| Confused Minimalist, To Run or Walk? |
I was already feeling very tired as reached SRP gate, but only had 5km logged. So I decided just to do a lot of walk and jog until I reach my target mileage.
I asked myself, what pace would I do to consider that I'm jogging or walking?? Hmmmm?
So, when is jogging a jog, walking a walk, or running a run?
Is there any universally accepted speed or pace? So that you can tell your buddy; "Hey can we speed up a bit to (insert desired pace) , we're jogging, I want to run !"
Before I started this inquiry, there is one gadget that I know of that will provide a specific pace for a jog or run or walk. Its usually on my wrist top. My GF. I think most, if not all GF models have this feature.
Try to tinker on your GF's and follow these steps:
From main menu, go to training-training options-alerts-pace alerts and you'll see the following pace range:
slow walk:15:32-12:25
walk: 12:25-9:56
fast walk: 10:33-8:04
slow jog: 8:42-6:50
jog: 7:27-5:36
fast jog: 6:12-4:58
slow run: 5:36-4:20
run: 3:06-4:20
sprint: 2:29-3:06
I dont know if this is universally accepted, but at least now I know that with these pace range, I really Jogged a lot ! ! and ran occasionally in a very short distance. Mao ra akoa makaya.
Uban pang mga nakit-an nako:
Walking (also known as ambulation) is one of the main gaits of locomotion among legged animals, and is typically slower than running and other gaits. Walking is defined by an 'inverted pendulum' gait in which the body vaults over the stiff limb or limbs with each step. This applies regardless of the number of limbs - even arthropods with six, eight or more limbs.
Although walking speeds can vary greatly depending on factors such as height, weight, age, terrain, surface, load, culture, effort, and fitness, the average human walking speed is about 5 kilometres per hour (km/h), or about 3.1 miles per hour (mph). Specific studies have found pedestrian walking speeds ranging from 4.51 km/h to 4.75 km/h for older individuals to 5.32 km/h to 5.43 km/h for younger individuals.
Jogging is a form of trotting or running at a slow or leisurely pace. The main intention is to increase fitness with less stress on the body than from faster running.
The definition of jogging as compared with running is not standard. Dr. George Sheehan, a running expert, is quoted to have said "the difference between a jogger and a runner is an entry blank". Mike Antoniades offers a more specific definition, describing jogging as running slower than 6 mph (10 minute per mile pace, 9.7 km/h, 6.2 min/km).
Running is a means of terrestrial locomotion allowing a human or an animal to move rapidly on foot. It is simply defined in athletics terms as a gait in which at regular points during the running cycle both feet are off the ground. This is in contrast to walking, where one foot is always in contact with the ground, the legs are kept mostly straight and the center of gravity vaults over the legs in an inverted pendulum fashion. A characteristic feature of a running body from the viewpoint of spring-mass mechanics, is that changes in kinetic and potential energy within a stride occur simultaneously, with energy storage accomplished by springy tendons and passive muscle elasticity. The term running can refer to any of a variety of speeds ranging from jogging to sprinting.
Oh well, I learned a lot with these readings. I did this so I will be enlightened, and hopefully it may enlighten others too.
Before I'll end, I was just curious how the word "TAMBOK" is translated to english. So I used Google's online translator and it is translated in English to "BULGE". I tried the word "TABA" since there was no English to Cebuano and vice versa translation. TABA is translated to "FAT".
My alter ego
So what is fat? How would a person know if he is fat? Incidentally, my bookshelf is conveniently within reach as I was typing this. I picked up and browsed though a few of my medschool refernces and found the following. |

What the Nosebleed ko ! !
2)Fats consist of a wide group of compounds that are generally soluble in organic solvents and largely insoluble in water. Chemically, fats are generally triesters of glycerol and fatty acids.
Just kidding ! . . . . . .
Actually there is a factual, scientific, medically oriented and easy to use Formula to know that one is "Fat".
This formula is used, not to ridicule other people, but for health risk stratification. It is widely used by physicians, nutritunist and average Joes to lead a healthier life. I think most of us knows about this already. Its known as the Basal Metabolic Index !
Here is the formula:
| English BMR Formula |
|---|
| Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years ) Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year ) |
| Metric BMR Formula |
| Women: BMR = 655 + ( 9.6 x weight in kilos ) + ( 1.8 x height in cm ) - ( 4.7 x age in years ) Men: BMR = 66 + ( 13.7 x weight in kilos ) + ( 5 x height in cm ) - ( 6.8 x age in years ) |
But if you are too lazy, just like me, to crunch the numbers, try this online BMI calculator by the U.S. Health & Human services !
And if you are lazy enough to click on the link above, try this BMI table here ! !
Caution: this formula has the following limitations.
1) It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build.
2) It may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle.
My result says: OVERWEIGHT ! !
How about you? How did you fare? ?
My conclusion? I am an OVERWEIGHT WALKER/JOGGER who sometimes RUN.
Hopefully, I'm able to help and enlighten everyone who reads this. And please correct me if you notice something that you think is erroneous. Thank you!
