You were jogging unless you ran part of the workout at faster than 7 minute pace. Then you were running during that time and jogging the rest of the time. No confusion about that.
If there's no confusion then why are you so confused?
This athlete jogged the entire run unless they have accumulated over 50 sub 7:00 miles this week.
You're all crazy, I am fat and I am RUNNING 5.5mi per hour, RUNNING. I don't care if that is at half speed for what you consider running or not, I am fat, out of shape and I think that 5.5 mph should count as running. If nothing else at least 6mph should be running, that is a 10 minute mile, that's good! If I were to push myself I'd say 8:00 pace is good, but 6:00 pace? what the heck ever.
I personally don't see myself physically being able to accomplish such speeds for awhile, I need a lot more conditioning and the sweat on my brow says that I'm already running not jogging, a jog should be fairly easy and what I am doing is pushing me.
I RUN an 11-12 minute mile. I'll RUN a faster one soon.
Lets put this into perspective from another part of the running world.
How about you "run" at sub 7's for 3 hours at any 50-100 mile ultra. This ultra "running" community would likely be refering to you as DFL or a DNF'er.
How thick was the mud? Was the wall at least 8 feet tall that you had to climb? How about the jump off the plank into the pond? 20+ feet? It doesnt really matter how fast you run the flats unless you can carry the log up the mountain without knocking off your warrior hat. Idiot flatlanders.
