[Closed] whats the difference between running and jogging?!

'joggers' go out in the mid-day sun.

Proper runners go out at 6.00 am to avoid the hottest part of the day.

HTH

Sweat bands.

runners wear vests and shorts

ohh so its a dedication thing? a bit like the difference between someone saying "i'm a cyclist" and "i ride a bike (only on sunny days on canal paths)" ? that would make sense!

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jogging

The definition of jogging as compared with running is not standard. Dr. George Sheehan, a running expert, is quoted to have said "the difference between a jogger and a runner is an entry blank". Mike Antoniades offers a more specific definition, describing jogging as running slower than 6 mph (10 minute per mile).

I guess I'd say that if you're trying to improve your times, get faster etc, then you're a runner; if you're always going out at the same sedate pace by choice (rather than crapness) then you're a jogger.

I'd say cadence, 180 = running.
Other will say pace, say around 7 min/miles, some will say slower.
Relative.

When I used to run, I considered myself a runner.

Looking back, I see myself as a jogger.

When I ran a cross-country marathon, I was definitely a runner ... with the time of a jogger. 🙄

So on the days I have an easy 'run' I am actually a jogger? 😕

Running = < 7 minute mile
Jogging = > 7 minute mile

HTH 😉

I was told once that jogging was running at a pace that allowed you to maintain a conversation, whereas running required sufficient exertion that you couldn't maintain a conversation.....

So, going on that definition, it depends on the person doing the jogging or running.

In reality, I think jogging is seen as something done by unfit people or those trying to lose some weight, whereas running is a past time/hobby/serious exercise.....??

I used to do a lot of running (obviously not jogging) and get well annoyed when people asked how far I jogged.....
I think a few times I asked if they'd like to come along for a jog and see how well they kept up. No one ever did.

It's like winding people up who race karts by referring to them as 'go-karts'.

Depends entirely on the individual - some people are at max heart rate and going furiously at 10 min miles. 10 min miling is definitely running for them.

For me a jog is if I'm not training for anything and have a short bimble to the co-op for beer. All the other running I do is running.

I would actually still class 8-9 min miles as a slow run. Jogging really is hard for a runner to do, as you can do a half decent pace without getting too knackered, for me thats around the 7:30 min mile pace. I think jogging is for the less dedicated.

[i]I'd say cadence, 180 = running.[/i]

Excellent! I can 12 minute mile at that cadence and still call it running 🙂

Speed/pace imo.

Parisienne's jog...i like running in paris - lots of couple's pootling along looking chic, not breaking a sweat.

For me it's all about the effort you put in. If it's not painful, it can't be running 😉

So on the days I have an easy 'run' I am actually a jogger?

Well, no, you're a runner jogging. (-:

I aspire to 10 minute miles at the moment, and I can assure you I'm running.

Interesting one. If I go out with the wife, it feels uncomfortably slow for me. Like cycling, you can pick up the pace to a point where you feel like you're covering the ground more efficiently. A bit more effort with a lot more pace. Might that be the change over point?

I like the deffinition of self improvement. I'm trying to cover more and more distance (if I could go faster as well it would be great) but I'm not happy to stick where I am. Does that mean my 8:20 miles are running then?

I used to jog at a running pace, I now run at a jogging pace.

If you're enjoying yourself then you're jogging.

If you aren't, it's running.

The looks on the faces of most joggers I see would suggest that the reverse is true.

Excellent! I can 12 minute mile at that cadence and still call it running

Love you see you try!

I was just thinking the very same question - just heard someone on the radio talking about the race for life "there are still spaces left, you don't even have to run, you could jog if you like", thought it sounded a bit strange!

The looks on the faces of most joggers I see would suggest that the reverse is true.

Oh yes I would agree with that! It was only once I stopped running that I could appreciate other peoples observations. 🙂

And, on that note, it's my birthday and am now going out for a bike ride ... on a borrowed bike. 😉

Easy.

Runners try to improve their times/performances (regardless of what those performances are)
Joggers dont

I am running slower each year but I still strive to perform as well as I can and train with this goal.

Jogging is 1970s hardcore. I like saying i'm going for a jog. All the gym hamsters that use treadmills say they're "running" and i like to distance myself from that.

I jogged a 36min 10km on Sunday 8) .

Joggers: trackies hoodie visor, make up on, White fashion trainers, park.

Runners: tights or shorts, vest or running tee, stopwatch, running shoes, sweat.

Simples

they're both the same, it's that thing you do when you don't have your bike and need to get somewhere, but quickly

[i] whats the difference between running and jogging?![/i]

dunno, but runners and joggers...

joggers bob up and down on the spot waiting to cross the road at traffic lights whilst runners stop for a well deserved rest.

Kev

To tell the difference between a runner and a jogger, make them have to wait for traffic (or a green light) to cross the road. The runner will take up a poised position ready to start again as soon as the road is clear. The jogger will bounce up and down on the spot.

'joggers' go out in the mid-day sun.

Proper runners go out at 6.00 am to avoid the hottest part of the day.

BAH - Kev beat me too it whilst I was writing the second bit
