Over at Dr Dave Hindley’s wonderful and thought provoking blog – Running the Line (which you should certainly subscribe to) – he has just posted a brilliant piece about the terminology we use in running and the differences and connotations of ‘jogging’ and ‘running’ in a brilliant exploration of what running and runners are.
I had the pleasure of meeting Dave last month and although an academic, running is his hobby-research and his blog really makes for fascinating reading. This is just one post among many that I’m sure had crossed the minds of most runners and running-researchers. At some point in the future I will weigh into this debate I’m sure, but for now, have a good read of Dave’s thoughts.
