Are you a runner or a jogger?

Are you a runner or a jogger? Both words are often referred to as the same thing.

Joggers have more of a bouncy movement when they move, while runners have a steady rhythm that includes longer steps and faster arm swing. When you're running, the position at which your foot strikes the ground is very important. The ball of your foot should strike the ground first, not the heel. Although the same is true when you're jogging, a mistake when you're running is more likely to cause an injury since your foot is hitting the ground more frequently and harder.

Bottom Line?

Running and jogging both have health advantages, but you’ll get additional benefits by adding some speed work to your jogging routine. One day a week, pick up the intensity by running or using fartlek interval training. Here is a link that will explain fartlek training.
