[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What speed is running? Jogging?

Posted: 8/4/2005 2:36:25 PM EDT

My treadmill workouts vary between 5.5 and 7.0 MPH. Am I running or jogging? Is there a dividing line?

The difference between a jogger and a runner in an entrance form.

Sign up for and run a race. Voila, you are a runner.

For me, I figure when I'm running near max, like towards 7 +MPH for any distance, I'm running. If I go slower like say 5.5 or 6 MPH, I'm jogging.

I jog when I pace myself and run when I am timing myself. Hope that made sence.

Running is when you are traveling at a speed which is at or just below your lactate threshold.

Jogging is when you are moving fast enough to get your heart rate inot a beneficial zone but are not near the lactate threshold.

That is my definition anyway.

Jogging is something someone does for about 2 weeks at the mostly in nice weather maybe fall but mostly spring, Becuase they feel like the want to get in shape.

Running is something someone does all year long whether outside or on a treadmill. They ussually do it wearing some t-shirt that advertises a marathon or a race, but its an addiction to them.
