Would you call someone who runs less than 25 miles a week a runner? 20, 15, 10?
Anyone on this forum just a fan and no longer really runs at a consistent basis?

anyone who trains to get faster is a runner. anyone who trains for fitness and has no care for pace is a jogger.
Anyone who attempts to asnwer this dumb question is a jogger.
I always considered it . . .
If you move faster than 8 min mile pace for a guy and 9 min mile pace for a girl then you are running. If you move slower than that, then you are jogging.
d'oh. guess i'm a jogger.
We are all Runners and created equal!
As someone who has recently made the transition from runner to jogger, this is my test:
If you wake up and decide not to head out for your planned run simply because you don't feel like it - then you're no longer a runner and have entered into joggerhood.
If you have never run a 100 mile week, them you are a jogger.
Using the 100 mile week rule, I know a couple of sub-four milers who are "joggers".
As an aside: What's with the fascination over the 100 mile week? Is it the nice round number? What if someone averages 98 miles per week - does that automatically make them less committed than their 100mpw counterparts?
Yes! 98<100
Being a runner vs. a jogger compares the speed with which you run, not the distance that you travel. As always Thoner, you are an idiot.
Uh....NOT! Nothing personal... your a jogger if your if you have not ran in a year and the local Race for the Cure is the up coming Saturday and you want to get in 15 miles for the week so you can break your last years best of 28:35 (5K). Not to mention wondering if someone broke 4:00 minutes for the mile yet
If you EVER do that? Because I'd say about once every two months or so (5-6 times per year) I just decide that no way am I heading out for a run. Pretty harsh definition if that is what you mean, but since you are difining it, you get the say so. Please clarify.
Galloway was a joker of course.
I'll put £20 at Coral's that Thoner's never broken 60 for 400m ... that makes him a jogger.

George Sheehan said the difference between a runner and a jogger was a race entry blank. I tend to agree.
If you've ever run a NYRRC road race you'd disagree with that theory. Joggers form the front line before most starts. Nothing like lining up behind someone in high tops and tube socks.
100% correct you are. Dodging the slowbees at the beginning of a race is one of the challenges, but just because they are there doesn't make them a runner.
Yes, those slow runners really make me mad!
Stepay, I guess I should clarify:
A missed morning run once every six months does not a jogger make. If you are missing runs every few weeks though - time to take a look in the mirror! I have found that most successful runners are such anal SOB's when it comes to training that they don't miss more than one or two runs a year (without good reason).
