OK, I am still a jogger.....
I just read the following which defines runners and joggers:
"To distinguish runners from joggers, authorities on the subject say that runners run a mile in seven minutes or less, train and look for competitive events to race in, or run solely for the sheer enjoyment of running; whereas joggers, who on average run 10 to 15 minutes a mile, are not as interested in competing against others as they are in improving their health and fitness." Source: Jogging And Running.
So, my last run was 2.05 miles in 26 minutes, which works out to be approximately 12.6 minutes per mile. So, based on the above definition, I am still a jogger. SO, I now know my first main aim in my new running for fitness program - to run around my Second Baddow Circle in 14 minutes. I just need to knock 12 minutes off my time, and then I can say that I am a runner!
