Way better for your heart, eventually worse for your joints. I wish I liked swimming.

Don't listen to this person. That's absurd.

It's not absurd. It's actually not that far off. Let's say you walk at 3.5 mph and jog at 7mph. To get 5 miles you'd have to walk twice as long. It would be absurd if someone said walking and jogging for an hour was the same. But if you just said "it takes twice as long walking to equal jogging", that wouldn't be that far fetched, right?
