Difference between jogging and running
Posted on 6/29/21 at 3:01 pm

This is a bit of a personal opinion thing it appears, so I thought it was a decent topic here. For you personally, what do you consider the difference between jogging and running? I've looked a bit online and the only objective thing answering this question is that there is a stigma with the term "jogging". Competitive people who believe they are "runners" or go "running" overwhelming report that it offends them to be called "joggers".
I've worked hard over the last 6 months to develop myself a bit from being a fat slob and I'm up to running a 5k in about 37 minutes, that's a consistent 5mph. That's legitimately racing. It's not coming close to winning anything, but I know a shitload of people who can't move 5mph two minutes, much less 37 minutes. I consider that jogging and call myself a jogger.
I'm working on ramping that up to a 10 minute pace, or about 30 minutes for a 5k. I think that is what I consider where jogging turns into running, and I could call myself a runner.
What's that breakpoint for you where a jog turns into a run? Time? Speed? Distance? Some combination?

jogging = conversation pace

I always felt like 7 min/ mile was the cutoff but that's when I was young and fast. I still would put it at about the same spot but I'm an old jogger now and I'm ok with that.

Jogging - long slow runs
Running - 400 or 800 meter runs. Not a sprint but not a 5 mile pace either
Sprinting - 200 meters or less

Been on LetsRun for a little too long, huh?
Personally I don't care what someone calls themselves. I consider a runner to be someone who trains to compete in a running event, not just to lollygag. Someone who just does a 10 minute run to get their "cardio" in likely wouldn't call themselves a runner, and would probably call what they do jogging

Anyone over the age of 30 averaging a 7 minute mile isn’t jogging.

Fair enough, what pace would be jogging?

Jogging = > 5 inch shorts
Running = 5 inch shorts or less.

I always say “I’m going to run” when I tell the wife I’m leaving. Just ran a 9:58 pace 5K in the neighborhood. Far from “professional” but it’s what I say. Always thought of jogging as something older people do at a faster than walking pace.
Wouldn’t be offended either way because I have no thoughts of being anywhere close to a professional or elite. Also haven’t run an official race/event because I just do it for myself and to get better against myself. I’m happy with that.

Jogging: 120 HR
Running: 140-160 HR
Racing: 160 HR+
At least, that’s how I view it and train accordingly. 80% of my runs are in the 120-140 HR range.

This kinda goes with the thread about “training.”
Jogging to me is when people go out to run strictly for cardio. They aren’t thinking about racing or training or improvement. It’s just weight loss and complementary exercise.
Running is a sport. There are training plans, goals...those kind of things.

So after I had stopped competing but was still going out for 5-8 mile runs at 6:15-6:30 pace I was jogging but someone running races at 8 minute pace and training to improve is running?

I think, to your point, a "jog," "run," or "sprint" is all a personal thing. My run is Mo Farah's jog, is a beginner's sprint.

It has nothing to do with pace. It is about effort and goals.

I agree. There is no set pace for all jogging/runners.
One mans Jog is another mans Run.
For me personally i think of at Orange Theory. My "Base pace" is 6MPH. I can "jog" that easily for as long as needed. It doesnt require too much effort from me and i feel good during/after it. But my arms and legs are in a "jogging" motion.
But when i go into a "push" im normally at 8/9MPH. This speed i will top out at 3-4 minutes long. This to me is running.
In the classes though multiple different people have multiple different base/push speeds. (essentially different jog/run speeds)

You must be a jogger.
Posted on 6/30/21 at 3:05 pm to TigerFanatic99
I never think bout this. But I guess i just jog. Im not running at a full pace for 3.5 miles.
Bu when I play soccer am i jogging, running or sprinting? Or all 3? Seems like the real difference is going for a jog and doing sprints.
you are technically running while jogging and running while sprinting.
