6:00 and slower feels like jogging to me. To be clear, I currently can not sustain 5:59 or faster for more than about 5K right now.
What pace do you feel like you're truly running?

There’s no universal answer, since humans are quite unusual with our unlimited, variable gearing. A sign of how critical mobility is for us. We’re still nomads.
Err... I'd say someone is running between 4 min mile and 8 min mile.
Jogging between 8 min mile and 12 min mile
Walking after 12 min mile.
I once walked a 5K in 25 minutes.
Troll thread will probably end up getting quite a lot of attention but
Anything faster would be considered an all out sprint.
I dont know why most of my post got cut off then but here’s my take.
Anything slower would be walking pace.
12 minute miles = slow jog
9.5 - 10.5 minute miles = moderate jogging
9 minute miles = fast jogging
8.5 minute miles = slow running
7.5 - 8 minute miles = moderate running
7 minute miles = moderately fast running
6 minute miles = fast running
5 minute miles = very fast running
4.5 minute miles = crazy fast running
4 minute miles = stupidly fast running, moderate/hard sprinting for everybody on earth except elite sprinters and middle distamce runners.
Anytging faster would be an all out sprint.
Did you use the less than and more than signs?
Yes, I’m guessing that was my mistake. ?
It cuts it off for some reason. For what it's worth I agree with your paces.
Apparently it depends on whether a foot remains in contact with the ground at all times (walking vs running) but for me I'd say it's more about pace than that.
What a silly idea. I made the pace standards universal but of course this is letsrun and I am probably going to get a whole slew of replies/disagreements saying that I am wrong and anything over 4:59 pace is a slow jog. I’d class running as when your gait/stride noticably opens up.
It's silly because it can't be judged. That's why I refuse to watch race walking. I think they're all cheating, only it's imperceptible so they get away with it. So it's pointless.
For me I'd say jogging has a different feel to running, to do with stride.
Anyone with a pace slightly faster than mine is running like an insane idiot; anyone with a pace slower slightly slower than mine is a stupid hobby jogger.
A race walker once told me, and I found it true, that slower than 12 min/mile it’s more efficient to walk.

Is that training or racing pace? And would that time be for a 1 mile all out effort?
If you are over 4 in the mile then you are pure hobby.

Those are complex but pretty close to the running vs jogging cutoff:
https://justfitnesshub.com/jogging-vs-running/"While jogging is defined as “running at speeds of less than 6 mph”, running is seen as anything faster than 6 mph."
I guess this would also define the cutoff for being classified as a "hobby jogger." ?
Came for the comment, left satisfied
Kouros has run more than 6mph for over 2 days continuously!
I'd say slower than 8 minute miles is jogging, maaaaybe I'd give you 8:30 or 9. Then it's all running down to 4:00 mile speed, then sprinting
My high school and university coach [Hall of Fame, Berny Wagner] told us that a jog was a speed that you could do forever if you didn't have to stop stop for loading food and water or unloading what's left. Running meant you were going fast enough that you had a limited distance you could cover depending on your fitness.
I read somewhere that jogging is defined as 10:00/mile or slower pace. I personally think I am jogging around 7:30/mile which is my recovery/easy pace. My goal marathon pace is 6:06 for reference.
