When does running cease to be running and become a walk?
I ask as I see lots of "runners" along the GBW who merely appear to be walking or it would be a quicker to walk sort of run.

I think the official difference (when it comes to that Olympic speed walking thing), is that if there is any point where both feet are off the ground, its running.

Yup...although I wonder where this puts jogging...as both feet will be off that ground at some point, but its not running.

Or is it that jogging is just "slow running"?

Probably. That's were you enter the world of 'pace'.

Pace?

It makes me laugh when you go in the gym and someone thinks they are exercising when they are walking on a treadmill holding on to the bar! Pushing a pram would be cheaper and healthier. Do they think that the fact they are in a gym imbues them with exercise benefits?

When you feel you should stop doing both and get a nice snack :hungry:
Running stops when you think you are'nt running,but why bother,your heart will still be pounding the same:sweat:

Yes,actually they could just walk to the gym and get the same work done,but they HAVE to go the GYM:headshake:
 
I warm for 5-10 minutes at a fast walk on the treadmill, while I fit the ear plugs in and because I can no longer jog or run but I can still manage a 4 mile walking pace. I never laugh at others exercising, even when they look right possers,because I always think, that might be me in the near future and at least they are still making an effort
