Jogging vs RunningJogging vs running: What's the difference between jogging and running? Well jogging is considered a form of trotting or running at a slow or leisurely pace. Its main intention is to increase
fitness
with less stress on the body than from faster running. The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again. ~Erma Bombeck There is a distinct difference between jogging and running. One is performed at a more comfortable, relaxed pace and primarily for cardiovascular fitness and weight loss. While, running, on the other hand, is generally done at a considerably faster pace where a mile is typically completed in 8 minutes or less. I've completed a mile in 8 minutes and that's all I could do was that one mile. I couldn't push myself any further to complete another 10 miles at the same pace. But runners often maintain that same fast pace throughout a running event. They don't slow down and they don't quit unless they've injured themselves (and even then they might still push on just to finish). Running is considered a competitive sport with finishers receiving medals and purses with the best times. Running is a part of the Olympics where the fastest runner receives a gold medal. Not everyone can compete as a runner, but most of us can be joggers. We may not do interval or tempo runs as speed is not always the goal of a jogger, but getting outside and pushing yourself is rewarding in itself. Jogging vs Running Back to Jogging101
