MemberJust a random curiosity. My husband mentioned that at 6mph he had to go into a jog on the treadmill and that 5.8mph was his awkward pace that falls between fast walk and jog. I go into a jog at 4.5 mph and 4.3 is awkward for me.
What about you? What speed to you start jogging at?
MemberI’m doing a “couch to half marathon” program because I am NOT a runner, and right now my run speed is 4.5. My fast walk is 2.5-3.0 and anything between 3.5-4.4 is awkward for me.
I’d imagine it’ll change when I get a little better, though.
MemberNo idea what actual speed in miles, but my day to day tra la la walk is pretty much a powerwalk/light jog. People have refused to shop with me because I’m so quick. My actual “jog” is a run and my run is a sprint so I’m going to assume pretty fast!
MemberWhen I do run, its around a 5.2MPH. I have freaking long legs, so anything slower and I look like Quasimodo trying to get my groove down.
I do run intervals though. 3 minutes run, 1 minute walk.
MemberI’m 5’9″ so 4.5MPH is a brisk walk for me! People always tell me I walk too fast lol.

MemberI’m not sure exactly, since I haven’t ran on a treadmill in a long time, but I go into a jog at a fairly slow speed, since I’m a bit short (5’4) and I feel like it’s more efficient exercise because it’s more movement.
MemberMemberI’m about 5’7″. I could probably manage the fast walk at 3.0 and the run at 4.7/8ish but I’m not sure I’d survive the full 30 mins.
Member5.0 is a jog for me. I’m short (5’2”) and don’t walk particularly fast, but I run at 6.5-7.0.

HostessI’m 5’5″ and 5.0 is when I start jogging. For me, 4.5-4.9 is that awkward pace between walking and jogging.
MemberI’m 5’9″ too and I would say anything under 4.8 is walkable, quite brisk beginning around 4.2. For me, anything over 5 is a jog and anything over 6 is a run. Hope this helps!
