  1. If I were to be asked what the differences are between walking and jogging,
    and jogging and running, would the following be an accurate explanation:

    Running and jogging both differ from walking in that at no time while
    walking is the entire body off the ground, whereas while running or jogging,
    the body is momentarily airborne between steps.

    Running differs from jogging in that jogging can be accomplished at a speed
    at which the jogger could also walk (said speed, of course, would vary from
    person to person).

    Running is what I do, jogging is 1 min. a mile slower than what I do.

    Or, like it says in the FAQ: the people I pass are joggers and the ones who
    pass me are runners.

    Walking is what you do at work on the clock.
    Jogging is what you do when you're at the mall with your GF, and see
    your wife coming.
    Running is what you do when the pigs are chasing you.

    Let's put this discussion to bed in a hurry. Running and jogging seems
    to have some related speed notion. Unfortunately, once you try to
    quantify it, it all falls apart. In essence trying to distinguish the
    two ends up in a snob contest. If you fell you are a runner and do 20
    min/mile then that's what you are. If you feel you are jogger at 6
    min/mile then you are a jogger. The point obviously, you are what you
    want to call yourself and what others think doesn't make a tinker's
    damn.

    I must admit it's been a quite few months since we have had the runner
    vs. jogger discussion. Too many have been preoccupied in defining what
    competitive means - another lesson in snobbism, and for once I won't
    mention a certain persons name. 🙂

    I jog. If I notice a babe approaching from behind I start walking and
    allow her to pass. I'm then able to check her out. If I like what I see
    I start running like an elite Kenyan leaving a burning building.

    They stay around burning buildings (hoping for some barbecued ribs)

    To put a sobering point on that, I once ran a few quick miles at 6:45 pace
    with some Kenyans, who were nice enough to jog with me....
