What is the difference between running and jogging?
I went to the sports center to jog today. And I met my friend’s sister along the way. She told me that I should run and not jog because jogging will cause greater impact on the knee joint. So I wondered how do I run and not jog?

all that is different is the speed. jogging is more of a slow to moderate pace while running is more fast paced
Ask Jim Fixx oh wait he’s dead form….. JOGGING!
Running puts more stress on the knees than jogging does, and walking even less. The harder or faster you move, the more stress on legs and joints. While you main burn more calories running, you are more likely to damage your legs than with a slower pace.
Pick up the pace!
running is faster than jogging…
jogging is relax and slow run for healthy…
but running is run to get no.1 in the competition…
Well in my part of the city you run if your neighbor comes home early and you were with his wife.
You jog on your way back home and wave at the neighbor as he is on the porch talking to his wife.
some pain and alot of pain – not trying to be rude, it was just the first thought that came to mind (i have bad knees and running/jogging just isnt in the picture for me)
may i recommend a natural supplement that will help rebuild the cartilage in your knees and also improve overall flexibility and use of knee? glucosamine – it is available at drug stores, health food stores and walmart!
Same as the difference between paddling and rowing..
I wonder this myself. I say that I’m going running. If running = speed then i guess I’ve truly been jogging.
-A run may be full effort for short bursts of time as a jog may be a consistant effort for a longer amount of time.
-however at about the 4.5 mile mark i’m not sure how much faster I could go.
-perhaps someone at your sports center may have a more clear definition.
*good luck* *good question*
just let your legs “go”. i think you will notice less impact on your knees.
