Increase endurance

According to research published in the Journal of Internal Medicine, jogging increases your aerobic capacity, making your running more efficient and increasing your endurance.

Reduce the risk of injury

Compared to high-intensity running, running at a slower pace puts less impact on muscles, ligaments and joints, reducing the risk of injury. A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that runners who ran at a slower pace had a lower risk of injury than those who ran at a faster pace.

Increase fat burning

Jogging primarily burns fat for energy, so it can be a great exercise for weight control and body fat loss.

How to run slow?

If you want to start jogging regularly, here are some things to keep in mind:

- Self-pace: Use a heart rate monitor to maintain your heart rate between 60-70 percent of your maximum heart rate.

- Form: Maintain good posture and stride comfortably. Avoid over-striding.

- Drink water: Drink water before, during and after running to ensure adequate hydration.

- Breathing: Practice deep, rhythmic breathing to maximize oxygen intake.

- Warm up and cool down: Perform dynamic stretches before and static stretches after running to prevent injury and aid recovery.

What is the best time to jog?

- Morning: Jogging in the morning can boost your energy levels and metabolism throughout the day.

- Evening: Jogging in the evening can help relieve stress and relax after a long day.
