- versation while running, you’re jogging. So there we have it. The two different paces for running and jogging. Essentially, if a runner goes over 8 mph, it becomes a proper run rather than a jog. Website: https://getsongbpm.com
