Thank you. Happy to have a fan

I'm now 75. I stated running in the 1970's . I did run distance races at about 7 mins/mile 50 years later, I don't race, still run but at a much slower pace. Funny thing is that I still feel that I am running fast even though my pace has dropped to around 12 mins/mile. Don't worry about it just get out and do it as long as you can. The health benefits are proven and obvious. Keep running/jogging whatever you call it.

thank you so much for your words! It really helps

[@mikevaldez7684]

Essex give me some tips-- I'm in my 60s and just starting to run....please give me some training & running tips

[@essextrails]

@@mikevaldez7684 Hello Mike. Where to start? I am 75, but have been running for 50 years so my body is conditioned to it. If you are starting from scratch in your 60s you need to take it very gently or you will become injured. The most important thing is your shoes. Get some advice from a shoe shop. I prefer quite cushioned shoes as my old joints benefit. Ignore all the weird running methods recommended, just get out and run short distances very slowiy and gently. GIve your body time to recover, it is so easy to become too enthusiastic and get injured. At first, breathing is difficult, it will improve as the body adjusts. If you have a heart rate monitor, use it so that you can be aware of when you are pushing too hard. (220-age is a good general maximum) On my videos where I am wearing shorts, you will see that I wear knee straps. These do help me if my knees get sore, so I tend to wear them all the time. One of the best introductions to running I have seen on KZbin is the one by Dev Runner: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5S8eWqqiciHf6s I was so impressed that I subscribed to his channel. In the UK we have a couch to 5k training plan which seems to have worked for lots of people: www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/get-running-with-couch-to-5k/ I hope you find this of some use and I hope that your running progresses well. Best wishes: Peter

I consider myself a (beginner) jogger because I move at a (very) slow steady pace. I started my journey by walking for 1 min, then jog for 1 minute for 20 mins total. Now I'm able to jog for 25 minutes straight. I'm going to slowly increase my jog time to 28 min, 30 min and so on. After a year or two when my endurance and speed increases maybe then I might think of myself as a runner.

[@rogerpalacios1238]

Quizás has escuchado el término : trotar. Para mi correr es todo paso/ velocidad que supera caminar y mas especifico en el criterio para diferenciar el correr y caminata: cuando ambos pies están suspendidos, en el aire, ya no estas caminando, estas corriendo y eres descalificado de la competencia. Pero al fin, como le llamen no importa. Lo que importa es disfrutar la actividad.

That you're back out there and walking so much is testament to your dedication and spirit. A lot of people who broke bones would give up, but you didn't.

[@ericb8985]

Great video! The terminology in German is a lot different: "Joggen" (= jogging) can be used for any form of non-race running, "Rennen" (= running / racing) is usually used for any form of sprinting and "Laufen" (the original term for any movement on legs) is the fitting translation used for running by runners. However, when I tell non-runners that I was "Laufen", they sometimes don't know that I didn't mean "Gehen" (walking). So yes, we don't judge jogging, but our terminology isn't clear to everyone and we cannot really stress the hard effort with the word "Laufen" for running.

[@philippschmid7519]

Yeah and mixing "Langlaufen" (Nordic skiing) into my winter trainings totally confuses my mum when I tell her that I'm went "laufen". :D

[@casakaiser]

Still remember the times when the word jogging came into the German language. Before that it was a “Waldlauf” : run in the woods. (Although you could perfectly do it in a park) To me in German “jogging” still sounds pretentious. Waldlauf it is for me.

[@lizziegutteridge8267]

My other half is Dutch and they have a simillar situation. The movement of walking is "loopen", but if you go for a walk that's "wandelen". The movement of running is "rennen", but if you go for a run that's "hard loopen" (hard walking???). I just stuck "joggen" into google tranlate and apparently you can do that too.

[@joosvanhaaren6502]

[@royaljelly747]

Hahaha ich kenn das problem

[@dreamsalamander]

I got the term confused too. I used to see some ppl at parks, going at a pace so slow u can literally brisk walk faster than them. So I had thought it was like this, a run is when ur doing what is biomechanically needed to go faster on foot than u can be walking, and jogging is when ur not at all going for speed but just adding a deliberate bounce or hop in order to get more cardio action than u would by walking.

[@barryalexander2909]

For me it's tied to HR zones. I 'shuffle' in Zone 1, jog in Zone 2, run steady in Zone 3, run fast in Zone 4 and sprint/die in Zone 5

[@TheLightningCruiser]

To me the two descriptions differentiate the intention behind the sport. I used to "jog" just for the sake of excercise and then started focusing on doing a marathon. From that point in I started calling myself a "runner". That is just a thing I made up for me personally but it really helps in trainig too because if I don't feel like my trainig is progressing or something I'll just tell myself I'm going out for a jog so my mind isn't on achieving a certain goal and I won't feel bad about not achieving said goal.

[@dlourdes4743]

I agree one thing is to say ok I am going for 1 hour run and another is the running preparing for a marathon... that is what I am working now... the difference is to run I wear a regular watch .. for Marathon training it is a special watch... measuring distance..

[@TickleMeElmo55]

I'm a novice runner at long distance; it's been about a year since I started. The question whether I'm running verse jogging has been in my mind since I started taking the sport seriously. I've concluded what was said near the end - I run/jog for health and for enjoyment. I'm not very good at endurance running - and that's okay - since I'm much better at it now when compared when I wasn't running/jogging at all. The criteria now is whether or not I'm "racing", which means I'm looking to complete a specific distance under a certain period of time. This has helped me greatly to keep my own ability in perspective and move at my own pace.

[@tonymartino7892]

Since I'm 65 now and been running my whole life I am definitely not offended by anyone's comments. So happy to simply stride along and enjoy the world go by. The great feeling that running brings during and after is still wonderful. Thank you for the excellent content as usual.

[@gtn]

Love that! Keep up the work Tony :)

[@Natureboypkr2]

I use a combination of the two. I jog as a way to lower my heart rate but keep it relatively elevated. My running is when I increase my pace and my stride is lengthened.

[@caiogaver3402]

I think this is kinda it. When i started i would go at 5 MPH for like 30 minutes and my heart would explode. Now i can do up to 6.5 MPH and still stay at a relative stable heart rate. Any higher than 6.5 MPH my heart rate really explodes and i can only sustain it for a few minutes. I can do 5.5 for a couple hours if i really want to. I can do 7.0 for like 6 minutes at most lol

[@hikerbq]

Let's just be inclusive and follow- the GTN lead by allowing each runner to define their runs and jogs as they will. One of my favourite friends says they "wog" which is so slow it's barely detectable as a run. But they are out there with an elevated heartbeat. That's all that matters. I'm in James' Mom's category and am sure my sprint is a standard marathon pace, but I'm still on the trails and loving it.

[@jensmith3719]

[@delwoodkelp8590]

I'm 72 and been running and jogging since age 15. While I now consider much of what I do to be "steep hiking" and "flat jogging" I think it is important to throw in some short segments of "real running" and "moderately fast running...but not quite sprinting". Doing so such that you don't forget how to run fast. Uses quite different muscles. Without such short segments people above age 60 actually forget how to really run. I might also add that if possible do much of your hiking/jogging/running on surfaces that are not track perfect. Keeps your agility from becoming only suitable for "mall walking". Keep variability in your exercise and avoid the "elderly hesitancy" syndrome that makes seniors ever more susceptible to dangerous falls and stumbles from age 70 onward. Actually if you can find a lawn like surface it is not a bad idea to practice falling. Going with the stumble or fall is much safer than crashing like a tall tree. Look at how small kids do it. One last point. When jogging on uneven trails, you exercise more than your legs and heart. You actually train your brain for continuous brain versatility while looking for safe foot placement. Older brains need that variable workout for more than just cardio, blood flow, reasons. Keep a eye out for roots though. My last fall was due to a toe catching a root on the trail.

[@aloksingh-yp3gc]

400 meter I can sprint 1.5 km I can run 3 or more km I jogg. So now It's clear to every one. The pace at which your heart rate becomes stable is your jogging, if it's rising it is either a run or a sprint.

To me the difference is in the stride. When jogging my stride is shorter and more compact, and almost entirely in the quads. When running my stride elongated and my hamstrings engage significantly more. At my height, that break is around 8 mins / mile. Wonder if anyone else has a similar personal distinction.

I suck at jogging. Always start going "too fast" after a few kilometers. My jog pace is between 5:50-6:20/km, depending on the route (I'm 100kg, so lots of hills will slow me down a lot), but I often find myself running at around 5:30 pace and I have to really work at slowing myself down. Sometimes I can keep that pace on the flat when I find my rhythm and still be zone 2, but my HR will be so close to the zone 3 limit, that any little extra effort or just a slight uphill will push me to zone 3, and I really try to avoid that on my easy run days.

Don't worry; you can easily get back to 5k at 21.00. And after that, get started on going sub-20. One of misconceptions with running 5ks is that you can just put more effort in, on race day, and you'll get your old time back. People tend to beat themselves up and think they're not trying hard enough, which is discouraging (and not true). Here's what you do. For the next 8 weeks, do the following three/four runs a week. On a Sunday, jog 10-12k. Nice and easy, don't get out of breath. This will build your aerobic fitness. On a Tuesday, run 800/1k intervals, five times over. Have a nice rest inbetween. You want to run those hard, and be out of breath. For your third run, which is called 'tempo', run 5k slightly slower than the pace you're aiming for. Your first target will be 25 minutes, which is obviously 5 minute ks. So, if you have a running watch, aim for around 5.1 or 5.2 minute kilometres. I guarantee you if you follow this and throw in more runs here and there that firstly, you will love running again and, secondly, you'll be back to your old time very, very quickly. Running is a grind. Just stick to the process.

Intervals are the best exercise to increase speed. Plus strength and conditioning excercises. Good luck!

Walking is when at least 1 foot has contact with the ground at all times. Running is when at times there is no contact with the ground.

Good video. Nice explanation. Loved it.

[@Lfiddler4life]

I can myself a jogger because there's no assumption that I'm fast. Never been fast, never will be fast. That's okay it's just fun

[@gtn]

Nothing wrong with that 🙂

[@RukiKenishiro]

well i call myself a “walker” *the walking dead theme starts*

Mr James Cunnama: I think this is an amazing video. Your palmares demonstrates that you know what you are talking about and we always enjoyed the fun stories, playfulness and humility you brought. With this video you are now one of the most professional presenters out there. You are now not a jogger of presenting, but a professional runner! Well done! (I always enjoy your fun tales from the past... try get some competitors/rivals/coaches onto the program...)

I've been running for 25 years alone in the streets and i love it

I am a runner turned jogger if a difference must be made. For me as a 36 years old ex athlete, that's the difference between a pleasurable meditative ride and a punishing hellish scamper. Glad I don't have to time my laps no more, just a grand long route along the river or a loop in the woods, keep relaxed and carry on till that high.

[@aleardomanacerojunior1488]

As dictionary says, jogging is running easy. So, I don’t get offended by someone saying that I’m jogging, even if I’m put my guts out. Since last week I started trying MAF training, which makes me jog most of the distance (it’s not easy keep HR below 125 for 8 to 10 km). It’s been an interesting experience since until that I usually had a hard time to keep paces lower than 5min/km. Now I can hold 5’30 just keeping the right HR.

Be healthy and move you body whatever speed no competition but always stay with your healthy heart rate

[@susansmith7392]

Thank you for the video!

[@dextere4616]

Doesn't matter what you call it as long as you do some exercise that's a like for me.

[@UtkarshKothari]

I live in a non-running community. So whenever someone asks me how many kilometers do I walk (I actually run them but these guys always call it walking cuz its the only thing they understand) its ultra offensive.

[@UtkarshKothari]

Even if someone asks me the number of kilometers I "jog", it would still be way better than 'walking' imo.

[@drums5050]

This dude at work mentioned that I was interested in jogging rather than running. I wanted to say “I beg your pardon you grown up kid”,and not sure how he would have taken it.. i wasn’t happy, certainly wanted to give him a comeback that gave him a knock on his chin. Hate that word.

[@Burps___]

I play Frisbee golf, which is now popularized as Disc Golf. All major organizations now call it Disc Golf. Yet, only a decade ago, almost everyone called it Frolfing (Frisbee + golf). Nowadays, like jogging, Frolfing has an almost negative connotation. But, any way you slice it, Frolfing is Disc Golfing, and Jogging is Running. 🏃‍♀

[@noosphericaltarzan]

I feel like jogging lacks much of a knee drive and has less back side mechanics. Most people are actually joggers. I have tried and tried to develop better running mechanics at an easy pace, but decided to give up and call that jogging, and suddenly these words made sense. But it was only in the past year that I became strong enough to actually “run” for an extended period of time, so I just didn’t know better. To be clear, for me “running” starts around 4:00 min/km but really feels right as I close in on 3:00 min/km. My easy runs are like 5:30 and that’s definitely jogging.

[@bakuretsutroll]

I always say jogging lol I did not know it was a thing, running is something else, when you run you have a goal, when you jog you just jog you know xd

[@markrimelspach7041]

Need a third category. I am more like a shuffler (even slower than jogging).

[@RexChevalchroi]

Those who dwells too long on definition tends to miss the point, those who cares more about the action tends to hit the miles. So act now, define later. Stay healthy everyone.

[@janeroy4810]

I jog with my dog because he's not up to my running stride (yet, he's a baby). I consider myself running when I stretch to my full stride and am really lifting my knees instead of just my ankles. No idea what my speed is for that either... but mostly I say I jog because it rhymes with dog.

[@ItsSteveMiller]

Credit to Russ, Gary, and Carl - but jogging is when one is obsessed with heart rates and you'll run in place at a stop light to keep it up. Me - I classify myself as a nonjogger.

[@366Gli]

My definition centered on the speed. When I got to an 8 minute mile I considered I was running. That definition slipped a bit when I was training for a marathon. My body traded a bit of speed for the needed endurance. On the great day I did the first 22 miles in 3 hr 15min. That is a bit slower than 9 min/mile. Some of the rest of the distance I was down to a walk. (A walk is easy to defines ,it is when there is at any instant, there is always one foot one foot on the ground the at all times. In running both feet are airborne during every step)

[@captainsmith8842]

Jogging, or yogging? I'm pretty sure it has a soft J.

[@LoveLife-gv8jg]

OMG I'm at 16 min mile. I'm definitely jogging and I love it. My goal is 12-14 min mile/ 3 miles a day

[@kangen9point5]

I define a jogger as someone who has no regard for hitting a certain pace. Runners, on the other hand, are competitive - whether it’s to race others or to set personal records.

[@emhgarlyyeung]

Jogging is slower but faster than walking, it's only for excercise, and not much about racing. Running is faster, it can be exercise and for racing, or for running for ur life, or running to catch the bus.

[@teresaribeiro2507]

Thanks for that. Jogging is what I do while out running. I do it for my health and my heart. I don’t get offended it people call me a runner or a jogger. Thanks
