Most people associate running with speed, often viewing it as an exercise that leaves runners breathless and tired when they finish. On the other hand, when someone runs slowly, they might feel like they are not putting in enough effort. However, just as there are contrasts between sports cars and minivans, different running styles have various benefits. Slow jogging, a leisurely form of running, can be a beneficial addition to your running routine.
Of course, the concept of slow can vary from person to person. For a competitive marathon runner, a slow pace will be very different from that of someone who only goes on quick daily jogs around their neighborhood. Slow running can essentially be defined as the pace at which you can easily carry on a conversation with someone while running for a long time. If you measure your pace for a five-kilometer race, slow jogging will typically be around 1.5 to two minutes slower per kilometer. But why should one engage in slow running?
