r/slowjogging

Hi guys newbie here,

Just did my first slow jog today averaging 11’20 per km pace in my new minimalist shoes. It was a beautiful somewhat chilly evening but sunny! Just some background I had been running since 2024 until I got injured last year. I couldn’t run chased pace/ distance and felt inadequate. I’m in my early 20’s and slim so I assumed slow jogging wouldn’t work because it’s only for elderly or if you’re overweight. But its carefree holistic attitude really attracted me. Although It was quite strange at first jogging at walking pace it was actually really nice! An hour went by so quickly I didn’t even notice. I even forgot my watch which lowkey helped too. If you have any tips or words of encouragement on how slow jogging has helped you please do share :3
