I think of jogging as that inefficient gate between walking and easy running where you would be easier to finish a race alternating between between walking fast and running slowly it would be to maintaining that steady jogging pace. Right now it's probably something like 12-minute miles for me.
For males:
Running is faster than 6 minute miles
Jogging is slower than that
For females:
Running is faster than 7 minute miles
Jogging is slower than that

There's only one right answer to this question, and this is it.
Techinically, the majority of easy runs should feel like jogging in terms of effort, so most people's recovery paces should comparatively qualify.
1:44 @ 800
1 minute slower than usual training pace for a 5-8 mile run. Example : You average 7:00 min per mile then 8:00 minutes is jogging. 7:30/8:30 etc.

What pace do you feel like you're truly running?
Everything is relative. To someone in 4 minute and change mile shape, jogging might be at close to a 6:00 to 6:30 pace. As a general rule I think 9:00/mile would be a reasonable lower limit as to whether one is jogging or running. Although at my advanced age and state of disrepair, its probably a run.

I wasn't looking for some universal answer, just what pace y'all feel like you're truly running.
Hassan Mead looks like he's jogging at anything slower than about 4:40 pace I'd say.

The general consensus is *6 mph* is the cutoff between running and jogging:

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 agree, its all about current fitness
I remember when a 7min/mile pace was a sprint. Now I can hold it for an hour
Wikipedia says 10min/mile 6min/km is the cut off
The running godz set forth in 1973 that running shall be at a pace of 7 minutes per mile or faster.
That isn't to say there is something wrong with jogging. Even the fastest runners in the world jog at times.
When you get old and slow, you might think you are running by how hard an effort you are putting in but just look in a mirror and you will see that it's merely a jog.
What's even worse is when you realize there are walkers who can go at a faster pace than you think you are running.

Great question. Joggers wear headphones. Runners don’t.

Nah...that's incorrect Mac. It's more like running faster than 6 mph:
https://livehealthy.chron.com/running-vs-jogging-3628.html"You might think running and jogging mean the same thing, but in fact they are actually different. The obvious difference between the two is the pace. Jogging is defined as going at a pace of less than 6 mph, while running is defined as anything faster than 6 mph. Other differences, including how your body burns calories and how your muscles react to the two exercises, define jogging and running."
Haven't thought about this in a while. When I did, however, running and jogging were not defined by pace (although jogging in general definitely slower than running) but by the nature of the movements you do. In fact, there seems to be a definite 'easy running' mode between running and jogging that feels distinctively different from both.

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.
As someone who does long hikes mixing walking, jogging, and running I'd say this seems about right.
Anything within about 60% of my top speed feels like running to me. My 200 speed is around 25-flat any given day, so that means about 5:20 pace feels like legitimate running.
It is not a matter of time/pace.
It is a matter of effort.
Mo Farah can jog faster than 95% of LRC's race pace.
I am 59 year old with arthritis in both knees and a pin in my foot.
I run much slower than I used to jog when I was 25.
12/13:00 mile and slower is walking
10-12:00 mile is easy jogging
9-10:00 mile is normal jogging
8-9:00 mile is fast jogging
7-8:00 mile starts to feel like Running for me
6-7:00 mile pace for my 800m intetval XD
5-6:00 mile pace for 400m interval
4-5:00 mile for 200m intervals no joke
under 4:00 mile is a Stride/Relaxed sprint
and a 3:06 mile is all-out sprinting for me
