Walking vs jogging

[andylovesdisney]

This is probably a dumb question, but here goes anyway.... What pace do you find that walking changes to jogging?
Thanks

Walking becomes jogging at any moment both feet are off the ground.

When you are walking, there is always at least one foot on the ground.

What do you think the difference is in pace? For example, is 13:00 a slow jog or a fast walk? Or both?

It depends on a few things, for those with long strides might be a fast walk, for those of us with short legs, slow jog.

This is exactly right. The pace at which someone stops walking and starts jogging/running can vary greatly per individual (as was already stated). During the full marathon last year, I was running and was passed at mile 6 by a race walker doing faster than a 10:00 min pace. No way could I walk that fast--heck, apparently, I wasn't even running that fast. :)

13 minute mile could be anything. We have pretty long legs, but we have "jogged" at that rate. Yes, we would likely have been faster walking at that point, though. It all depends. For some, 13 might be a decent pace for a jog.
