This dude isn't me, but I love slow jogging around new cities when I travel. It slows me down enough that I can enjoy the sights, but also gets me around quickly enough that I don't lollygag all day. And it doesn't destroy me so that I can enjoy the rest of the day and not feel like I've wrung myself out like a wet rag before the day even began. And it's low effort enough that dehydration isn't a huge issue even during the summer.

I slow jogged all over Paris, just bopping along, Nico Niko, and people smiled and probably laughed—you know how the French are, especially Parisians—but I got to go all the way up and down the Seine during the middle of the day, and because slow jogging is so slow, it wasn't really rude to the people who were on the pathways. You're moving almost as slowly as the tourists who are lollygagging, so it's not like you're doing that awful thing where you're trying to zip around people, swearing under your breath, being the jerk who's running on a pathway filled with tourists, and so forth.

And it's easier to stop and start when slow jogging, in order to take a photo or enjoy a vista, than it really is to stop and start when you're trying to get your pace in and worrying about cooling down and injuring yourself. In other words, I like to think of it as a touring run, not a training run. Slow jogging is Gran Turismo. Ultra running is Rally. I don't know, my metaphor is falling apart, but you know what I mean.
