" Below that pace, running is less efficient than walking and makes no sense as a means of getting from point A to point B. A courier delivering a message on foot over 60 miles of road would expend more energy jogging the distance at a 13 minute mile pace rather than briskly walking it at the same pace . Slow jogging is pure exercise, with no practical application. Because jogging is inefficient, it's often associated with poor form. Joggers, or runners who are jogging, sometimes move in ways that wouldn't be done in a competitive running situation: excessively bounding into the air, landing heavily on the heel, carrying the arms too high, and so forth. For these reasons, "jogger" and "jogging" are considered derogatory terms by some athletes who consider themselves runners. Other people use the terms "running" and "jogging" interchangeably, and see nothing derogatory about "jogging". Bruce Campbell Running Time Jogging is also used for active recovery intervals during interval training. The runner who may just have completed a fast 400 meter repetition at a sub-5-minute mile pace, may drop to an 8 minute mile pace for a recovery lap. "

" Jogging is a "high-impact" exercise that places strain on the body, notably the joints of the knee. This is actually one of the basic reasons for doing the exercise, as the impact drives growth processes in the body. Some dropped jogging in order to take up "low-impact" exercises such as stair climbing. Jogging can be combined with other kinds of exercising. Special trails that combine them are called trim trails. Some people define jogging as an inefficient form of running which, for the given individual performing it, and all other conditions held constant, is less efficient than walking. Above a certain pace, running is a more efficient form of locomotion (requires less effort).
