Do you jog or run?
Mike's definition of jogging is simple: If you are "moving" slower than 6 miles per hour you are jogging, and quite frankly you would be better off walking!
Walking at 4 mph or faster is biomechanically more efficient and far more beneficial to you than "jogging" slowly!
When we walk fast we tend to use our legs and our arms together and this burns more calories, plus jogging or running put far more potentially damaging forces through our hip, knee and ankle joints.

6 mph, I haven't run that fast yet

Really good post...

I thought the idea in long distance running was to land on the heel and push off the ball of the foot in a rolling kind of action...apparently not.

Gonna try some of the techniques tonight....  compress
